SPCC (Sky Poker Challenge Cup)

unknown_username

Anyone fancy a new challenge? How about the "Sky Poker Challenge Cup" 

My proposal is:

Daily Sats to a Weekly Quarter Final (1 in 5 go through to Quarter's)
Weekly Quarter Final to Monthly Semi-Final (1 in 5 go through to Semi)
Monthly Semi-Final to a yearly event (SPCC Sky Poker Challenge Cup) 1 in 5 go through to final

All quarter's, Semi's &  Final could have a direct buy in.

We all like the SPT Live events but some people can't always make it to the venues or play all of their poker online, so why not give the online players a little something to play for.

I have proposed similar things in the past and we always get told something is in the pipeline but it seams fruision may be stuck in the pipeline lol. 

Obviously we would need sky's approval to get this or anything similar to this so please cast your vote to show your interest.

Please sky can you take a serious look at this and see what you can come up with.

Yours Sincerely
Pokertrev.

Like the idea trev...but a year is a long time to wait for a final,i cannot see anyone entering early.

poker players don't like paying for owt too far in advance.

Only the same length of time as the SPT grand final thou tbh.

I'm not saying the idea is the be all and end all, but surely we / sky can come up with a format that suits most.

Any Ideas?

GREAT IDEA!

 Great idea. Perhaps it could run in conjunction with the SPT, with each leg running one week behind the SPT schedule.

i agree, great idea trev...but think it should be a shorter format, maybe quarterly or even monthly would be more appealing

Thanks for your input - the idea of a shorter format is beginning to appeal to me.

I think this is an excellent idea, especially for those of us not interested in the "live" game.

Excellent idea. I can't make the live events due to personal reasons but I'd be up for this.

last i knew, no dogs allowed in casinos (unless a guide dog) and im sure playing poker blind is quite a challenge, although im sure some players here try it on a regular basis!!!

I would prefer to see an annual online festival jobbie than the year-long qualification ting.  You can have your main event but you could have side events for PLO, PLO8, turbos etc.  And I think that SCOOP (Sky Championship of Online Poker) has a better ring to it.

We did suggest one calles "SPOC" once "Sky Poker Online Championship" but I think that too got launched into space.
