JUST A IDEA ON THE PRIZES

ckd

just added a rough idea on the prize pool

unknown_username

Have you done the maths to see how many initial entrants you would need to fill the final )

Eyeman

Prizes are way off. No way can a "cash" be half the buy-in. So £20,000 would be minimum prize. 100 runners would pay 10 places only.

Thank goodness you removed that depressing C word from the subject. Only just got over the last one... ;-)

Posted by elsadog

i know its alot but over the time its running and the chance of adding to your stack as well as the lowwer buy-ins i think it would be reached

it would need 100 in the final to hit the gtd but with that sort of prize i think it would go well and bring new player to the site and put sky up there with the bigger sites

i think it would reach the gtd over the time

i know the prize pool needs doing again but i think if it paid 20 insteed of 10 there would be more interest in it

lol still trying to get over it so your lucky if you have already

It's a fun idea, but there's nowhere near enough traffic here for Sky to risk such a big guarantee.

FlashFlush

I don't think Sky has the traffic to get this going. Look at the vegas satelites, there is a trip of a lifetime up for grabs and the final gets 10-20 runners a month. Think you need to stick to the big US sites for this im afraid.

The site wouldn't handle the number of sats required............ it would implode.

Great Concept, traffic may be a problem but nice to have something to aim at -

Regarding the Pay Outs, if you want 20 runners to be paid then perhaps this Prize Pool is better for you:

PRIZE POOL BASED ON 100 RUNNERS IN THE FINAL

1 -£300,000

2 -£190,000

3 -£120,000

4 -£70,000

5 -£52,000

6 -£38,000

7 -£27,000

8 -£20,000

9 -£18,000

10 -£15,000

11 -£15000

12 -£15000

13 -£15000

14 -£15000

15 -£15000

16 -£15000

17 -£15000

18 -£15000

19 -£15000

20 -£15000

ckd

it would be 1054 entrys into the
£2.60 sat a day for a year thats just in 1 sat

if you take the other games that are on offer and if advertised right the trafic would come (or for the film lovers out there 'if you build it they will come' lol)

this is just my idea for a good tourny and i do belive that if marketed right sky would grow to a new level
i belive the site trafic will increase by far and that it would go well but thats just my oppinion

i know it would be alot to put down but i belive the rewards would be better than the risks...again just my oppinion

it would be 24 sats a day min max would be 40

as for the step games it would be like dym games so should be able to handle it

if sky are looking to improve and get new players to take the site forward then they are going to have to start getting out there with bigger games....i belive that this would put them up there and would overtake alot of the comp which is good for us all

Sorry I don't mean to dampen down the idea but I really can't see people playing sats 12 months in advance. If you look at the sites that run a million mtt every week the take-up is slow until the day of the mtt and then it goes manic. All the sats would pile up near the date and with the current Sky set up it just wouldn't cope with the number of sats needed to hit the guarantee. 

The big sites have progressed to these huge prize pools over a number of years. I remember when $50k a week and a $100k mtt once a month was the order of the day. 

£100k as a monthly mtt with sats throughout the month might be feasable though.

I like the idea but needs tweaking

dylan12

TBH, I don't agree with all the points CKD makes and it is a very ambitious GTD BUT...

Would I want to play it? YUP

Would it have mass appeal? OFC - who doesn't wanna win 300K +!! 

So in short, people are writing that it wouldn't work and stuff and it needs tweaking (I am one of them) your absolutely correct probably due to traffic issues on SKY but why not be ambitious - CKD has designed a tournament idea that he thinks will appeal to the masses and that tbf is his (and everyone else's) brief - I doubt it will win but If I were voting I would vote for his idea to win and then let the SKY peeps to do their job and tweak it so that it would work.

I'm not sure if this is an actual serious idea or a joke.

NitFace - the brief is to "invent" a tournamnet that a player themselves would like to play in and would appeal to the masses - now even you would play this if it happened  

5toneFace

Oh ive just noticed. This was the only one I looked at. And no I wouldnt play it. 5k starting stack and 10min clock. A crapshoot for £10000 doesnt appeal to me ;-)

dylan12

Knew you wouldn't have looked anywhere else fish

Agree with ya 

Just want a SKY MILLION mtt now though
