Yes I was just thinking of 30 points for 109s. Maybe 40 points for all non-itm finishes (109s) would work better, like you suggest

The current system is a bit silly where players are somewhat incentivised to max late reg, just needs a bit of a tweak

I see your point about late reg, but there's major secondary reason for max late reg and it is to keep playing condition up. With first tournament starting at 10:00 CET and last one 2:00 CET with 2-3 hours of late registration at least I won't be able to play 18+ hours in a row without major loss of concentration. Maybe there's more capable grinders around to do that though, 16 hours seems to be my breaking point

Might very well help with stalling part + promote better play + earlier registration at least for PSKOs.

+1 and add some 8fo 10fo maybe some 3r 4r deepstacks?

and a search bar for the lobby

I will never know how players can play 8+ tables for 12 hours a day on a consistent basis and not suffer some mental burnout.
5 tables for 7 hours for 3 days and I am jaded.
But then I suppose many gamers play far longer than even this.
at 28 years of age i suppose I am considered "over the hill" in the online poker world

That may be, but changing a $50 to $100 is a pretty big deal, especially to someone who is practicing good bankroll management. I don't play at $100 because I'm not bankrolled for it.

Of course a lot of people who aren't bankrolled for $100 play at that level anyway, but that's a discussion for another time.

MTT Leaderboard promo:

How is it possible for a deal to be made where the person awarded first place wins $1,410 and second place $1,696.

So the person receiving the least money has received first place leaderboard points.

This has just happened in the $109 Kangaroo.

Is this collusion or cheating?

You've been playing poker since 2004 and you don't know how deals work? It seems that the deal was made when player A had more chips than player B but player B went ahead and won the tourney in the end

Dearman2, Abraham Lincoln has some advice for you -

It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

The player in question has clearly angled the Leaderboard promo.

I'm hoping Party will look at the chat transcripts from the heads up.

Yeah, also when you make a deal guy with most chips automatically wins

Only if players don't leave any money to pot. There's an option to leave portion of prize pool to winner and then tournament resumes. Also it's not possible to make a deal where 1st place in chips gets more than 2nd place in chips (we tried this once with about even stacks).

So will you tell us what actually happened heads up in the Kangaroo today?

Do you think it's ok to give your opponent a good deal when you are second in chips and ask him to sitout/ chipdump to you after deal so you win first place leaderboard points?

I have nothing to say against your false accusations, and I don't even know who you are. But we chopped 2 left about all of the prize pool when he was about 2:1 lead as he requested for a deal and played to the end. Of course I wasn't willingly to fold to 2nd place without a fight. End of case for me.

About the real misusage of the deal system, is there any time limit for deals to be finished? I saw two leaderboard players spending lots of time during highroller heads-up deal window open while waiting what happens on other tournament where both players were playing with a chance to strike at leaderboard and when one busted he made a deal that made him finish 2nd for 400$ or so extra. Didn't bring it up as it didn't change outcome that day, but you really should limit deal making like to 10 minutes.

Oh ok, my bad. Didnt know this was possible too.

not sure if its just a poor try to distract, but in your example was no misuse. The deal window was open for maybe about a minute, before the other player busted (as the 2nd player said he didn´t want a deal, because he still has chances for lb). Then normal game resumed and after the player busted there was a deal which took slightly longer, because submitting didn´t worked (you may have seen in chat), but still didn´t took longer than 10 minutes lol
Better observe right next time

And if you really requested the other player to sitout or chipdump to you after deal like mystic said, it would obv be against the rules.
(Don´t know if that happend, as I haven´t observed)

Mmm might be that I didn't look it long enough time, was playing my own tables as well at that time. But I wasn't asking them to change anything @results and didn't mention people involved, just wanted to bring this up that Party_Rep and pads can check it out and put some kind of time limit for deals if there's not to avoid such possibilities. That evening was so tired after long night grind that didn't remember to bring it up earlier.

Anyways, just finished grinding second long session in a row. Have a great time grinding for next few days, I will spend rest of the week celebrating Midsummer Fest. I'll be back next week, beware!

hey party, good work in listening to the players and trying to improve the phases MTTs are great, the 11 brawl and 55 brawl also great, there is a huge gap in these buy ins tho, and your shed is littered with $22 and $5.50 mtts that would be a must play due to the times they are at but they are skipped by everyone almost cos there such small guarantees, idk if they are aimed at a certain player, but your goal is to generate rake? and no one NO ONE wants to play for 500 bucks in a 22$ mtt for EG

the $22 4k at 1600 UK time would get huge if you put a $10k gurantee on it and make it the early brawl it would pillage, and your $22 6m turbo $1.5k at 1830 if u made that $5k guarantee it would also be popular, IMO if you listen to a few regs and some recs and fill in the gaps in the schedule for the 55 and below demographic then most of us could play alot less tables elsewere and alot more on your site, at the momment i can only play 4 mtts a day on party and 2 of them are usualy phase attempts we dont all have $530 for the daily HS you offer however every singe reg from all stakes would play these mtts, anything that qualifies for a tripple crown from P5s is popular lol

over 100 runners 10k prizepool or more MAKE IT GREAT AND WE WILL FLOCk

Damn lost out on 2 1k packages now because my client was 100s of points off on learderboard scores. Really annoying.

Does anyone know if tournaments that end after 10am ET count even though the leaderboard has already reset by then?

That was exactly my case in Medium version of Leaderboard. I played two 24h sessions and I was going (more likely crowling :-)) into bed with assumption that I won first 1k prize. Later when i woke up I find out that I ended up in second place. I was trying to reach a support, send a screenshot where I was 700 points ahead and there was no more tournaments where to gain points. However I didnt received a reply yet and probably never will. So I gave it up and rather enjoying summer :-)

Here is what I think that happened. There are two leaderboard rankings (one in the client and one on website). The website rankings is counting tournaments that starts from 10:00 CET to 10:00 CET, however it is not updated immediately and takes a few hours. The client rankings counts the points at time when you bust out the tournament.

For example if you are playing Monday leaderboard and you will register $22 tournament at 9:00 CET in the morning and you bust that tournament at 10:35 CET. The points are added to Tuesday leaderboard in client immediately and also to Monday leaderboard on website a few hours later. Website ranking is one that matters for giving prizes. That is of course super confusing and as I can see it wasnt repaired yet. So GL in these if you give it another try

That is just ridiculous like. Double-entry points for certain tournaments- it was the only explanation for how I lost because I was winning according to my client.

This system gives extra incentive for 2 players to one account. There have been a number of cases where players have put up over 3000 points back to back and it's obvious what's going on.

I actually did suspect the double-entry glitch - has to be a mistake. Wonder what party does now with previous winners. The leaderboard resets at 9.59 ET so any person would reasonably assume that no more points can go up.

Well, it is not that one tournament is counted twice to leaderboard points. It is more about that client leaderboard rankings is useless for medium version (high version is fine, because first tournament starts at 10:00 and last tournament starts at 2:00). You have to follow website rankings which is pretty hard becasuse of late updates. But those are only my assumptions, could be a totally different mistake. Anyway, just doesnt worth the effort with this conditions.

Back to back win in these with 3000 points is impossible unless you are going to mix a really strong Bombay energy drink :-). Party should probably change the time for medium leaderboard (and probably also for the low one) from 10:00 CET to 2:00 CET or something. 24h leaderboard is crazy and also contraproductive from party point of view. There would be certainly a medium stakes grinders to play more days in a row if the time range would be more reasonable.

Agreed that 24h is crazy. Was onto customer support and the person claimed that the leaderboard is updated MANUALLY so that's why the scores can be off for both the website and the client itself. Had no idea that was the case - it's possible the scores are updated well after the day finishes.

A 24 hour leaderboard is just dumb regardless.

This 100% only benefits pro's/teams of pros whom share accounts.
This 100% gives no recreational a chance in hell of ever winning anything.
This 100% is not sustainable.
Anyone that thinks Party is doing a great job with this promo isn't considering that soon enough CEO/Shareholders are going to start asking questions why giving away 1.3 million strictly to pros didn't manage to bring in many recreational players. At that point this management team will either do a full fledged Amaya or it will be fired.

How does Party offset these new expenditures that go 100% to the pro?

1) Take Party points from naïve players that didn't get the memo that their points were soon worth nothing.

2) Offer 0% rb to the truly casual player.

3) Put expiries on tickets that recreational players are 5:1 more likely to get screwed on rather than a pro.

When you couple these changes above with the lax security when it comes to illegal software/bots it's harder for the recreational (the lifeblood of poker) than ever to compete.

Balance is needed.

As always feedback is welcome

Good luck at the tables

I think for a weekly low and medium version a much flatter payout structure would be good. The tournaments running 24h at those stakes, which will mislead poeple to share their accounts, because it is impossible to play every tounament of the week.
Second reason is, that it would be just brutal after a one week grind for the 2nd place, if it will be close.

In my opinion it would be much better to exchange the 10k package at lowstakes to 10x 1k ticket for example.

Other soultion for low and medium would be to split it into two 12h "day" and "night" leaderboard versions (with lower prices then obv).
