    The Community comes up with some really good ideas, and we're pleased to say lee100's idea on another thread has brought you all a new tournament.

    Say hello to the....

    SUNDAY SUPER STACK!

    Here are the details for you:

    • £11 buy-in, 10,000 chips. 
    • Blinds will go up every 10 minutes 
    • A whopping ONE HOUR late reg.
    • Play kicks off at 3pm.

    As with any new tourneys, there are a couple of small points. We won't run these on the same Sundays as the Super Rollers, so you get these every Sunday EXCEPT the last of the month. That makes the first one NEXT Sunday - 2nd September.

    We're also more than willing to move the start time a little but, with the slow structure, we will always want it to be an afternoon kick off. Call your 'range' here as noon until 4pm. 

    I'll stick a poll up on this post too, so you can all vote for preferred start time. The first one will kick off at 3pm on Sunday 2nd September. I know this because it's in the lobby already!

    Hope you enjoy it!

    Dave

    It's a nice addition to the schedule.. I think 4pm would be best tho to combine with the late kickoff in the footie.

    On a side note... i would like to see lots of turbo and velocity mtts brought back into the schedule too! thanks

    What will the blinds structure be? (first level), level whereby last lage regs can join etc.

    Any guarantee on it?

    To answer my own questions as it's in the lobby.

    Definitely like this one. If this one proves popular maybe consider running one in the evening too say 7.30 or 8.00 start?

    Don't think that'll happen. I think it'd have more effect as a weekly tournament which people actually go on sky to play. Every evening would spoil it imo. But there should definitely be something every evening with the same buy in and with a good structure, like 3-5k 12m blinds. Need antes quick

    I don't think that would work, the whole point people make over and over again is that they have jobs and don't wanna be playing a tourney til 3-4am, so I don't think you can start a super deepstacked at 7pm and expect it to finish at a reasonable time.

    Because a vast majority of people have to get up early for work on a Monday. However on a bank holiday weekend, a vast majority of people have the Monday off and don't need to get up early.

    Putting it on at the same time as the Super Rollers would mean it clashing with the Primo. Sky aint going to do that.

    Besides, it's nice to have a good tournament on in the early afternoon on a Sunday.

    Thanks for the comments so far - keep them coming please :)

    Regarding start time, Lambert has pretty much nailed it. The idea of this tourney is that it allows players to play a slow structured, deep stacked tourney at a modest buy-in. This means that - should the numbers get up to 100+ - it could go on for quite some time. Sunday night finishes past midnight are pretty undesirable for many due to work in the morning, plus it definitely adds something different to the afternoon line-up.

    As for a guarantee, we decided to get a guage on how well it's received before putting one on. On a personal level I am pleased we've got this tourney on the schedule. I am sure Lee is too. The one thing we'd hate though is for a big guarantee to miss and have the tournament condemned or - just as bad imo - have a relatively small GTD keep the runners artificially low. Those are my personal views, anyway. 

    Let's see how it plays out for the first handful of installments and then an guaranteed could be considered.

    Voted for 4pm but would rather have 5.30pm or 6pm due to the football on Sundays which idonk already pointed out

    I like this idea, again I voted for 4pm but would prefer a 6/6.30 due to the football. Maybe some sats throughout the day as well? Standard £2.20 1 in 5?

    So far 8 registered. Hopefully this will get a large number of runners which will give Sky the incentive to add a guarantee in future weeks.

    think its a great idea just registered i think if it was a gtd event thisncould easily draw in a large number of players i think it will easily top 100 today though which would put the prize pool around 1k which isnt bad at all

    Talking to others around the table more people seem to be looking forward to this more than any other tournament. Love the structure.
