If they will introduce suggested $12 flagship at 17:30 GMT it will help to bridge the gap between 8-8-8 tourneys and regular speed stuff will look more or less complete.
The schedule on 888 has always seemed strange to me, they mix in reg speeds and turbo's all throughout the schedule. I still don't understand why there are so many turbo's from 6pm-9pm uk time. This time slot could have way more low stake reg speeds and move the turbo's to a later time. The $12 "Dozen" starts at 8pm uk time while there are 4 turbo mtts between 6-7pm?
Also, the $12 mtt at 17:15 only has 3k starting stacks while almost all other low stakes have 5k, this mtt needs to have 5k starting stacks and possibly change the gtd to 2k and see how it performs.
The 8-8-8 mtts have been a big success but i feel there is just not much to play before the 19:15 mtt starts. I think there is plenty room for new tournaments during the peak time slot and not just replace/change existing ones, would be cool if the rep agreed and we could put some ideas forward for some new tournaments.
One more thing, i suggested the idea to have 3k starting stacks and 6k add on for rebuys, but having noticed the rebuys lately they are overlaying everyday now, maybe this change was a mistake and needs to go back to 2k starting/5k add on.
