This is just to inform you that the streak tests are now in the lobby.

The theory behind these tournaments are:

Only the top 8 finishers receive a cash prize
The rest of the places and its a very flat payout will receive a ticket into the next days streak.

The final test is on Saturday where the ticket places will be placed into Sundays 25k at 2pm et.

These are all freezeouts and have 2 hours late reg. Also need 30 players minimum to start.

The ticket distribution goes up depending on players so if we get 500 + players it will be final 8 paid then roughly 150 tickets for the next day. It will just not show dynamically how many tickets will be distributed.

These are going to be massive tournaments for us in 2018 with some huge prizepools on a daily basis. Which will run throughout the week and end with a big tournament on Sundays.
These again are just tests going into the new year!

Any questions let me know

Hmm, what are they called in the lobby? I'm not seeing them..

So what happens if you get a ticket for the next day but can't play?

You can unregister the next day.

They are called the streak (beta) 10k gtd

had to cancel tonights as its very very unclear for anyone that doesnt know what it is.

Trying to fix the visual display to make it better.

When is the new schedule for 2018 going to go into effect?

I will say the 6th of Jan

That's when these will start?

wait so now this new saturday 200k major is one of these gimmicky satellite things for the milly? so it's a $265 satellite to a $265 tournament, and the top 8 people play for the remaining 40% of the prize pool... ?

really think it would be a huge huge huge mistake / error to make these streak gimmicks a major commonplace offering. not a single one of the test runs even fired because of how unenticing an idea it is / unenticing it would be to play. much less grind regularly. nobody on earth is interested in playing a regular structured tournament for 9 hours to get 9th and get a buy in back profiting 00z just the same as the guy who finished 5.2 hours earlier in 311th place. that's actually a huge loss due to wasted time and hourly. can't possibly envision a reason to play these things unless it's the only network a player has available. might be a "what else are you gonna do?" registration from US players who aren't mixing in ignition volume or some other niche market. think these things die out within the first week if they even get off the ground at all. can easily see them not hitting required number of entrants.

also can envision a bunch of people playing the first saturday without realizing it's payout structure is an absolute joke, and then refrain from playing them ever again and only waiting for the milly on sunday.

had 4 people set to come over for the weekend to grind round the clock saturday and sunday. convinced them not to play a local live event 250 200k because day 2 is saturday and 'because there's a 265 200k on wpn that day'


but in reality, there isn't a 265 200k. it's a 265$ sattellite to a $265 tournament, but if you ifnish in the top 8 you can play for the remaining 20% of the prizepool amongst the other players.


think this idea is the biggest faceplant decision from the network in as long as i can remember.



please don't do this

Your not quite correct. First of all its a 2 hour lr freezeout so no not 9 hours

second if there is 500 plus final table is 63% of the prizepool then there is a distribution of tickets

Ok test is back on and very important for tonight at 6.45 pm et.

please try them out

I like this format and think it will be popular down the road but you gotta give some time for your micro players to come back before you ditch it. Should try and run 3 of these at different prices such as $1/$5/$10 at the same time.

Oh, so all of the good Saturday MTTs you added with "The Streak" in front are this nonsense.... nice. See ya on Sunday I suppose. Can't we just have regular satellites and regular tournaments? I mean really.... There is no way that 90% of the new Saturday additions are this, right? Would be very sad and disappointed if so.

Can we finally see the rest of the schedule for the week?

Yeah I don’t get all this gimmicky stuff and I’m a big fan of WPN.

I don’t mind bounty tournaments but this streak stuff isn’t very good imo

did they remove all the other regular tournaments or something?

Is it possible to turn these "Streak" tournaments into regular payout structure tournaments? A lot of regs like myself might not be interested in playing them otherwise. You play down to the final table & get 9th or something for a $265 ticket?? That doesnt seem pleasant.

Ya I was thinking of actually grinding a few tourneys here and there but I dont' really understand the streaks and what I do know of them doesn't sound that enticing.

I agree. I'm not seeing what is so enticing about playing for hours just to win a ticket for the same value if you dont final table. I could be wrong, but i really dont think these tournys are going to catch on. If i'm not mistaken and read the lobby correct this morning,all of the streaks this morning were cancelled because of lack of entries.

Why did you pull the $265 streak when it needed 30 runners and had 32 2 mins before it started?

Because you said you didnt like the format. haha Why you so worried if you dont like it?

Because it was going to overlay by many thousands of dollars. The reason being, it's a ******ed structure. I'm not the one who put a $200K $265 freezeout with 2 hours late.... Anyone with 2 braincells knew that was never, ever, ever, covering.

Are you apart of ACR loss prevention team now? Seems like every format here is actually overlaying. ACR spent too much time catering to players like you and now no more fun players. This format is good for the game and good for bankroll. It takes a thinking player instead of just throwing money around.

Those were catered to fish, I play tournaments for a living. No reg wanted to play those.

Ok... I guess draining a bankroll in one tournament is catering to fish. Left a really bad taste in their mouth and now they found a new pond.

Disagree. regs SHOULD want to play these. If you are a profitable player you are realizing a higher ROI, because your getting paid much more WHEN you get your final tables and top 3s and wins... And the overlay today makes it a no brainer, 21k int he $22 30k... it got 9k in entries...
