Would prefer 6max rather than FR.

Agree with Urubu's sentiments on buyin and time though. Think there would be a ton more value in something in the $109-220 price range. It's a sunday, you want rec players....

I like the idea of 6max $215 freezout, and but a reasonable guarantee on it. A $109 unlimited rebuy would probably be a cool format as well, could be a ton of value

I agree with urubu, the best tournament would be the one that attracts the most players/fish/sunday mtt'ers, so 109 FR FO would work perfect, given there's enough guaranteed prize pool.

And Stars should obviously move the 500PLO on Sunday or Saturday as well.

No reason to move the Monday 530 that have a decent player field, and is well established. Simply duplicate it and make it 215$ish should work well on a Sunday. There is def room for more higher buy inn stars PLO tournament in the regular schedule in my opinion. And I def would love to squeese something like that in my Sunday schedule.

With this in mind, I started a thread to see what kind of MTT format would be the most preferred by the 2p2 members. Please see the voting results:

Please find the thread here: Petition: Pokerstars PLO Sunday MTT

The 6max format seems to be the most popular and 6max freezeout being slightly more popular than the rebuy format.

Please note that there we other suggestion too (on top of this vote), mainly regarding a HU tournament but also about moving the Monday PLO tournament to Sunday.

Very few think that no Sunday PLO MTT is needed.

We appreciate and welcome your comments and discussion in the thread.

Many thanks and best regards,
Johannes

Additionally a 6-max $55 FO or Rebuy would also be deeply appreciated as it would allow for more tournament players to be exposed to PLO.

Informative thread; thank you for bringing it to my attention!

We'll discuss any potential addition in the relatively near future, though obviously I can't promise any specific change or addition at this time.

(By the way, please note that if you're looking to provide MTT-related feedback to a specific member of PokerStars staff on TwoPlusTwo, you're looking for me. If you're looking to provide ring game/cash S&G/VIP program-related feedback here, you're looking for Steve.)

Thanks for coming into this forum Bryan.

I would def play more MTTs if there was a PLO mtt to center my schedule around on Sundays. A weekly tourneys like this on Pokerstars would be awesome:

WCOOP-16: $215 PL Omaha [6-Max], $250K Guaranteed.

There's been no movement on this at the moment. We're in the middle of preparing to launch a new regular tournament schedule in December, so any new offerings are being put on hold until then at the earliest. I have made sure that the member of my Team who is responsible for drafting the schedule checks out the thread.

All the best,
Bryan

Agree that 109$ fullring would be best.
All Omania's are full ring, and they crush their guarantees every day up, to +200% on weekends . 6max is better for 320$+, or 109$+ rebuy highrollers

I am too late too vote. But 9 max 109$ full ring wouls be best. Omanias are 9 max and crush guarantees. 6 max is good for higher buyinns.

For selfish reasons, I'd love to see a 109 6 max FO. 5k starting stack.
For railing reasons, I'd love to see a 215R 6 max, that starts within 1 hour, of the 109.

I see no reason why stars, can't have both. The demand is out there, tons of satellites for the 109 would be awesome, and the higher players don't really need satellites for the 215R so I don't think you'd be stealing players from this or that pool.

Two big PLO Tournaments would make a better Sunday, imo.

109$ Action Hour 9max Freezeout
$100K guaranteed
(Late reg of at least an hour, for the nits who hate action).

215$ 6max 2x Chance
$150K guarantee

Both should have 5K chips and 15 minute blinds, I think.

Hi everyone,

The project for the new MTT schedule has been delayed a bit, as we altered the process significantly, making it more formalized, step-by-step, etc. I can tell you that we're moving ahead and the new schedule will launch later this year, but I can't yet provide a definite date. I will definitely be referring back to this thread (and others like it) as the draft(s) are gone through on the way to the new schedule. Thank you as always for the time and effort put into constructive feedback threads like this one!

Same time as the million on sunday would be great. I never play the million but would play both if they started at the same time. If it was 2hrs before id never play the million.

I think it would be sweet if Stars implemented a $215 200k guarantee , with up to 2 rebuys if you bust out in the first 3 hours.

But because PLO tournies are more boring than NL tournies, it'd be awesome if they could figure out a structure that includes antes (always, and from the getgo) as well as deep stacks (at least to start) and room to play post-flop PLO throughout.
