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.

Which time is relevant to get points inside that timeframe? The time the tournament starts or the time when you finish?
Should be for all tournaments starting inside the timeframe from 10am to 9.59am the next day, right?

Thanks in advance Colette!
Not Colette, but if nothing has changed then tournament starting time is what matters. So tournaments starting @ 10.00 CET Monday until @9.59 CET Tuesday goes on Monday on this promotion.

CEST = Central European Summer Time (for most people that's same as CET as most areas change their clocks to Summer Time, but not for those which does not like Russia).

As I played the leaderboard on wednesday (old system = only points for in the money finishes) around 11am CET (= CEST) there were already players listed in the med leaderboard with points, which should have been impossible (10am 22$ MTT & 10.30am 6Max MTT have been both in the startphase and far away from the money), so the points had to come from a tournament which have started before 10am that given day..

And one other thing I have recognized @Colette @Patrick

Is it on purpose that the postflop timebank for the 109$ Semi Finals of the Caribbean & Las Vegas Poker Party Satellites are reduced to 15 seconds (maybe even 10 in the beginning)?

Feels like they could still be configured like the early powerfest tournaments..
At least 20 seconds should we players get for a 109$ Buy-In SAT/MTT and complex postflop decisions or the endgame of the semi finals..
Timed out and checked/fold quite a lot postflop because of it multitabling :/

Thanks in advance!

As Colette said earlier they changed points system, probably because earlier one resulted usually that 1st in leaderboard was player who won largest daily tournament (Jab, Contender, Uppercut especially). Just my speculation for reason.

Could there be additional satellite to Caribbean, for instance in Thursday? I would like to keep occasionally Sunday free, but only 1050$ satellite is then. Just asking for some basic 1050$ with 1 or 2 seats guaranteed with some 109$ regular satellites (not phases) for those who have extra tickets and/or can't always play in Sundays.

Please bring the back turbo rebuys throughout the day 5s, 10s, 20s. Esp the 10k daily major in the evenings its a big loss to the schedule. The 5r turbo satelites for 109 tickets were also quiet popular. Could we see these introduced again?

Someone got lucky @ tournament of champions with table full of off-liners. Too bad not me.

These "tournament winner freerolls" always seems to have same problem. Especially if it has lots of players, slow structure and really just one prize.

Whats the prize?
05-28-2017 , 02:28 PM
Just played 215$ Multiphase. I has 280 itm on 446 entries?
I busted from my POV very early and i got a pop-up i cashed for 103$ lol.

Is this the new pay-out because a lot of people satted in for 20$ and its a nice cash for them or is this a mistake?

Can you please strongly consider to revert it back for ITM finishes only points?

It is really hard to enjoy the game (specially in smaller fields MTTs with 5k gtd) when every second player is timing and late regging tourneys for 10bb in last minute.

Maybe the best way to do it would be give some small constant amount of points to all non-ITM positions. It will reduce timing, leaderboard players will be playing max volume and it will also reduce a big advantage for Uppercut winner in leaderboard.

Great suggestion. The minimum number of points (30) for every non-ITM finish would be an excellent solution.

Some bwin tournaments just got cancelled? I assume players will be refunded?
05-30-2017 , 08:10 AM
please make the low stakes mtts 10/12 minute levels, 10 minutes throughout is still a little too quick imo.
05-30-2017 , 09:24 AM
Collette,

Can we please get some more $11 Freezeouts so I can finally ditch Pokerstars. It has been mention before, but the gap is too big between 5 and 22, plus everything is looking like a PKO? Don't shoot yourselves in the foot like Stars.

Seems like you guys have a great opportunity here, but we need to start from the bottom up. No new player is gonna make a deposit, and start firing 109's, 500's and 1k's lol. Thanks for actually listening to your customers
05-30-2017 , 09:34 AM
"Connection lost", reboot software and get a pop-up about "software upgrade in progress, please wait for 15 mins". Sigh, problems for whole day and fb/twitter: no info like always.

Games come back, it's a bit annoying to have this kind of bugs too (click it and it actually register opens register dialog although I am already playing, can't get rid of it by closing and opening table again):

It was not a planned update but an emergency patch which was unavoidable
Sorry
I agree with your feedback and I do try inform all of any planned maintenance with minimum 12 hours notice

I dont think we will run an additional sat at this stage possibly later in the yea nearer the event dates however with the summer season upon us I dont think its an optimal time to add additional qualifiers


Other feedback regarding the offerings etc has been noted

Is this the same thing like that "Diamond Club" just renamed or is this something else?

+1. There's also another 109 PSKO that starts just 1 hour before. 3 109 PSKOs starting 1 hour apart each other is just too many. They're cannibalizing each other.

Hey,

Powerfest was nice and I like the new VIP program. Wondering how it's going with the Tournament schedule. I have some suggestions for the midstakes - hs schedule.

In addition to the super obvious weigh in change to a non psko (eventually a 6max) and undo making the uppercut a psko on friday and a +1 to adding a early big brawl and contender.

Move the Counterpunch to 1900 and eventually add a 215 vanilla to the 1900 time slot. There is no midstakes+ vanilla at the 1900cet slot and there are already a lot at 2000.

I see the Eliminator struggling quite a bit, growing the name might be benificial, therefor I think it's nice to substitute the brawl 2 for a mini Eliminator on 2100 and change Balboas name to the turbo Eliminator. I think all the 'II' editions are nice but imo the tournaments in peak shouldn't be II. I think people are more attracted to playing a major tournament compared to a II then. (I see a mini edition as a major as well).
