Awesome upgrade of the tour. A couple of points (one big, one super, super picky)

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?

It's 8th-9th September, a small proof reading glitch by yours truly

Leaderboard points for six max are top 6 only

You might think that.....

im going to take a part in it.This is my first tournament. I am a lil bit nervous)

[DaveShoelace]

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.

Looks great, will try to come over from Spain to show support to one of them.

If I win seats via SkyPoker, can I cash in the seat for £'s or keep the seat for an event in the future?
