Only register for one flight in advance sounds like the trainwreck.

300k payjump from 12th to 11th, but only 100k from 9th to 8th is a trainwreck

Little One for One Drop is after the main event? That is odd....seems like that will kill the turnout for it!

Players are encouraged to review structure sheets in advance. (One
example: Instead of a 100-200 level followed by 100-200-25, there will now be just a 100-200-25 level).
Perhaps it's my eyes: I see 25/50, 50/100, 25/75/150 -- on the $1,500 events that I'll be playing in?

So the big difference in structure for NL events is the removal of early repeat level that's it right?

Looks like starting stack/level duration all stayed the same other then for the main event?

Is the info about the $1000 "Top up turbo" up on the nevada site? I can't remember how to not get the NJ site.

Edit: Sounds like probably everyone who wins a satellite gets $10k chips.

If thats the case not sure why they didn't put that on the structure sheet itself.

Not sure its a great idea, but if that is how it works I'm definitely satelliting in.

The tag team thing is just stupid, but otherwise love the changes. 11am start times is awesome.

too gimmicky.

turbo top up - how can you have some players start with more than others in a bracelet event? and 20 min levels?

tag team - so some teams will have 4 players and some 2? LOL

and why all the BigO?

not sure i like 15% of field getting paid. 12% would have been better

So this is what we had to wait an extra 6 weeks for?!?!?

Couldn't be more meh. First week would have been great for me (solid rec with a few deep cashes in the past), but I can't be there then. Had to take a punt with flights and it's looking like my longest Vegas stay in 5 years will have me playing the least amount of bracelet events. Gotta work out if it's still worthwhile coming... *sigh*

And then the changes...

1. Agree - too gimmicky for starters.

2. 15% payout too much - try 12.5% first (1 in 8 from 1 in 10 last year is a big enough move)

3. I'm ok with skipping 100/200/25, but keep 3 ante free levels (shift all antes a row down)

4. I like the earlier start (and end) times, but can't dinner be 60 mins every day? Am I supposed to be hungrier on Day 1?

5. If they were introducing a 4th DDS, why not make it non-NLHE?

There shouldn't be any breaks in the tag team event. You need to pee or eat, tag in your partner.

Funny how of course nearly every single post is a complaint!!

Props to WSOP for being innovative with tag-team event....moving start time up....lessening amount of ante-free levels.

Don't shield your eyes because this is a positive post!!

There are lots of good changes, but stealing equity from players to promote online satellites is kind of crazy.

Tons of things they could do for satellite winners, but it would cost them money. I won a satellite on WSOP.com in 2014 and they didn't even try to give me a patch or anything. All I got was a registration process that was difficult.

Wonder why for the WSOP.com online Bracelet event the entire event is played online this year instead of like last year when they played the Final Table live at the Rio?

Last year I was extremely complimentary and I don't think anything was ostensibly broken - I would have been happy with more of the same.

This year we waited forever, and it's grossly disappointing. And if we don't say something, we have no chance...

Hate the timing of the 1500 Dealers Choice with it colliding in timeframe of the Colussus. Won't affect too many of us but I'm not going to play that event this year. We probably won't even be able to get the good mixed cash side action because of the insanity.

Don't really understand the top up tournament. I figured people basically satellite in for the extra chips and that satellite money would go to the prizepool ( or you can just buy in directly for 2k). But per their latest tweet I don't think this is the case.

But who in their right mind is going to buy into a tournament for half the chips of other players if the other players aren't somehow contributing more to the prizepool? Or pay 2k for the same chips a everyone else who is only paying 1k?

Is it possible they scheduled it during collosus because they know what a bad deal it is and are hoping enough colossus players will enter, not having read or understood how bad a deal the tournament is?
