New Sky Poker Tour

[titaniumbean]

Tighty/Tikay can you explaine why you can't get paid in cash please.

maybe they don't want to be travelling round the country with 20K+ in their pockets? tbf sky have the quickest cashouts to bank account that I know of, although I hate the way it tells me "Ha! you have deposited £71264650 more than you have withdrawn you stupid fish"

this, the cashout is ridic, i've had it next day before!

might have to try and sat into some of these was a laugh at dtd

Tighty/Tikay can you explaine why you can't get paid in cash please.

Qualification for all legs (not the final last year, to be decided for this year) is online only via Sky Poker

Payout is to the Sky Poker account by close of play on the Monday. No cash goes to the venue, and no one can pay in at the venue

Cashouts from there are very quick too. Had one once. Strange but true.

Rich ... say for arguments sake, I had a "friend" with a sky poker account, I played their account ... because it has cash in it and won a seat (yes I know, highly unlikely) ... but if i did, would I be able to play or would it be the person whose name is on the account.

[Colchester Kev]

Ps. i will try and post more tricky, awkward questions as I think of them

cheers for that.

I don't know but I know a man who does. He's in Harrogate. Lovely place Harrogate.

Will find out for you

[KarmaDope]

What about if I (again, highly unlikely) win a seat for Manchester but cant attend and know in advance - can I sell/transfer the seat or am I screwed?

EDIT: Know in advance ie winning my seat this week but finding out in 2-3 weeks time that I cant attend

Rich ... say for arguments sake, I had a "friend" with a sky poker account, I played their account ... because it has cash in it  and won a seat (yes I know, highly unlikely) ... but if i did, would I be able to play or would it be the person whose name is on the account, and if that person who played cashed in the tournament for arguments sake, could that person who's account it was collect his winnings in cash on the said night for arguments sake. If this was not possible could you ask the guy in Harrogate for arguments sake if he might allow it.

And could said player wear an upside down blonde badge on their shirt ?

the answer to that part is No. No cash paid out on the night

I will ask the seat transfer questions tomorrow.

Not upside down, no.

Or the right way up.

[Laxie]

For arguments sake, what are the chances of winning a seat in the first place?  Will think of other arguments after I've had my nap.

The tour sounds good, but not a massive fan of the 'satellite only' entry. Even just a few seats offered to the public would have been nice.

Each Venue will hold a 5 Seat Super Satellite.

Hear what you say on Satellite Only Entry, but it's a no-brainer.

PS - That did not mean to sound as rude as it does, but you get my drift!

Yep, I understand tikay. I'm always pushing for more satellites into events, but I also like to know that I can always buy-in to an event if I am not one of the lucky ones.

Tour does sound good though, and hopefully I can bink a seat or two!

If anyone can, you can.* 

* Cooey-wooey schmooze over.

But what am i supposed to do 

[turny]

tighty i know its early but do u know if sky are going to add a grand final seat to the top ten finishers in each league like they did at the last spukt?

its says considerable added value but it looks a bit vague what this might be

thanks

This is confusing. Are all players not allowed to wear ANY branded shirts/hats/hoodies etc?

The official press release isn't out yet, or the SPT page on the website. Any day now

Nevertheless I can confirm they (we?) are adding a Grand Final seat to the top three finishers in each leg this time round
