The Swamp on sunday also needs longer late reg (could also be a daily tournament).
2. Continue changing all tournaments to the new structure with earlier antes.
3. Bring back the 109 6max I think it will be a lot more popular with the new structures but possibly make it 2nd chance like the 55 6max to pump up the prize pool.
4. Increase the guarantee of the Mega KO on Sunday and make a "5 seats GTD" satellite to it around 2 hours before it starts, not many people play the the $46 sattys with no gtd.
5. Add in a 55 turbo (both 6max or 9max) similar to the one you tested out into the schedule along with some more midstakes rebuys 22,33,55 etc. possibly add an earlier 11r around 2-3 hours before the one in the evening. You could also increase the guarantee of the main $11r to 10k and it would easily meet it.
6. Change the pretty withered "roller coaster" into a 5r turbo with atleast a 1k prizepool i think you will see it easily go up to 3k.
7. Add in a $109 mtt (branded similar to the daily "highrollers") and $11r just before the breeze where you dont offer many mid stakes mtts.
Thank you for the current changes too all the tournaments are playing a lot better and prizepools are slowly rising <3
-1 to points 1, 2 and 6. Roller Coaster is a great tournament and some of us prefer tournaments with smallish / medium fields. Also ridiculously long late registration creates problems like occasional "tournament going to near bubble during late reg". Also from my POW there is no need for antes in lower levels especially in smaller buy-in tournaments, and I would actually prefer some tournaments with much smaller antes as big antes mean mainly big flips and effectively smaller stacks (by M value).
But I agree that there should be more mid stakes MTTs, especially rebuys. You could also help to soften larger buy-in tournaments by offering us turbo rebuy sats (not 2x chances) with 3-10 seats guaranteed to those "highrollers" and for live events as well. Just label them like "turbo rebuy sats" so those players who loathe 2x chances can find them.
No need to make 888 to look like Stars by making all the changes they make.
