Looks very good, could be a bit heavier in PLO.

Please add one 6max PLO event the first Sunday. Its such a bigger game then draw (that could go midweek) or definitive deserve one spot instead of 4 NL events (replace one or simply add one more PLO on top of that schedule).

  • Each of the above listed tournaments is the Final Phase 1 for a Phase 2 in a 2-Phase system for the overall Event.
  • There will be multiple Phase 1s for each Phase 2.
  • The Low Event will have the highest number of Phase 1s among the three stakes.
  • The Medium Event will have frequent Phase 1s, but not as many as the Low Event.
  • The High Event will have the fewest Phase 1s of the three stakes levels.
  • Phase 1s are likely to start on May 8th.
Looks like an awesome schedule!

One question about the above, your second bullet point indicates there are multiple Phase 2's, which I'm assuming means 3 total Phase 2's, one for L, one for M, and one for H, correct?

Wouldnt it be better to make the 2k zoom NLO8 a regular 2k pko?? seems like it would get like 3-4x more entrants,

Also the $700 ante up is weird as the highest ante up mtt on the schedule now is $4.40??

Not asking to get rid of the mtts, it's great for PLO8/NLO8 to have alot of scoops finally but just the formats you've chosen are odd and think you should change the zoom to a vanilla pko considering how the most popular mtts are the 82 hyper pko and 27 pkos and im sure 90% of regs and recs would agree

Dislike the Omaha zoom being at the time of Sunday when ppl have to focus on deep runs. Rather put it on Monday evening and switch it with the 5stack that will play its second day on Monday night, this way I m sure the plo will get more runners and if you time the day 1 duration of the 5stack right (short) then ppl won't mind firing that. Why I m saying this is because people otherwise are dead on a Monday and as such the 5stack gets comratively small fields while it would explode on a Sunday late night. Could also make it variable. And plo attracts mainly a different crowd

Agree with pads' high roller buying for the PLO HU, the high should at least be 10k considering the action that plo cash gets at those stakes. The other versions will do fine at whatever buyin, but plo players have been begging for high roller mtts forever, headsup seems like another good option next to the 6max (didn't check I sincerely hope it isn't full ring)

Love the rest of the schedule, it's so much better than previous it's crazy

Not a fan of the enormous saturday right before the final sunday. Feels a bit unfair to the true grinders of the series who could be exhausted by the main event day from the day before. There seem like a few decent days you could put the 5k plo or other large saturday events to thin out the day and make some of the other days a bit juicier. My 2c

Haveyou guys fixed the bubble effect ? Thanks for the awesome schedule, looks great !

Yea bubble effect was fixed by not awarding finishing positions while registration is open. You'll notice now players are given -- finish position if they bust during registration.

Schedule looks better than years past. Nothing worth commenting comes to mind.

Good post.

Def not make any PLO mtt full ring. Its a dead game and horrible format for mtts.

Great schedule.

I also do not think that the Main Event should be a re-entry. There are no highly prestigious main events which allow re-entry for obvious reasons so why this one? Re-entries put satellite qualifiers who are only going to fire the 1 bullet at a disadvantage and that is never the right way to go for a Main Event of this importance. No re-entries please.

Schedule looks better than ever. Some small stuff that I'm sure others will point out but in general amazing schedule Bryan, very good work!

Only thing that really bugged me personally was ME being a reentry. Pls dont.

1Rentry is really good IMO for mains and prestigious ones where a lot of revs will take a second shot too.

.

Please no Zooms on Sunday.

I also kind of agree that the Saturday before Main is a little jam packed whether true grinder or not



Oh but I love this fwiw I mean it's so good at start this time a few tweaks and I think this schedule will be good.

What exactly does the variable levels (fast) structure look like? I dislike the word 'fast' in SCOOP structures

Would love see one of the NLO8 changed to a PLO8...
And +1 to moving the 55 - 5k PLO to a not so heavy day, maybe move it to friday instead of the 2R1A, or maybe change it with the 5-CD-Omaha event on first saturday, which is by far not as heavy as the second one

and please make the mixed Omaha a non-zoom on sunday

Sweet, thanks !

I like the main w 1 re. Its mostly like a second chance for anyone that gets coolered early on and it also creates a great (read non nitty) dynamic in the regisstartion period (antew from the start I trully hope ???)

In previous years the final sunday warm up was played as an 8 max tournament. I personally enjoyed this and would like to see it included again.

Schedule is all good but I don't see how it's possible that the Player's Choice would be anything else besides vanilla NLHE. I could see Mid/High-edition players' votes having more spread, but since majority of votes will be coming from people playing who are gonna play only Low, NLHE will reign. I don't mind it being NLHE at all, but it just seems the voting is as useless process as voting in Russia. There's Putin and the opposition candidates. And there's NLHE and rest of the games. Genuine Player's Choice where every player would take turns picking a game before a hand starts (random if a player time-outs opting process) would be good, but I doubt the software supports it? I wouldn't play it but still.

What was supposed to be the most talked event on the schedule? Players Choice or the 3-max Turbo PSKO? Or was it not included?
EDIT: Also kudos to raidalot for a good prediction. I guess the 3-max Turbo PSKO is basically a Spin & Go tournament, right? 3-max... turbo... and PSKO making the payouts a) very random b) really super heavy on #1 and semi flat for rest of the field.
