Schedule looks pretty good to me, especially if some are 6-max.
However, I will say that having the two sunday events as $500'dos seems a bit much. I brought this up in the tournament improvement thread about the weekly 7. It seems that you are pricing out the casual or mid-stakes player, which does not appear to be good business (but you guys have stats and research to back up your choices so...).
Imo, these types of special tournaments should be used to bring in more recreational players. $500 is a bit out of most rec players range, especially with the somewhat difficult process of getting $ on and off. I understand you guys are trying to bring in row players, etc.
However, it seems this buy-in will attract two types of players besides the current regs. 1. Pros living or playing in row who mostly play on established sites and who won't play regularly on Merge based on other options and 2. US pros who play live mostly now, who aren't gonna make online a regular part of their routine.
My suggestion is to price the final main event (keep 1st sunday as $500 if u guys want) to reach a wider base including mid-stakes players (who aren't moving to play online) and rec players. This bolsters your playing base with players more likely to be repeat customers.
In this manner, I say make the final either $215 or (if u want a slightly bigger buy-in than normal) $322 (which some of the bigger ftops used to be).
I know I (as a semi-reg mid to high stakes player) would be much more inclined to pony up the buy-in.
Cheers guys.
