The UK client has the same StarsCoins steps VIP program. In fact it was trialed in the UK before rolling out elsewhere. As best as i can make it out it's identical to dot-com? According to the websites, the tiers are identical.

Pretty sure the new VIP program is rolling out globally to all markets. Segregated markets like NJ and IT confirmed; i'd be shocked if UK wasn't switched too.

There are still a whole bunch more without antes from the start.

09:45 $27 1k turbo knockout
10:15 $15 1k turbo deep
10:30 $7 750gtd
11:30 $5 snap 6max
12:15 $4 turbo knockout 400gtd
12:35 $30 1k turbo deep

basically all tournaments that do not have antes at the start still have old structure before 15/30 20/40 30/60 levels were introduced.

Also i have noticed that some rebuy structures are inconsistent, for example,

07:00 $5 r+a 1.5k has 2.5k starting stacks
10:00 $5 r+a 1.5k - 2k starting stacks
11:15 $12 r+a 2k - 3k starting stacks

And still i see some confusion in the lobby whether tournaments are rebuys only? rebuys with add on's? Some tournaments do not even state what they are, some just have a rebuy symbol but also have add on's etc.

Are there any plans to tidy up the lobby? I just see satellites all over the place even when you filter them out. It would be better with a section for satellites only instead of in the main lobby next to everything else.

Added antes in all of the tournaments you've mentioned and fixed the R&A structures to 3k stack and 6k add-on. Thank you!

Regarding the rebuy symbol:

R&A - empty newsbox.
Re-Entry - mentioned in the newsbox (2nd chance rebuys are available...)

not ideal but that is the situation at the moment.

Thanks very much for your quick responses and fixing the issues. Just a couple more things though, i noticed the $5 4kgtd r+a at 4pm uk time has 2k starting stacks, as does the $5 3.5kgtd r+a at 10pm. Could we possibly have 3k startings stacks / 6k add on in these also?

There was some discussion about tweaking the low stakes schedule recently and possibly adding a smaller stakes "major" around peak time like you have with monsoon, swordfish etc, the discussion was a page or two back and would appreciate your thoughts on this?

the early turbo swordfish has been really bowly and would especially on sundays do amazingly well among your midstake offerings as a slower tournament

i for one would rather have an additional well structured timbey than have reentries in the 6max lightnin if you have cannibalization scares but i changed starting times a little bit to avoid having to make changes to the sixmax

how about

14:00 $55 early monsoon $5,000 gtd

15:00 $55 deepstack breeze $5,000 gtd

15:30 $109 ligtning 6max $8,000 gtd

16:00 $30 early turbo swordfish$55 breeze $6,000 gtd

16:45 $55 deepstack monsoon $8,000 gtd


???

17:30 $33 deepstack swordfish $10,000 gtd

18:30 $160 croodile $20,000 gtd

19:00 $33 Swordfish $10,000 gtd

19:30 $55 Monsoon $12,000 gtd

20:30 $XXX challenge $X,000gtd

21:00 $109 Tornado $15,000 gtd


rest as is

pushed times around a litte bit and tried to make the deep and original version be as close to each other as possible

pushed the early deep breeze forward a little to avoid cannibalizing the 6max. long late reg should be fine to be able to enter the deep one when late regging the 6max at around 4-430 i think. i think there certainly can be space for one extra addition in your schedule and if you are insistend on keeping the struggling 30 turbo hen by all means leae it in, the players who like playing it wont suddenly not a the regular palyer pool of that isnt that extenive anyway .

this daily schedule would be amazing. if people want some turbos they have pokerstars to go to imo, your blue mtts are great please push them and their great structures

pretty please

( personally i d love for the croc to become a 109 as at a 160 prizepoint its just very reggy but i can see why you dont wanna do that )

you might also notice a relatively large time window between the current breeze and the current deepstack swordfish. could change sth around there as well.

ov hoping that if implemented this deepstack mtt will get a nice 10k+ guarantee on sundays

^^^ disagree with all of that, there are enough early 55s already. Another would saturate, just grow the current ones.

$22 BI is a bit bare. 5pm UK could be something nice - early evening/light breeze maybe

Yeah, a few more lower stakes ($22 and under) i think would improve the schedule a fair bit. The $12 1.5kgtd at 17:15 uk time should really have 5k starting stacks and 12 minute blinds, even a 50 cent tournament at 5pm has 5k starting stacks lol.

As you might notice I only included 33+ mtts and simply added one on place of a flailing struggling one. This should have zero impact on the 0-27$ schedule which I am in no position to criticize as I never play it.

My point is that there definitely is space for one or more branded additions that could successfully take the place of really not that successful unbranded games. Fewer good mtts are imo much better than many but not that great ones. Somebody playing low stakes feel free to make your suggestions and if they are good they might be implemented as ppl at 888 do listen

Gl y'all in may

I like this suggestion.
You can fill '???' slot with $109 Early Tornado, starting at 17:00.
Maybe move deepstack monsoon to 16:30, to make more space if needed for early tornado.

agree, but i would personally prefer something at 22, 109 or even 215. loads of 30s and 55s already, lets keep it fresh.
