We have made a change to the format of our VIP Freeroll.

Now instead of being a Monthly $10,000 Freeroll we are going to move to a weekly $2,500 Freeroll starting 6th of March

The coupons will be issued to start the month for all tournaments that month, and all VIP players will be able to play in all tournaments.

So if you reached a VIP level in February you will very shortly receive all the entry coupons for the March tournaments. The schedule of them is below:

6th March - 12pm ET (5pm GMT)
13th March - 12pm ET (5pm GMT)
20th March - 12pm ET (5pm GMT)
27th March - 12pm ET (5pm GMT)

Doesn't really matter to me, but Wednesdays at noon eastern is awesome timing for the rec players.

If you're not on the VIP program, can you still play these? If so, what are the requirements.

Really hate this, no way I can play any of these. You do realize a lot of your VIPs have irl jobs correct? Sat or Sundays is the obv choice in time selection, having more players able to play these can only HELP your cause.

Nice way to give a few perks to recs and attract some new players

I like the times. Always hated freerolls on the weekends. That's my family time.

Whether you agree with the changes we all know why they made the change for both this and the 100 seats. They can't handle the load with everyone playing on the weekend. This is a positive change though I would much more prefer a software/server upgrade.

With tournaments in the US being so small the weekends really aren't for grinding anymore. So I don't mind the mid week tournaments, but they should be at night.

They are at night, in Europe. I'm guessing the reason for the time is because they want to grow their non USA market.

The freeroll is under the "Private" tab rather than the "Freeroll" tab? mistake i think.

These coupons have no cash value they are just an entry to that particular tournament.

Just like the 50 Seats freerolls this is really about balancing the tournament load on the servers and will take a couple of runnings before I can get the tournament team to make any changes.

With that in mind I wouldn't expect to see any changes till later in the month, I am keeping an open dialogue with them though to try and get some changes.

Common sense solution, spread out the times:
1st week - 9am pst
2nd week - 1pm pst
3rd week - 5pm pst
4th week - 9pm pst
5th week - (rare occurances) 1am pst.

Everyone should be able to participate in at least 1-2 of these a month.
