SnG Satellites

SnG Satellites

In addition to running MTT Satellites for a variety of larger buy-in tournaments Sky Poker should introduce SnG Satellites also.  Probably 6-seater winner takes all for the seat into the larger buy-in tournament.

Imagine:

Sunday all day
6 seater SnG's £9-ish entry fee winner takes a £55 £15k Primo seat.

Monday all day
6 seater SnG's £3.70-ish entry fee winner takes a £22 £4k Double Stack seat.

Every weekday
6 seater SnG's £1.80-ish entry fee winner takes a £11 TSP Classic seat.
etc etc etc

    Hope you didn't move onto idea #2 then - Synchronised breaks!

    Bandini, right, never going to happen!

    Hi Machka,

    Actually proposed this (v.similar ilk) 2 weeks ago here - Sky Dave did mention that there may be "administration" issues though but he was going to raise it.

    Anyway, you get my vote sir as you won't have seen my thread and I didn't resubmit it :)

    Hi Dan, I think SnG satellites are quite normal elsewhere, I may be wrong.  As you see above MAXALLY was also about to post the same suggestion so there could be some interest in this.

    I suspect the administration issue may be rake related as in theory Sky Poker would like to rake this twice.  Once to run the satellite and secondly on the buy-in to the Primo, etc.

    I don't see this as a problem, as long as it's spelled out in the Terms and Conditions, just rake it sufficiently to cover the expected costs.  If people aren't happy with this then they don't have to enter!

    Very good idea.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't there been points SNG Sats before?  If so surely can't be much of a stretch.

    I'm reusing this SnG idea for the current Design a Sit & Go competition, because I'm mad like that. 

    Vote people, vote.
