I like the tournament additions. Adding MTTs with deep starting stacks and longer levels is great. Please keep it up. Other tournaments I'd like to see added are (all non turbo except the last):
--daily 6-max $5r (1500 buyin, 2500 addon);
--daily $50 1r+1a;
--daily $109 freezeout;
--daily $33/$60 HU tournament;
--daily $60/$109/$215 evening non turbo 6 max mtt (any of those buyins are fine);
--daily $82/$109 turbo in the evenings
With respect to the newest additions:
I think the 13.30 starts too early. On Sundays, the $60 FO with a 17.5k guarantee starts at 14:00 and the 125k at 16:00. I think starting this new mtt at 15.00 would be better. If you're starting it early to draw more people into all the early tournaments, I guess it makes sense. But I'd rather have it later and allow it to catch the entire 125k crowd rather than miss a lot of people that don't start until later in the day.
Evening 109 looks good. Except it really should be a daily tournament and not a Sunday only event.
Can you please explain the guarantee's on the Sunday Evening 109 and the The Sunday Sixer? No offense, but what the f*** are you thinking? Adding a named event and expecting only ~100 people to register (or <200 for the 109) when it's the prime part of a Sunday doesn't make sense.
The early $60 FO has a 17.5k guarantee and the late one has a $12.5k guarantee. If you want to add another $60 FO (which we all appreciate) that has its own name and is more of a "special" event, it needs to beat the guarantee on those two. The 125k gets 1300+ runners now and the High Roller gets close to 300. The 30c has 400+ and 55r around 250. You have to expect these MTTs can at least get around the same number of entrants those tournaments. Realistically, it should be able to get more entrants since 1) tickets are accepted (which isn't true for the rebuy/addon portions of the 30c/55r) and 2) they are intended to be larger, named events with great structures
At least a guarantee of $25k on the 109, preferably $40k. The Sunday Sixer should have a guarantee of $20k, preferably $30k.
Look at the $500 superstack as an example. If you put out good tournaments, promote them and have large guarantees, the players will follow.
Just so no one is upset, I just wanted to let you know that I moved the generic tournament questions over to the tournament thread, as Merge regularly reads that, and all the feedback will actually get the attention of those who can affect change.
I also deleted the unnecessary posts that were now out of place due to the movement of posts.
Lets keep this thread on topic so its easier for us to pass on the feedback directly associated to this issue.
