There will come a day when the lobby looks like a rainbow with 0 "regular" games, I don't doubt the only reason "blue" games got introduced was because there was too much red in the lobby already. I mean there are already multiple bigs and hots at the $22 and $27 buyin levels in a day at different time slots.

Even if they are re-entry add some full ring turbos.

is this payout a joke?

Yes. Yes it is.

Spot on.

yep....pretty much

Imo 2hr+ late reg should only exist for major tourneys where the prizepool are bigger. Non special tourneys shouldn't be having this long late reg, at max they should have 80 mins late reg. I hope Luke takes this feedback seriously.

Hey, nice suggestion. I don't see any micro PLO or PLO8 from 12:35 to 19:05 ET. There's several $11, but nothing smaller. What buy-in do you think would do best? $3.30? Any additions in this game/buy-in combination will likely be re-entry. I haven't seen anything aside from a couple complaints here that indicates re-entry is hurting the non-NLHE games.

I do plan to use the functionality in most, if not all, tournaments on the regular schedule. I think it is good for the game if the pressure of playing a final table is heightened with longer levels. This may just mean 4 minutes in a hyper-turbo, 6 in a turbo, and so on, but it will make a big difference in the playing experience.

For Bigs, what about 20 minute levels at the FT for $44+, and 15 minutes for all stakes up to $33? I could advertise this via a lobby flyer in order to give the Bigs a bit of a boost as well...

Feedback?

I'm sorry you're disappointed with the timeline. I'll communicate this feedback to my colleagues. As a result of feedback here, we've put up the MicroMillions tab so that players know it is coming. For now, it is only populated with the main event.

No, but we'll be offering puzzles and a "Last Man Standing" prize of $1,000 for the player/s who cashes the most days in a row during the series.

If you think the current micro schedule is lacking, please make suggestions! I have added multiple tournaments since the new schedule was released purely with micro players in mind. There have already been several detailed posts outlining gaps in the schedule. I plan to address them after receiving additional feedback.

Certain time slots (early and late for Europe) have more re-entry than before, but overall the series is a healthy mix of popular formats.

I haven't created a lobby flyer (the space between your filters/tabs and the list of tournaments) for next week yet. Any ideas on the content? I could:

• Highlight a specific brand (not Omania, Bounty Builders, or $10K Payday)
• Highlight the new functionality and tournaments it is being tested in
• Create a more generic flyer with an interesting stat such as X $100K+ guarantees, $Y guaranteed on Sunday, etc.
• Highlight the majors each day. "Monday's Events", and so on.

July 17th.

The amount of time that MicroMillions is our lead promotion is a separate concern from the number of micro-stakes tournaments in the main schedule. I believe the new schedule offers more excitement for micro-stakes players looking for big prize pools, but I'm happy to continue to receive feedback and tweak the schedule. Additionally, the MicroMillions tab is now live in the client.

The overall series guarantee is lower than before, but the average buy-in is lower as well. There is no Sunday Storm SE in this MicroMillions, which typically contributed $600K to that number.

I agree that it might be too late for Monday and Wednesday specifically. What about changing starting times from 14:00/15:00/16:00 ET to 14:00/14:30/15:00 ET? I'd rather not start them all at once and I do want the focus on the two higher buy-in tournaments. Would that make a big enough difference overall?

They'll all change beginning Monday.

Well, Omania guarantees have gone up, so surely you're not talking about those.

Guarantees have been dropping across the whole schedule, not just Omaha games. It is due to seasonality/Euros and the trend will hopefully reverse in the next few weeks!

Thanks for this post. It is very helpful! It is intentional that there is extra Bigs/Hots/Bounty Builders at micro-stakes during peak time. Are you saying that you prefer more red tournaments, or that the later ET time period just needs filled out with more regular speed, non-special tournaments?

As far as re-entry goes, it is listed in four different places within the client for each tournament. This isn't some underhanded scheme, but is only a matter of deciding how much information is listed in each tournament name. It is no different from shortening Progressive Super-Knockout to Progressive KO. Players will become used to finding re-entry in various places.

As far as the Omaha suggestions go, I'd rather let Omania breathe a bit before rearranging the schedule. I understand your point that the $55s are a bit far apart, but they both have a solid following in their respective time slots considering it is in the middle of summer. Would moving the $55 up to ~17:15 or so make a difference, or is that still too late?

The Guarantee Boost tag is simply a visual signal that means the guarantee was increased recently. It is the time of the year where we are safest on guarantees. Guarantees cannot be aggressively raised since prize pools are still suffering from the seasonal downturn. In the coming weeks and months, many of these tags will hopefully seem more meaningful to you.

The number of red tournaments was increased significantly in the new schedule. The blue majors were introduced so that a new tier of tournaments could be highlighted. The Sunday Million should be different from the Big $1.10. For what it's worth, people on this forum were practically begging for us to use the same buy-in multiple times within a brand.

Anyways, I suppose this is sort of a moot point since KOmania is both blue and red.

When? What stakes? What is missing?

Haha so much for the 'he wont respond anyway' crybabys

Are you for real?

Nice to see some feedback here again.

Sounds good, but make sure to add another increase before the FT - like at 27 or so. Basically, the Sunday Marathon structure is really really good, I wish more MTTs (majors or bigs or whatever) could get that structure implemented.

Luke, you can add $3.30 PLO at 19:05 CET (13:05 ET) and $2.20 PLO8 at 23:05 CET (17:05 ET), one of them 9-max please. Also you can add some KOmania tournaments for micro and low stakes at saturday or sunday.

About blue tournaments: Would be great if you make half of them (at low stakes) a bit earlier. I mean those MTTs which is starting at 02:00 CET (20:00 ET). It's too late for EU players. And those MTTs, starting at 12:00 CET (06:00 ET) are too early. If possible, make half of them at least 23:00 CET (17:00 ET) or those who is starting to earlier, make them 19:00 CET (13:00 ET). We want play those $11 blue MTTs but we really can't. It's too early or too late at low stakes for EU players.
You can make it as follows:
Monday: $11 Mini Monday 6-Max [Early Edition] 12:00 CET (06:00 ET)
$11 Mini Monday 6-Max [Late Edition] 23:00 CET (17:00 ET)
Wednesday: $11 Mini Battle Royale [Early Edition] 12:00 CET (06:00 ET)
$11 Mini Battle Royale [Late Edition] 23:00 CET (17:00 ET)
Saturday: $11 Mini Saturday KO [Early Edition] 12:00 CET (06:00 ET)
$11 Mini Saturday KO [Late Edition] 23:00 CET (17:00 ET)
Or change early editions instead of late and make them 19:00 CET (13:00 ET)
About sunday: There is 4 good blue MTTs which starting too early or too late:
$11 Mini Sunday Starter 12:00 CET (06:00 ET)
$11 Mini Sunday Kickoff 15:00 CET (09:00 ET)
$5.50 Mini Sunday Stack 23:45 CET (17:45 ET)
$11 Mini Sunday Wrap-Up 02:00 CET (20:00 ET)
As you can see it's too early or too late for EU players who starting their session at 18:00-19:00 CET (12:00-13:00 ET), so please make some changes. Make at least half of them to start between 19:00-23:00 CET (13:00-17:00 ET)

Same with the few MTTs of medium stakes: $22 Mini Super Tuesday [Early Edition], $33 Mini Super Tuesday [Late Edition]
$22 Mini Thursday Thrill [Early Edition], $33 Mini Thursday Thrill [Late Edition]

High stakes looks good enough.

Micro stakes is lack of MTTs of course and I have a suggestions. Add some blue MTTs at sunday and make it something like $4.40 Mini Million starting at 21:00 CET (15:00 ET). Add something like $3.30 or $2.20 Sunday Battle PKO starting at 20:30 CET (14:30 ET).
Also you can change starting time at $3.30 Saturday Micro (14:00 CET (08:00 ET) is too early) and $3.30 Sunday 6-Max (16:15 CET (10:15 ET) is too early).

P.S.: $44 Sunday Marathon starting too early, $22 Mini Saturday Scuffle starting a bit late and $27 Saturday Eliminator starting a bit early. But the main thing is of course those tournaments, which I wrote above.

Luke pls just put re-entry in the title of the tournament. It is confusing because I have to constantly check in the structure tab just to verify. I know it's not underhanded but it may come off that way to some players. Pls make it more clear in the title. Thanks

yes I agree, please put "[Re-entry]" in the title

20 min for FTs sounds great but cud possibly be a be too deep when it gets short handed would it be possible to decrease the levels maybe by HU or 3handed

This is a major problem and we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. As more and more players leave Pstars the problem will accelerate. The problem is gimmicks that try to bring artificial excitement and benefit but in reality offer neither. Yet these gimmicks and slight of hands will accelerate even though players are leaving due to them.

Analogy- Restaurant is full $1 coffee, becomes half full so $2 coffee, WTF it's now empty.

Full Tilt ruined themselves with this approach. Both with the gimmicks and the fake valued promotions. Once fooled by the true lack of value a recreational player discounts all future offerings as having no value and overtime won't even bother reading the tos of them. So good promos become ignored due to the bad ones.

The MTT lobby looking like a rainbow is the concept that FullTilt used when they got really desperate and started the crazy gimmicks right after BF.

So, the problem here is these are supposed to be very early - for Asia and Australia - or very late - for Brazil, Canada and insomniac Euros. It's not a mistake; it's designed that way!

But I can see how these tournaments are really attractive to players at the $11 buyin level. What if there were more micro versions during European peak hours for you and your stake level?

For example, what if we had $11 Micro Super Tuesday and $11 Micro Thursday Thrill running at 19:00 CET (13:00 ET)? These don't exist and could help fill what seems to be a need.

So with the rake changes is that it for 1r 1as? I used to love the 11 or 5 cubes but I know the format lost popularity when rebuys were raked

Please make sth for the late reg. 2h20 is just too much. For majors it's ok, but not every tourney.
Lot of people don't play because it's basically just take 4hrs to win a min cash. 90 mins is more than enough

it is basically impossible to grind 6+ MTTs on ps with gtg+ 30k if you don't play ko mtt... this is so much BS...

you need to understand that people just reg because there is a gtg, and they can play for a big prize...if the gtg is low, they just dont reg

i dont want slower final tables when im playing for less money than i should be with these **** payouts

+1

I did notice in the MTT filter that, there is a box to tick in order to hide re-entry tourneys (which I have personally done) but, do agree it should be more visable and easier to determine what MTT is what in terms of it's structure.

pls bring back some 9max 27 turbo psko !!! like from old schedule....

Hi, I think that old time slot for big 109 would be way more succesfull than current one. Consider it, please.
