Are those the right dates for the Grand Final - on the TV last night it was announced as the 25th-26th August? Leaderboard points for the 6max still run the same, even though 7th-9th are also non-final cashes?

Title: Re: Sky Poker Tour 2011-12 Post by: JoanDigweed on September 09, 2011, 10:59:46 AM im going to take a part in it.This is my first tournament. I am a lil bit nervous)
Title: Re: Sky Poker Tour 2011-12 Post by: DaveShoelace on September 09, 2011, 11:30:52 AM Great looking tour, think the buy-ins are spot on, nice bit of variety, and the added value leader board etc is perfect for the sky community.
I think having one or two online legs like APAT/Unibet/GUKPT have done on their tours would have been a nice addition and got some more action to the online room. Title: Re: Sky Poker Tour 2011-12 Post by: Shogun112 on September 09, 2011, 11:44:31 AM Leaderboard points for the 6max still run the same, even though 7th-9th are also non-final cashes?
