    Please find below details for the six Sky Poker Tour legs and the Grand Final finale which will once again be hosted at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.


    Leg 1 – Dusk Till Dawn, Nottingham (Six-Max Event)

    29th - 30th October 2011 – 2 day event

    £220 buy-in, 200 runner cap.


    Leg 2 – Aspers Casino, Newcastle

    10th December 2011

    £110 buy-in, 150 runner cap.


    Leg 3 – G Casino, Luton

    As well as the Main Events at each of these legs, all venues will also be hosting SPT side events on both Friday and Saturday nights. Two day events will also see the inclusion of a Sunday side event, completing what will promise to be a bumper weekend of poker.


    “It’s promises to be the biggest and best ever Sky Poker Tour. Our customers love these events and I’m sure they will be putting dates in the diary for these” said Richard Milner, head of Sky Poker. “With the addition of a new Sky Poker Tour Leaderboard too, it’s sure to be even more competitive tour.”


    Details of the satellites for Leg 1 of the 2011-12 Sky Poker Tour will be announced soon, but as always each tournament will be designed for smaller bankrolls and focus on great structures.

    The tour looks UNBELIEVABLY good for next year, it's like it has advanced 3-4 years in 1 year, well played everyone involved!

    I love how it's so much bigger and better yet the introduction of the Bounty Hunter and the 6 max event really maintain the fun/Sky feeling from where it all started. I hope to attend as many of these as possible, can't wait!!

    WOW!!

    It just gets even better.  I've always enjoyed the SPT's before, but the different tourney types, 6 max, and BH just add another fun element, then topped off with a league, leaderboard, final play-off tourney, free entry to a years worth of SPTs and also to get onto Team Sky Poker.

    Mind blowing!!  Seems to good to be true, you would be stupid not to enter such a group of tourneys with all of that added value.

    VERY WELL DONE SKY - As Penguin7 says "AWESOME"

    Looks like an excellent season.

    Have they changed the dates for the Final in Nottingham, i'm sure they said on the show last night that it was in August.

    You're right Steve - the date should be Sept. There was a double booking which moved it back a touch I believe.

    Awesome 2011 - 2012 Schedule, I'll play every one* if I can.

    *not Glasgow, I'll be at Brighton so multitabling live in different countries would be a challenge.

    It is quite a schedule, and I am sure it will be well supported.  It does, though look as though the number of runners are fixed.  It is likely that most of the semis will be 1 in 10 as indicated for leg 1 and as we players all know it can be very tough to qualify, eg 29 runners, only 2 qualify etc.  I am sure it would be helpful (and appreciated) if, when deciding whether to try and qualify, an indication of the tournament structure was available.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Direct buy-in for each event will be available in the lobby but not immediately.
    We will announce when direct buy-in is available.

    The venues may have some seats available to buy-in on the door but you would have to contact them directly to find out.

    Regards

    1 day events will be 5,000 and 30 minute clock as this year

    2 day events either 10 or 15,000 and a 40 minute clock. Looking at 15k for the Six Max and 10k for the 10 handed games, I think

    Most pressure will be on the Six max qualification with 180 seats, 150 in the lobby now and going to be very popular

    the majority of seats will be for satellite qualification on sky poker

    then direct buy in on Sky Poker, as mentioned above

    then a live satellite at the venue

    I highly doubt any venue will have seats left to sell after those three routes to playing in

    All events will see alternate entries for at least 2 levels after the start of play
