From memory:
1. More off peak, low deep stacked mtts both freeze outs and PKOS, $2-$11.
2. Add 3 max turbos to the schedule
3. Get rid of fast friday zooms as they are unpopular, replace with a better format. As someone suggested if you must keep them move them to Mondays which is a lot more low key day and better suited to them.
4. I believe there were numerous changes to mixed games requested.
Updating the main schedule is on our list of priorities, just behind MicroMillions and WCOOP planning. When it is time to dedicate resources to this task, I'll be reading through the past dozen pages and taking notes on what players want. Please continue to provide ideas!

In addition to reading through past posts, I'll likely pose some questions when we're in the process of discussing some changes.

This would result in Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Majors all being PKO, so I can't say I'm particularly keen on it. I do agree that 3-Max PKO Zoom should be added somewhere, most likely a set of weekly tournaments like Majors and not a daily fixture (yet).

these are the space PS could have used to broadcast updates to players, whenever there is a server problem, instead of keeping people in the dark for hours.
I agree with you and I've provided an explanation for why this happened as well as an apology. This process will be improved to ensure that players are better notified during a issues as well as how they're communicated with afterwards.

The non-deep hyper satellites do not work very well, so this is not out of the realm of possibility! What formats would be best to generate seats and finish within, say, 90 minutes?

Our satellite offering for Barcelona is somewhat fluid. It changes much more week-to-week than Sunday Million satellites, for instance. I've passed on this bit of feedback.

  • ... winners might be incentive to play in the high roller, helping to raise early entry numbers

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).
Thanks - will note this for main schedule changes.

I was not alerted of any issues for .BE players at the time, but have since confirmed we had connection issues on June 23rd for approximately 13 minutes. If you feel you were materially affected, please contact Support.

Discussing this with you via PM - .RO also experienced connection issues, but they lasted approximately 30 seconds. We need more information to attempt to diagnose this issue. If you (or any other .RO players) supply logs to me shortly after experiencing a disconnect, I'll pass them on to the developers.

Because other sites still use the "old" one it's confusing and i preferred the former anyway.
There's no plans to add this feature. Creating such a feature would be a significant development task and while there was some initial (expected) confusion among players, it seems to have quieted down and players are used to the new display.

I would love to similar levels like in SCOOP phase.
This is another tournament that I think could use a periodic refresh. I think your peers here will have some thoughts regarding Phase tournaments in the main schedule.

Thanks for reply. It's fluid indeed and the variety is pleasing. I just thought it would be more convenient if the satellites providing seats are deployed well in advance to allow for planning?

An additional question would be - Are there plans for more sats offering full packages apart from the Ultra which runs this Sunday? And what is the last week that sats for Barca will run in general?

Thanks - will note this for main schedule changes.

+1 for the daily mixed games to come back.
I dont think i ever saw them ever overlay, the only change that was needed from the old schedule was to move the badugi to a later start time.

The mixed games schedule is pretty poor right now nothing for mid stakes players to play. So many good tournaments were removed.
The limit holdem hypers, the pko horse, the turbo badugi the early morning 22 stud 8 and o8, the hyper turbo stud, the ko razz and a bunch of 5card draw tourneys.

I played 4780 tournaments in 2015 and went down to 950 last year which was mainly at the start on theyear before the new schedule came out

Can't you just make Fridays special a vanilla freezeout. Maybe make it a 8 max so there is a little variety or something.

hey luke, good to see micromillions back on the program again this year... any chance of going back to the leaderboard prizes instead of last man standing like last year? ( which most players prefer) and I hope your also going back to tourney starts every 4 hours or so to cater for players from all nationalities? as is great to be able to play a big tourney series at 4pm in the arvo in the southern hemisphere.. with seeing the main is event 122 or something this does look promising for that case...

This.

An 8max vanilla reg speed would be amazing, even if it will get a smaller guarantee because it's a Friday. There are plenty of turbos in the schedule, make Friday majors playable pls.

Why not keep the fast friday zoom, just change it to 6max?
I think, the zoom format is associated and liked much more with 6-max than 9-max. Look at the popularity of 6max and 9max zoom cash games. We would probably see similar effets, if you changed the fast friday (and the rest of the zoom mtts in the schedule too).
Also look at the scoop events, the 6max zoom tournies crushed their guaranties almost as much as the 3max pkos.

One more thing: Similar to bubble rush mtts, zoom mtts should get increased lvl times once zoom dealing ends. With the zoom format the avg stack stays pretty deep, but once it ends, avg stack decreases a ton, making it often not a great experience, when you get deep itm in these.

Once you fix/change these things, I think, there would be much more demand for zoom mtts.

It is a bad one for regs. Which in turn makes it a good format. Regs struggle to multitable them which Obv shouldn't be any of Stars concern. Still doesn't mean 9max vanilla zoom is the best way to go

(IT ISNT)

Does any one know about "The Deal"; i get a popup every so often saying ... if the jackpot is it half the prize pool will get divided by players who played the deal in the last 12 hours". I always play the deal when that sign comes up but didn't "wilpurr6dgts" hit the jackpot tonight around 10.50pm meaning i should have won something?

Also if i should even bother entering the deal when this sign comes up because of free roll equity but it is a pain when multi tabling.

Thanks

Pls bring the old leaderboard back. It provided an extra added incentive to grind and climb it. Not sure why it was removed other than for financial reasons. Was definitely a popular feature.

Theres a thread in NVG and in Internet Poker about The Deal. What you said is true but once the pop up comes up they stop the jackpot, so you will not be eligible to win if you play after the pop up comes up and the jackpot is struck. So don't enter the deal when the pop up comes up cos your too late for that jackpot.

+1 for a proper major on Friday. Vanilla 8max would be great.

People keep registering longer sessions if they have a major that goes for longer than an hour or 2 on a given day.

Is there a way to get $215 tickets via satellite where it's not tournament-specific?

I guess you can do it via steps but steps are dead/no games.

Just want to figure out how to get $215 tickets without immediately being entered into a specific tournament.
