That can work too.. I'm just trying to find/suggest some kind of compromise that makes Saturdays playable again.. Luke seems set on pushing forward with 100% Total KO so I though suggesting changing the bounty builders back to 50% could be a good compromise..

It's basically how cash rewards are given out in Belgium to circumvent a national law/rule.

Perhaps it could be as simple as just changing the day that they take place on. Move them to a less busy day and use it as an opportunity to increase player/rec numbers logging in on that day, which would in turn free up Saturdays for a new and improved schedule that 'regs' would want to log-in for again.

I am not a fan of PSKO but I play them some times, but I was wondering why there is absolutely no Progressive KO that is less than 50%. I think a 25/75 - 15/85 could work well while still giving enough ROI in comparison to a PSKO

This could work. Currently Wednesdays major series is the "Battle Royale" 50% PKO. How about making these Wednesday tournaments 100% Total KO if you must insist on continuing forward with this format. Then reduce Bounty Builders to 50% on Saturday and introduce an entirely new Saturday major series.

I like that idea. The title 'battle royal' also fits well with 100% Total KO's IMO.

Omg, please, no.

Its better having this 100% Total KO bs on a Weds rather than a Sat no? I mean obviously in an ideal world it wouldn't exist at all..

I appreciate your guys honest input but pls don't change wednesday's. The battle Royale is a great tournament as it is, do not change it. The 75% ko's aren't going anywhere according to Luke and I'm actually fine with that. They're not ideal but they aren't that bad either. It's a unique variation to the daily schedule once a week and it's aite. The 100% kos are just a straight up pigeon format which have replaced one of the most popular tournament variations of the week in the 320 super ko and its accompanying minis, early and late editions. Pls just change it back to how it was previously.

No1 wanted this change and it was simply forced upon us on a whim. It's just crazy. Also it replaced a popular tournament that has been around for years instead of being a NEW addition to the tournament schedule like it should have been.

Also add back the 8 cubed and 22 cubed to the schedule. They were fine tournaments that garnered a decent prize pool daily until their guarantees were repeatedly slashed. Throw them in with a 15k guarantee each or 10k conservatively and they'll crush. We need more normal structured tournaments that aren't turbos or varied formats but actual normal poker. The cubed versions were nice in that they offered a decent opportunity to play deeper for a smaller buyin with the option of a rebuy/addon. Outside of the bigs there is very little normal poker with decent prizepools.

Add in a daily 33r at peak time and a mini 3r version with 10k guarantees on each to start. They will crush too. It was the raking of rebuys and slashing guarantees that eventually killed them, not the actual format itself. The 55r is a prime example of a tournament completely ruined by slashed guarantees.

All these rebuys and cubeds aside, just adding in some more normal freeze outs would be great. Anything pls.

If those tournaments don't work for whatever reason then pls add in some more decent tournaments with vanilla formats with DECENT 10k+ guarantees. I can't reiterate how important that is to people when they choose to play a tourney. Whatever the data says, I've been playing for over a decade on stars and the guarantees are literally the most important factor when it comes to choosing my schedule. Pls don't be nitty on them because it hurts everyone in the long run, the site and the players. Rant over

No, weds is the biggest day for low/mid guys after sunday. Dont screw it up.

if you really want to keep the format (imho not), can make it friday

zoom massive fail anyway now

Luke, why not add a new MTT format "Run It Twice"? We have "Win The Button", "Bubble Rush" etc. So, why not? Maybe people will love it. I'm not saying replace all the MTTs with run it twice, just add few tournaments and let's see how it will run.

Luke, in response of your post regarding early entries in the $320 LO8 High Roller:

I think what's missing is a regular $27 LO8 Omania, so winners of those are incentive to play in the high roller as well.
Please remember that Bryan had a Daily $27 LO8 which averaged 1.3K Gtd, which is quite a good number considering how late it started (I believe it was 18:30 ET).

I see that in the afternoon there are no $27 Omanias whatsoever, so why not add one there as numbers would probably be even better than the former Daily LO8, eg:

Daily 15:00 ET $27 Omania LO8 [1K Gtd]

Interesting.. why do you say its the best day for low/mid? Can't see anything special about it...

A big 109 psko early and late, a 215 psko in the peak time, a huge 22$ psko in peak time too.
I cant find better special tornaments for low/mid stakes guys.
The zoom day is trash, the 6max day inst that good because the 109 and 215 editions have the avg ability higher.

Tuesday/thurs is too high stakes.

+1 to change Friday and Buffy gotta respect you for still writing coherent sentences rather than spewing insults

please no, and change Saturday back to sko already.

in b4 both saturday 320 and Battle Royale become 100% progs now

+1 to Total KO on Friday. Zoom mtt is like the least popular format anyway. revert Saturday to where it was before, and make Friday Total KO day instead of Zoom day.

In before total kno zoom 6 max hiper fridays
Vamooo

+1M


you can mix 100%pko and zoom on Friday, seperately and mixed even

@luke
as far as bigs/hots popularity goes; i used to log in just to play a few sats to get in bigs/hots
i don't anymore since the only sats left for hots are hypers [no thanx] and i can only find 1 turbo sat for each big i'd like to play when there used to be at least 3 turbo sats for each big and at least one turbo sat for the hots [a couple for the most popular/peak time like hot55]

so i'd very much like to play them like i used to [they didn't lose their appeal/popularity to me], but i simply cannot with the current sat offerings

Definitely agree, the friday majors suck.

bring back s530 , big gap between 215 and 1ks, party 500s keep growing
