Maybe introduce "T$ builder tournaments" as exit points for steps to revive them...

Move the beginning of $30 hyper-turbo sattelites to super tuesday , some $56 hypers to monday plo past the break. Some of them begins when the break starts or during the break.

Thoughts on having deadline satellites for weekly $215s?

I know there are existing $11+Rs that run. Would you consider removing the one with the latest start time and changing it into an $82 where more than 1/3 field is paid?

With this, you can then also do satellites to the deadlines as well. Sounds good to me, but not sure how practical it will be when tournaments aren't as marketed like TCOOP/WCOOP/SCOOP ones are.

Are you referring to the break in the satellite(s)?

No, there is no GBP Steps system at this time.

Very interested in this... I expect it's likely in the relatively near future.

Nope. I'm referring to the start of these. Not sure how many or exact time (not shown in the loby yet) but some of those hypers starts at .55, maybe some .56 etc.
When the break starts some of them pops up, some begins during the break and you have to pretty much spend whole/part of the break b/c of one satellite. They take very small amount of time so like 5min move in one or the other way shouldn't change much imo

Im just going to try once more in the 2013 thread (yay);
Wouldnt it be great to have a daily sat into one of the upcoming EPTs that show up in the tournament lobby ? They are currently located in the Events tab and I think by placing one every day at peak time in the tournament lobby people would be easier tricked/triggered to go to the Events tab or just play that sat OR check out what tourneys sat into it which are again under the Event tab or through the originals sat's lobby. Just showing one will act as an 'ad' to go find other ones imho, eager to hear your thoughts on this, thanks.

bryan/everyone:

what are your thoughts on KO and/or super KO satellites?

the shootout played quickly today, and i think this could add some fun to the end game of satellites which is really drawn out

I'm usually loath to be driven to profanity but gosh the rake on feeezeout turbo satellites is a bit too high. They don't last very long and you are double dipping on rake in many cases.

If mtts that are high bi, have tough fields and very high variance dont get any sats then I'm not sure what sats are for. Could trial a $3.3 3x turbo sat to the 14:45 215 and see what the demand would be.

Does that mean that we have to wait up until EPT berlin to re use the steps ?
Is there a reason for that ? (just curious)

There are $74 hyper-turbo sats to the Weekly Turbo?

These are full of stt hyper sharks, if I wanted to lose money playing hypers I can play the non sat hypers. I think mtt regs rarely would want to mix in stts in their sessions so larger field sats should be offered as well. I'm sure there are loads of recreational players who'd also want mtt type sats. Larger fields allows the bi for the sat to be a lot less than $74 which is out of the price range for a lot of recs and regs.

Why do you stop all satellites once Warm up and Million start? Sure plenty of casual players would love to satellite in if they cannot get to computer before the event starts.

If you're talking about hypers then they do run for a while after the MTT starts, maybe 15 minutes or so? There are always other tournaments people can play a $74 sat for then take the T$ and use them to enter the million/warm-up
