So lame that I ll miss my fav promo on the site..... Any chance to make ko week a regular thing?

Will guarantees be reduced on all Mondays luke? I assume its because of post sunday but it seems a little excessive on some of the tournaments (8r, 8 cubed and 13.50 ko for ex)

Also huge +1 to KO week. It looks bloody fantastic!

Knockout week looks really fun

Interesting idea which .fr implemented for their sunday special - "If previous gtd is reached, we increase it next week up until the point where it stops".

Seems great system to ensure that gtds are not some numbers chosen by Luke or someone else, but rather something that is a result of actual demand for particular tournaments.

Obviusly for smaller fields, increases steps could be as low as $250/week or $500/week with bigger numbers for larger fields.

Though not sure how easy it would be to implement such system.

really wish you could give more than 1 week notice for these promo weeks
10-05-2015 , 12:14 PM
No kidding, gotta push back my flight a week
10-05-2015 , 12:27 PM
sad to see almost half of the events turbo @ ko week
10-05-2015 , 12:31 PM
Great addition Luke.
+1 Promo Week once a month
10-05-2015 , 12:41 PM
Looking forward to KO week!!

I don't know if it is a mistake or not but there is a special edition of Saterday SKO but the regular one is also in the client

yeah +1

You should rather keep the first events of the day nonturbo, like why would you make the first Event 55$ starting on a monday 17 CET a turbo?
Most regs/recs will have played on sunday and prlly wont start session (if at all) not before 18/19 CET.
I d at least suggest to make that tourney variable blind levels and add more late reg time.
Rather turn the late events like #04 in a turbo.
I agree that 16/35 events being turbo is too much, reduce the number to a reasonable 12-13, so that the turbos make up around 1/3 of the schedule.

Generally a really good promo though
I wish you could improve the structure for the thrill/main event of the KO week.
Both events dont seem to differ much from the other event-structures but I feel like they are special as the series "highroller" and the "main" event usually are
events that get alot of people exited.
Make it 7500 start instead of 5000 startstack, or use a different structure. I d love to see a variable time level for main/thrill for late blind levels like level 30+, not sure if that is possible though

20% rake turbos... I'm not really that excited about this promo :/
10-05-2015 , 01:14 PM
Are there any satellites into the Common Cents Kick-Off? I can't seem to find any.
10-05-2015 , 01:16 PM
I mean,

There isn't a single full ring regular speed game added to the KO Week schedule. Every game is either Turbo, Variable Speed Turbo, or 6max... sucks.
10-05-2015 , 01:29 PM
I don't see the $22 6max pko on that starts just before the Big 11 on the schedule today? Seemed like a tournament that always surpasses the gtd and is pretty popular...


NVM I found it; just showed up in a different place because it has tickets to ko week added.

Yeah this is so sick cant stress it often enough.

The $109s are 50+50+9

why do we need to pay 18% rake on this format?
Under what justification have you decided for this exact rake amount?
10-05-2015 , 01:48 PM
You mean non progressive super KOs are raked like that? Or progressive ones only
10-05-2015 , 01:48 PM
tourney id 1336933656, it gives away tickets to main event of Ko-week thats probably why your filter couldnot find it
ok too late

KO-week looks nice

All KO MTTs which give tickets are now, for some of us, hidden from the main Lobby cause we have some filters activated. Please do something about it cause many will not find the tournies.
