true, a sng can be multi tables. but this isnt a set number of people, its just a set number of people to start it. on demands can have 1000 tables if enough people joined. thats not a 18,27, or 45 person sng- thats an mtt that should have no place in this promo

I don't understand why they're making this all so difficult.... let the ODs run as they did but simply cut the #points given to their equivalent rake contribution compared to other SNGs. Problem solved

Solution: cap them at a set max # of registrants (plus reentries)

1) Sit & Crush is changing to Bi-Weekly
2) I am removing the $20 OD
3) We are changing all the OD's but the changes we make wont allow them to dominate and should drive traffic to sng's...

All OD will be turbos but it still is a reasonably slow turbo IMO. We are going to have the following:-

$1 - 12 players to start
$3 - 12 players to start
$5 - 12 players to start

These will recreate once the 30 mins of late reg is over.

$7 PLO & PLO8 - 27 players to start
$10 - 27 players to start
$15 - 45 players to start

These will recreate 30 minutes after late reg is over. So another one will open for registration 1 hour after one kicks off.

For now this is what we are changing and i do think that all these changes factored wont allow the OD's to have an impact.
When will these changes be communicated and detailed on the network itself? Would be nice to see the points chart and official word of this sometime before these changes go into effect.

Already implemented. I know where I'm not grinding this month. Shame they have to kill the action to my fav sngs instead of just reducing or doing away w/ the point multiplier. Makes no sense.

I thing WPN's objective with the On Demand change is to get more players in each tournament (but less tournaments obv).

If you earned a little more than 5 pts/day in December, you qualified for a small Sit and Crush prize.

Such a joke to get rid of the 20s and make all of them turbos. So basically all that's being done is catering to the micro players and punishing the people that play higher. The rake on the double or nothings needs to be looked at as well.

stars 50/50 $28.63+1.37
wpn DON $30+ 1.9

I think the choice to move to all "slow" turbos is a good one for the overall player pool. It's a fair compromise between structures. Look, too many options when you have a special tournament type actually has a negative affect on overall participation.

the plo8 on demand i seen earlier had 67 entries after late reg closed.
01-02-2014 , 01:02 PM
so is the sit and crush going to be two weeks this month or the whole month?
01-02-2014 , 03:57 PM
1st of all happy new year to everyone.

Sit and Crush is now every 2 weeks. The promo obviously isnt where we want it to be but given time it will get there. Unfortunately its baby steps and these things do take time.

Yeah but it will only start up once or twice a day now, if it even does.
01-02-2014 , 05:27 PM
is there a glitch in the sit and crush leaderboard cuz some people who are in the top of the board are getting smaller prizes then ppl that are 16 or 20 th
01-02-2014 , 05:51 PM
So it's still going to be the On demand and Crush promo?
01-02-2014 , 07:12 PM
If they are going to be turbos can we at least get more than 1500 in starting chips? I didn't mind having 1500 with the structure that was in place before in conjunction with 10 minute blind levels...

But I really don't like the new structure much. I don't mind that they're being changed to turbos, but please make it 2-3K starting chips. At very least, make the 10 and 15 dollar ones start at 2.5K in chips.

Just my two cents. I won't be grinding to place in the promotion (maybe if I get my PC fixed tonight, but I don't want to have to make up all the volume people are getting in now while I don't have a HUD,) but I enjoy having the On Demands there. I'm not sure how much I'm going to want to play what are effectively 40-50 man Turbo SNGs with OK, but not really good, structure.

Still zero communication found on the network about this being bi-weekly.

Can anyone explain this? If you look at the leaderboard, it seems as if places 1-10 and places 11-30 are their own separate declining-pay-scales, with places 11-30 getting paid more than 10th place...
01-04-2014 , 06:27 PM
malt - that's just the TD's creative side in action. Pretty consistent with everything else about how this thing's put together
