Sorry to hear about the Sunday $11 / $10K GTD. That tournament used to be one of my favorite ones. It appears that "whoever" decided to adjust the tournaments still hasn't made up his mind as the 100K was 150+ X yesterday, lol.
It also seems like "big bounty" is the new route taken. I played a few of them the last days with 50% of the buy-in being the player bounty. Seeing it applied to the 10K GTD is a shame.
I have to say though that I do like them deesptack turbo tourneys.

I knew the lesser GTD's were coming - how long can you go continuing to pay overlays in every Sunday tournament? But gimmicking the $10k to a bounty format, even with an increase in starting chips from 2k to 3k, is a terrible decision.
I believe adjusting the overlays is the right thing to do. Few weeks ago the 100K GTD had a 35K overlay. On the long run and specially with the problems Lock currently has the changes seem reasonable to me even if we the players (as usually) don't like those changes. Personally I hate the 10K change.

Yet again, Lock, and Revolution, are at the forefront of alerting it's players of upcoming changes....AND, yet again, instead of dealing with their issues, they just adjust their tournament schedule accordingly. How long until the GTD's are lowered until they are undesirable to play?
I guess Shane posting the tournament changes on 2+2 might be seen as advertising which he's clearly not allowed to do atm. But Lock could have posted the changes on their new /news page and gotten their social media guy to get the news out... oh well, good that the regulars stay on top of site changes themself...
