I would actually like to see more 8 max in the schedule, they seem very popular. There should be a low stakes 8 max "major" at peak time, i would also like to see one of the low stakes deepstacks change from 9 handed to 8 handed. I think the knockout mtts could be better also, the $11 750gtd at 6pm uk time always crushes, increase the gtd and it will be popular.
Now having looked at the low stakes series, it would be nice if you could take some of the formats from the series and use in the daily schedule, like the 1r1a 2kgtd, this would be a good addition to the schedule, something we don't currently have.
I agree with the 1 re-entry but I'd rather take that of the gtd dropping and dropping if it did continue to overlay. Obviously I hope thats not the case.
Personally agree with the shift from 9 max to 8 max I think it allows for a much better playing experience. (Party have changed all tournaments to 8 max and MicroGaming offer majority 8 handed and 6 handed tournaments). However it could be argued the 8-8-8 tourneys at 4pm and 7pm are already 8 max "majors". I would too definitely like at least one of the $5 deepstacks to be 8 handed too, and one of the $22 deepstacks as well (the ones around 2-4pm UK time) just to add variety and excitement to the schedule.
Regarding the knockout tournaments I think the listed guarantees in the name need to be changed. For example the one at 6pm has 750 gtd in the title yet the prizepool is actually higher than that - they just exclude the knockout money in the guarantee. Im pretty sure no other poker sites do this. By changing it to the actual whole prize pool guarantee im sure the fact that people now realise the guarantee is bigger will attract more players - in turn growing the tournament. The 6pm one has a "$750 guarantee" but the actual prizepool is $1810. List it as it actually is and the tournament will grow massively.
Regarding other tournaments, the $12 6max-turbo $500 gtd has been slowly dying, which used to be highly popular and had around $1.5k gtd a year ago, This could be chosen as one of the tournaments to rebrand. As well as the $12 $1500 gtd tournaments at 4:45 and 5:15 which are indentical tournaments way too close to eachother. These would be good tournaments to switch up/ rebrand.
Sorry for long rambly post
