I usually thought of sats as giving you a seat to an mtt yet to start. The timing on ACR is really late, there are literally satellites that start for mtts that have been running for hours. That is the sat start time is two hours after the start time of the mtt it feeds.

I didnt pay attention at first, won a random sat and was seated with like 5bb. Felt almost like I was tricked. Since then I check and almost every satellite is setup like this. I dont get it.

I don’t play sat’s but agree 100% with this.

Needs to be looked at

They were supposed to be giving out tickets at this point, which would alleviate the problem. I'm ok with sats running to a mtt that is ongoing, but they definitely need more that run before the target MTT ever starts.

Yeah, I have always been irked by the fact I can't just get tourney bucks credited automatically and decide for myself when to use them. Even worse, I've had the problem of winning the seat and the software not reacting until 10 minutes later finally taking me to my seat, literally missing a whole level of blinds when I was already way late reg.
