The current steps will end of Monday (last day)

Tuesday i will start with new steps just to the mega 50 pkg sat. (i will not have the same price points) it will be steeper.

I will then give info and we will be sending an email to everyone on how they can use their unused tickets.

Hi Winning_TD

Two questions --

1) Do WSOP Satellite SNGs give points for the SNC leaderboard? (live chat support said that they did, but I'm not convinced)

2) I have a couple $500+40 tickets, and while I'd like to continue playing the $150's, I'm worried I'll stack up tickets and the $540's won't fire. Are they useable in any $540 event or just the step system?

No these dont go towards snc

You can use the 540 in the megasat on July the 2nd.

Anyone have the info or email? I have a $540 ticket and already won a spot in the mega. Just checked email and nothing in there.

This is definitely the right decision. For step sngs to work properly players need time to accumulate tickets at the higher steps for them to run. If there is a deadline it deters people from putting the time in fear of not reaching the highest step before the deadline hits.

+1. Glad you guys are keeping them going. I thought the steps posted for PC earlier in this thread were very good. Hopefully with a little longer to play them they will be popular.

So I'm looking at the Steps Lobby right now and its really confusing having two different steps systems going at once.

I feel like the idea of the step system should be very simple. Tournaments that enter you into a high value tournament and you make it to the top. Having two things at once over complicates this idea.

WSOP Mega Sat Step 1/6 = 1.10 entry.
WSOP Step 1/7 = 1.65 entry.

I get you are trying to give people other changes to use their tickets and to build up the steps by doing multiple things but I feel as if its too much.

I would suggest simplifying the steps system and let people go up and down the steps ( I know you said previously this becomes a rake generator, and it is but it goes in the spirit of the steps idea.) Ideally a payout system of 1st and 2nd go up, 3rd stays where they are and 4th goes down a step is good as you make rake for keeping people in the system and it gives players longer to fight for the next step.

With this system though a couple things need to be adjusted. Let people out of the steps at certain times, this helps the unused steps tickets get used in other ways. So for instance if you have step 2 be 15 + 1.50 or 10 + 1 then these tickets can be used for MTT's at that buyin amount. Then maybe step 4 is 60+6 which lets that ticket get used. Then step 6 is 200+15 so that can be used as well. Step 7 can be 540 and can be used when the Million dollar Sunday comes around or any other promotion running at that price tag. When its WSOP season you at a step 8 which rewards the 2800 ticket and step 9 for the 12500 package. Now with all this you make every step that isn't one you want people to be able to leave the step system at be some random buyin amount that never has an MTT run at it. Something like step 3 being 24.50 or something like that.

Now obviously the math to figure out the right price points for each step needs to be figured out but I think overall this type of system works better. I think in the long run this lets more people play the steps because they know there is an exit plan besides the final step and it lets people use the steps as a small satty system for MTT's that may be out of their bank roll.

Also, if you guys notice that a lot of the steps that aren't an exit have lots of tickets sitting around and not being used, you can throw in a tournament at the price point in one of your series every few months.

I hope this all makes sense and I'm not just rambling on but those are my suggestions to the system.

I believe cash is the only option.

If I were to win at the final step of the MEGA sat steps ($540 value) can it be used to play the wsop step 6? Reason I ask is I believe it is wsop step 5 says it awards tickets to wsop 6 OR the MEGA sat. If so does it not make more sense to play the MEGA steps and use them to get to the final wsop step since there is a different buyin at step 1, MEGA steps being lower ($1.10 as compared to $1.65)
