If by schedule you mean structure, and the change is that it's the normal 50k stack structure, that's a pretty useless change and saves maybe 30 minutes of playtime compared to the 100k structure? This is offset by the amount of extra starting stacks in play you're expecting. If you get 5000 people, there'll be 250M chips in play. If I'm optimistic that means it'll be done by 600k/1.2M blinds but it could certainly drag out until 1.25M/2.5M or something. Meaning level 49 (~16 hours including breaks) to level 52 (~17 hours including breaks). I want to play badly, but no thanks.

I think this specific tournament given the large field size just plays best with the old structure of the title fight. 30k chips and somewhat quick. Yes you want to provide play but it's impossible to achieve in a single day tournament. So if u re adamant on having that then just take the old Sunday million structure form stars. It works.

Removing tournaments to have less clutter the in lobby is all well and good, but at least for me it's a much bigger problem that the filters almost don't let you filter anything out. It's so extreme that it's to the point where I think that maybe i'm overlooking a customization menu somewhere or running the wrong version of the software.

- I can't filter out plo
- I can't filter out live sats, or sats at all. When trying to find normal tournaments they are drowning out in Powerfest sats, Las Vegas Feeders, Caribbean Poker Party, regular ticket sats etc. The color coding doesn't help much because every different kind of sat has it's own color.
- I almost missed the big $215 last Sunday brecause I had to turn high off in the BI range because there are so many 530+ sats and $2600 tournaments that i'm terrified of misclick registering for.
- Trying to look for $11 dollar tournaments in the low filter adds so many tournaments under a dollar that I had to give up there too. I think a more reasonable way to split up stakes is by adding a micro and a super HS filter.

+1 for the other points.

So you changed the 5k phase to tomorrow from freezeout to re-entry which is completely unacceptable imo. Here is a screenshot from the lobby earlier this week where its still a freezout: https://gyazo.com/94ec8f0cf86d19ba4a46a07c15211164

It is obv very unfair to anyone who played a phase 1 and qualified that an event that they thought would be freeze out will be re-entry. Some people might not have played phase 1 at all if the knew the target event would be re-entry. It seems likely the same thing happened in the 1k although I don't have a screenshot to prove it.

I told all of this to pads as well but wanted to post here to so people are aware. Hope you will change this back to freeze out, which is the only reasonable option here imo.

Or, you know, make it completely customizable 10 years ago. If you think about it like this: in 2007 the iphone came out. Ten years and lots of technological leaps later this website where people play for tons of money still has many software components that feel like it's 2003. It's genuinely mindblowing to me. To be fair, only winamax and pokerstars out of all websites I've played on have software that is decent for this decade, but still. Hoping the software upgrades that are being hinted will be massive improvements to put party closer to aforementioned sites in terms of software.

You can click only "power series" if you don't care about sattelites, it'll show powerfest too and leave all the 0.01$ tournies out.

Looks like they aren't going to hit the gtd so they snuck in the re-entry hoping nobody would notice.

If the 1st ticket is used for the target event - multiple tickets will be exchanged for T$ post series as we have done for previous powerfests
Do we have to request the tickets to be converted to T$ or will this be done automatically? How will I have proof that I had the tickets if they expire on the 22nd? I have 6 of them
05-14-2017 , 02:46 AM
Yeah, concerning 5k$ I already mentioned it too.

Thought i was the worst decision to run three 5ks in 1 series. two on the same sunday? Prepare for overlay. I wouldve gone with 1 huge 5k and run phases prior to Powerfest and during this 2 weeks. That wouldve made me play bunch of phases or BI directly/re-enter. Because i wouldve been a good tournament. Now i see 2 5ks on the same sunday. One has better structure and one is a tiny bit softer pbb. Both bad 5ks in the end. Might not even be bothered to play now. Enough good other stuff to play.
05-14-2017 , 09:52 AM
Is it possible/allowed to register mtt from Bwin when you already busted same mtt at Party?

Have many tickets at both sites, have to be sure I wont do anything against the rules.
05-14-2017 , 10:18 AM
you need to not allow (or at least give some pop up notification) people to be able to register a phase they already qualified for
05-14-2017 , 10:35 AM
Why can't I register the 215$ phase 2 with my 215$ ticket today, but I can next week?
05-14-2017 , 10:44 AM
What happens if I advance in two phase 1s with different stacks?
05-14-2017 , 11:03 AM
Can someone reassure me if I win a bunch of 215$ tickets but don't want to play the 20:00 1M thing I won't just lose them? I wanna play these but I'm worried they'll be useless tickets.

If someone does, don't believe them unless it's Colette. She quite clearly stated that tickets are converted IF 1st one won is used for target event. If not, they're wasted.
05-14-2017 , 01:23 PM
Colette, Party needs special tournaments from time to time (during special anniversaries, holidays etc).
Something like a 500-1000usd tournament with 1 million usd for the winner.

It could be a phase tournament, so that would help to collect a bigger prize pool. Such tournaments would attract many players and that is something you currently are not offers.

Chers.

But they're generic tickets to any of the 1Ms, there is no specific target event...

I guess I'm going to spam this thread the upcoming week to request a change to the absurd structure of the 215...
05-14-2017 , 02:16 PM
Wow did not realise it autoregs me to todays 1M tourney. It is specified nowhere that it does so and I wanna go to sleep at 3am. In the grand scheme of things you have a ****ing amazing tournament and somehow I'm extremely tilted because every detail is wrong/confusing. I still have no idea whether my other 215 ticket will dissolve into T$ after powerfest now or whether I need more and have to use that one for next weeks, etc etc.

As said before, if me and other people posting here have no idea wtf is going on, how the hell is a casual guy supposed to? I'm willing to bet at least half the people registering these 215s have no idea of the tournament length and are going to end up super frustrated if they're ever (un)lucky enough to make it deep.

Yeah I had the same thing happen. Was confused why the table popped up all of a sudden. Please put hyperlinks to targets if it's not a generic sat like I was under the impression that it was.
05-14-2017 , 03:24 PM
Yeah that autoreg is super annoying. Especially now that there's like 4+ hours of late reg, have to always remember check and unreg if it does that. Even worse if it regs to a tournament that already started. And surely lots of recs lose their tickets because they don't know that ticket automatically regs to some tournament.

No more forced regs please. Let us decide when we want to register target tournament, even if we have to play it.

I think so, these are two different poker rooms that only share some of the events.

works differently than stars, u can qualify multiple times in phase1. agree that a warning popup indicating u have already qualified would be better

Anyone else encountering strange tournament lobby problems? Occasionally lobby jumps ahead few levels, while tournament runs like normal. Like in one satellite now lobby showed 5k/10k level while tournament actually was playing 1,5k/3k. Rather confusing, have happened sometimes before too.
