What is so Extreme about the $11 7.5k GTD on Tuesdays? It runs basically everyday. Bump the guarantee up to 10k or do something different to it.

I agree with this logic. Should bump it up to a 10k guarantee... I realize the 7.5k usually doesnt get 10k in the prize pool. But if it was a 10k guarantee, more people would enter, and people would fire more bullets in it, so the guarantee would get met quite often I think..

Thats a big statement to make...

Changing a 7.5 to a 10k does it make someone else play the tournament or bring them to the site?

Is there any point in overlaying some times in that when it wouldnt change the players that play it!!

There is one important lesson i have learnt. (not always the case but 98% of the time)

Dont fix whats not broken

There is a reason KO's dont get as many runners as a regular tournament

With regards to this specific game, you couldn't be more right.

The reason being you're not getting 400-500 players to play a KO.
You might cover 2k, maybe. So you can have an $11 KO, 2k GTD, or an $11 7.5k GTD (that usually always covers)... Which is better for the player and the site?

You need look no further than the current KO games running on the site. Can anybody really tell me why they're attacking the prize pool and structure of one of the best value games on the daily schedule??
