Its obviously very unfortunate it clashes with the Gala/Bristol final.........and for many of us online sats are the only realistic justification in playing either.....so to just have one weekly online final is a bit disappointing tbh, compared to Galas 3 a week (and similar fot the GUKPT).
Any chance of another sat during the week, in the final run up?
If they thought they'd get the runners for the sats I'm sure they'd have them on every night.
Truth is they clash with tournaments so people don't have a chance to play both.
Thursdays sat just about makes 20 runners so only just makes enough for the seat. It guaranteed so it's not a major problem but they need to be careful to not have too many overlays.
The proper sats where you're playing for 1 of 10 seats will hopefully start just before the event.
