Chris - Is the Daily Value Deepstack structure the same as the $20K & $50K in a day?

I think I found the structures at the bottom of this:

https://www.caesars.com/content/dam/...ic-release.pdf

However, its not complete. There are tournaments in there that don't have their starting stack given. So can you tell me the starting stack size for these tournaments:

Value Stack
Double Stack
Triple Stack
Survivor
All In Or Fold
50k In A Day
Omaha Hi- Lo

On that last one, what type of limit is it?

Thanks. And if any of the tournaments on the schedule don't use the structure sheet at the bottom of it, please let me know.

Have you improved your tourney tracking/updating from last year?

Maybe you can consider ending day 1 after 15 levels and late reg. after 12... or moving 1A back a couple hours?
Even then day 1A would end ~5 AM.

It looks like you are using last year's list of games for the dealer's choice tournaments. The WSOP added one variation to its dealer's choice tournament this year that isn't listed on PH's structure sheets: Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

With the exception of the lowroller we will be using a standard 10% model

The WSOP schedule says both of their dealer's choice events are 19 game but if you count the games on their structure sheets it is actually 20 games (adding PL 2-7 Triple Draw from last year). It seems TDChrisG's structure sheet is using the 19 games the WSOP used last year.

Are REs required immediately upon busting or can you still RE any time before late reg. closes?

Thank you Chris but I don't understand something : when i have a look to the schedule i can read that the 8pm tournaments are "Value stack $100+$30" but the structure (second page of your document) talk about a $80+$20 tournament... Can you explain ?

Chris, could be please do away with the 30-minute "extended" break for all 4-5pm starting tournaments? (Mostly flights of $600 Milly, and such.)

I've played those and NOBODY wants a 30 minute break at midnight. Makes no sense. In fact if possible, all breaks should be 10 minutes on 5pm flights because there's usually less people and everyone wants the whole thing to be over sooner.

Not against that but I'd like more people to jump in and support this before implementing.

Chris, are you going to add PL 2-7 Triple Draw to the dealer's choice?

Please and thank you!

A few structure sheet issues:

Event 116 is a PLO Satellite, but the structure includes antes. Is that the right structure?

Event 93, 130, and 132 all occur 6/4. Given their high event numbers and other tournaments occur on that day (#29 & #30) I think the dates are wrong on the structure sheets.

I've played a lot of the $600/$1600 Goliath flights later (after busting WSOP events) AND literally EVERYONE in the flight was shocked there was a 30 minute break and didn't agree with it.

You can't go anywhere in 30 minutes that you can't go in 10 at the PH.
Also everyone gets tired late in the night and the longer the breaks the longer we have to be there past midnight.

the feedback is certainly appreciated...I'm fine making everything 10 minutes that starts at 4p or later...is there any concern for some of the longer day ones that will play 12 hours or so though?

47a will be a long flight but we are looking at limiting the duration of the breaks to help with that a bit. That said I don't think we will get all of the levels in as scheduled since PLO plays a fit faster than NLH events. We are scheduled for all of the posted levels or 12% of the remaining field - whichever occurs first. Guessing we rap up prior to 4a with adjusting break schedules and expected time we hit 12% of the remaining field.
