Cardroom Changes # 5 - Rebuy Bounty Hunters
Bounty Hunters are incredibly popular on Sky Poker, deep analysis of player stats have proven this conclusively.
It is now possible to have Rebuy Bounty Hunters, & these will start being added to the Tournament Schedule over the next few days. If they prove popular, more & a wider variety will be added. If they don't, they won't......

10% rake please, these are unlikely to work if it's 15% on buy-in and rebuys.
there is no good reason to take 15%
snowball tornaments were good fun
like lots have said, can you look at putting the rake on the lower level BHs to 10pc, in line with every poker room.
I'm making a run for the top spot of the TSP MTT league during the last couple of weeks, and I really really hate playing the 5.75BHs cos of the totally ridiculous rake. it just doesn't make sense at all. if your gonna charge 15pc on low level BHs, then surely charge 15pc on all other tournies too?

I expect the software changes have messed with your pre-set default settings.
If I click sort, to the placement number, the chip count goes random.
It used to be sorted in order of chip count and placement at the same time.
Hope this can get sorted.. (its the same with BH and Freeze out)
If I click "RANK", rank sorts in order, but the chip count goes random.
If I click "CHIPS" the rank goes random.
It used to be in order of both at the same time.
OK guys, I can't explain that, I have no explanation, & it's fine for me.
Adam has had a hectic 24 hours, with all the overnight changes & stuff, & so is not currently available, but I'll send this Thread to him, & he'll comment in due course.
Hopefully, you'll be able to live with it for 24 hours.
Apologies.
post in technical queries
but, yes, the way the thread has gone it should be in technical queries. But, nothing i can do about that now.
It was'nt supposed to be a technical querie, just an observation.
It will work in the same way as your initial buy in split 50/50. So lets say it's a £10 + £1 Rebuy BH (2k chips), when you rebuy:
2000 chips will be added to your stack
£5 will add to your head value
£5 will add to the cash prize pool*
Add ons may be available which will work in the same way, but adding 3000 chips.
The rebuy chip threshold may be 0, i.e. you can only rebuy when you are knocked out, or it may be when you dip below your starting stack as per current rebuy events. Some will have unlimited rebuys, where as others will be restricted to just 1 or 2 rebuys when you are reduced to 0 chips (dbl chance/triple chance)
The rules will be clearly displayed in the tournament lobby.
* If it's a guaranteed rebuy BH which has overlayed from it's initial buy-ins then this contribution will not be added to the prizepool until the guarantee is met.
As TK advised, these will start appearing in the tournament schedule this week,
Kind Regards
Adam
The Lobby "sort" problem reported by SolidStan & others, earlier.
Adam has now sent me a note about it.
They have managed to replicate the bug, & you are correct, it needs a little "fix" to rectify it.
Not sure when it will be sorted (oops....), but hopefully, pretty quickly.
Apologies, & I hope it does not spoil the game too much in the interim.
Possibly, possibly not - it depends upon demand. If nobody plays Rebuy Bounty Hunters, then Sky Poker would be pretty daft to persist with them. If there is shown to be a demand, then they will.
No Room is going to offer a Product that nobody wants, & if the demand is there, then they'll offer them.
You not in Luton on Saturday, I see - try & make Leeds, OK?
On the equally important subject of player lists in lobbies: Before the start of a tournament they used to be listed in alphabetical order. Now if their name begins with an upper case letter they are listed alphabetically followed by the bulk of the lower case in random order. This applies whether viewed by chips or rank. It makes it difficult looking to see if a particular player is entered.
Another unforeseen change today: If I have the forum open when a game starts, the table is opened twice, once by the download and again by the browser. I had 4 tournaments and SNGs opening together and had tables everywhere !
