Just to add to Chris's poll, Final Table Only is the suggestion that all of the prizepool is paid out to your last six players. :)

Some cracking ideas in that thread by the way - we had trouble narrowing it down, trust me. There's also a little bit of news around one of the other suggestions too, pending a little bit of housekeeping at our end :)

    ok after the your tournament , your suggestion thread the ideas have been looked at and a shortlist drawn up.

    Most of them are ‘as suggested’, but a couple of them were given small tweaks around start times or GTDs. We are looking for the top 5 from the poll to go into the schedule – Sky will decide which nights for each of them so it doesn’t clash with other events.

    This vote will remain open until Midnight on Sunday 02/12/2012 and hopefully the winning tourneys will be added to the schedule from Monday 03/12/2012

    I like the Velo but why has it been changed to a 1.5k starting stack??

    I was also tempted by number 10 cos I love tournies with top heavy payouts, makes it much more worthwhile cashing rather than havign to come top 2 to get anything decent but why such a tiny starting stack??

    I went for 9 in the end.

    Isn't option 3 simply the would-be "mini-roller" that Sky has yet to run on Super-Roller evenings?

    Instead of having this tournament, so far the mini on offer has been either the unaltered mini-primo or a mini-bounty hunter.

    There are a couple of notes to add to the above.

    Firstly - guarantees. Some of those suggested weren't quite realistic, so we lowered them. However, if you consistently hit the guarantee, we will always consider moving them up. On the flip side, if they undersubscribe constanttly, the guarantees will be lowered. I suspect some of these will move up in the not too distant future though if the Community gets behind them ;)

    Great to see that sizeable turbo in on the Sunday night, really hope it works! Great night to put it on, and good time slot.

    I see tonights comp is also a turbo but has no 500/1k level, which I'm not gonna moan about. Altho I spose that was a moan. moan. moan. etc.

    Plz let Sundays big turbo have that level! plzzzzzzzzzzzzz :)

    Secondly, the rather cryptic Forum Special...

    This one might take a bit of explaining, but it's a pretty interesting format and gives the Community its own tournament which Channel 861 has said it will support when possible. 

    There are two Legs to the Forum Special on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Each of them are £5.50. They will show up in the lobby as £2.50 + £3 fees.

    WHAT??!!! £3 Fees??!!!!

    Steady on, there's a twist ;)

    £2.50 + £3 should actually be more like £2.50 + £2.50 + 50p.

    £2.50 will go into that night's prizepool (either the Tuesday or Thursday), with the other £2.50 going into the kitty for Sunday night's final. The final will be for 6 players, with those with the lowest combined scores of their finish positions on the Tuesday and Thursday put into the Sunday final.

    Say you get 100 runners on both nights - that's a total of £500 (200 x £2.50) going into the Sunday final, with all six players earning a slice of that prizepool. That obviously sits on top of any money they would have won in the two qualifying legs. Can't be too bad for £11, right?

    Channel 861 will aim to pop into this tournament and give you a bit of exposure on Sky Poker TV too.

    This Tues/Thurs/Sun tournament format will be for the Community. A new thread will be set up and run by myself and Chris. The tourneys will be passworded too, with the details going out on the same thread. That way the tournament stays as another way for Community players to get their play aired on 861.

    Think the idea of the forum special is a brilliant one, was trying to come up with a similar idea on the TPT website forum for a team special mtt (bragging rights)..

    To actually see this in action is brilliant, will be an added extra to sky for certain, and to have 861 on board to air it, will give us lower stake players the chance of some air time to get our plays analysed (only way that's possible at the moment is to SAT into the main event).
    Brilliant IMO.

    Also glad to see the Mega stack on a friday night, which was my own idea WIIIIIIIIII.
    Can only mean positive things for me, as i normally spend about £40 up the pub / club fridays. Gives me an excuse to stay in, plus will please the misses (well might do lol).
