Nice job, there it is on the schedule today. $5 10k noon ET

The $5 $10k is awesome. I hope it goes every Sunday. Great value for the buy-in.

Time for a $300 250k GTD that would crush

Ok next addition on a Sunday will be the monthly 69er

it will run on the last Sunday of each month

$6.9k - GTD
.69c - buyin, rebuy and add on
3 hours of late reg
5 min levels
69000 starting chips with same rebuys
6,900,000 addon chips

Its obviously a gimmick tournament and will be crazy...

The blind structure i havent done yet so i need to work it out

Sounds like we're on track to a monthly Sunday big tourney!? one time!?

+1 lets make it happen WPN TD, you now that like a 300 300k would smash the guarantee every month

CEO a few years ago talked of a monthly million, time to man up.

i bet a 1.10 turbo rebuy with 5k guar on sundays would work for players and the site.

I wish there were a few more mtts around the 33 dollar range on sundays that would be worth playing.. I see you guys added a ton of new 50 dollar ones on sunday. how about some smaller ones with decent guarantees?

33 15k turbo?
22 12k turbo?
5 4k turbo?
2 1.5k turbo?

maybe have an upcoming tournament series where all of the tournament structures are turbo?

Interesting.. Gotta love a 6.9k pp for .69c

Someone over there loves to 69

Costa rica...

The country has consistently performed favourably in the Human Development Index (HDI), placing 69th in the world as of 2015, among the highest of any Latin American nation. (Wikipedia)

So that explains the promotional million dollar $.69, 6.9, $69 jackpots

I like this gimmick... I'll donk off a few bullets in this one...

the 5 dollar 10k is great. now how bout like a 3 dollar 2k with 5k starting stack and 3 hours late reg around 3 oclock.

they already have a $3 1.5k that runs everyday of the week

note the 3 hr late reg

The $3 1.5k late reg is way longer and still struggles to hit its GTD, if WPN did a 3hr late reg they'd always overlay

What if they add a 16.50 mid-size guarantee around 3-3:30 pm et and added in the 11 2.5k they run every other day at 4:25ish pm et

I mean, I agree it might overlay at it's current time, but could be moved. I don't think overlaying something that small matters on WPN Sundays tho because they crush their big GTD's so hard...

What's a "mid-size" GTD? Like 10k? I guess its a better suggestion than the "we need $55 $1m GTD, would easily get gtd".

The Sunday schedule is very annoying. There are 5 $109's, but only 2 that aren't tailored for specific players. 3 $215's, 2 of which destroy gtd. 5 $55's, 3 that crush gtd, and a useless late-night PLO. and a $22 25k that nearly double its gtd. Oh, and the $530 HR that doubles gtd.

All of this is great, right? except it's really not. If you're not throwing $1-$3k into the games, what's really the point of grinding? For some reason, the $30 daily game is $12.5k gtd. Color me clueless, but that's the lowest of any day it runs... why? None of the daily games that actually get to grace the Sunday schedule have GTD increases, and some are decreased?

I just don't get why Sundays have to be this "high stakes only" day, when clearly you have marked Wednesday down for that.

I have a theory tho. Because TD is only allowed a certain $$$$ for Sunday gtd's. Since all that $$$ in tied up in the super huge and super profitable majors of the day, it doesn't leave anything left for anything else. So to hell with balancing the schedule if you're printing more on 7-10 big games.

But yea, while adding a $5 10k is nice and all, it def doesn't balance the schedule. I don't think it's in their plans to do so either. It's just so unbalanced compared to the rest of the week, I don't even know where to start fixing it.

FWIW i have pretty much free reigns in what tournaments i put on any given day!

I just have to keep overlays down

People play on Sundays to win lots of money. WPN has to compete with every other networks Sunday offerings, naturally, they have to focus on the big stuff.

With that said, I 100% agree on the guarantees. Even going into the slower times of the year, most of the guarantees could use a look at. Bigger # in the lobby leads to bigger #'S in general. Some of them, like the $30 12.5K and the $530 just don't make sense to be where they are.

I am not 100% disagreeing but you have to look at it this way.

if i make the 20k high roller a 40k high roller.. Does that bring any new players to the site.. Is it going to make the average Joe play it now its a 40k?

same with 12.5 going to 15

In the case of the $530, maybe. That isn't a huge buy in even though it is for online. Casino players are used to that being on the smaller side of things, so may fire if they see a bigger prize pool. Also, people who multi site may choose to skip it and play a few additional $215's elsewhere thinking it's just a $20K instead of the $40-$50K it usually is.

I don't think going from 12.5 to 15 on the $30 would do much, but $20K certainly would. I can see why you may be hesitant to do that though wth a $55 $20K not that far away.

Could we add a big 33 or big 11 in the mix too? or at least have the 11 2.5ks get bumped to 3ks or 4ks depending on how it goes? Also maybe some turbos with decent guarentees during the same time as the big field 25k and 50k would be nice.

I was thinking of something simple like a 16.50 4 or 5k. You can take out that 11 4 max that no one plays and put it there. 5k starting with 12 levels of late reg... Also please add the 11 2.5k around 4:25. I think this helps fill out the schedule and provides more games for these buy ins which I believe is needed on Sunday..

I predominantly play live cash, but some tourneys, too. The $500 is really a buyin on a smaller cash table and around the low end of average for the daily tournament stuff. The bigger prize pool is far greater in the 150K GTD and even the 50K both for $200+ in relation to the entryurse. The $500 is not unattractive/unaffordable to the casual player, just look at the amount of entries into the Milly games. I think the casual or weekend warrior player will likely toss their money behind either the 150K and/or the 50K since the ratio is better.

I can see them filling out a weekly big dollar purse, like a 300-500K for $300 or so, not to derail the thread. Personally, I'd love to see some one hour registration games like $5 800 gtd, $10 1.5K gtd, $20 3K gtd.
