I agree that a schedule sorta like Lock with more 11 and 22 buyin MTTs would be nice...
That's why they need to fix the structure of the 162 to 7500 or 10k starting stacks and add an extra level or two.

Can you please add 2 or 3 O8 mtt's please? It wouldn't hurt to offer a $5 PLO8 rebuy or a $33 PLO8/NLO8 or a $11 PLO8 either. There is a large group of O8 players who are looking for a landing spot and Winning Network can offer this.

What do you think is the best / most frequented time for it since the O8 tables itself barely kick off (happened to be at one today to check the new cards and how they look like at Omaha).

Right now, if you don't have a decent bankroll, even the $3, $4 and $5 satellites with the re-buys and long late registration periods are too expense for casual players to even try to get their foot in the door on the good guarantees.
You really need to think more about the the micro limit and low limit tournament players, there are more of them than any other players...............Just a suggestion............

Thank you for your suggestion. And yes, the tournament schedule is getting an overhaul very soon.

As others have said, 15 minute blinds are great for weekends but during the week we need 10 minute blind tournaments and turbos. Please don't start all tournaments at the top of the hour too.
Run another $25 tournament next to the nightly $25 10k...this one make a 5k guarantee. It will not have an overlay I'm sure....
More tournaments pleasssse...other than that, no complaints

The lack of any tourneys starting a 1am kills the action. 2.Also fix the play structure of the 20 rebuy that starts at 11pm. It was a 300 dollar bubble in a 20 rebuy.
3. Add a 600/1200 blind level to all tourneys
4. Only allow re-entry for 1 hour, except in tourneys like the 50k and nightly 10k, I understand its good to have tourneys that get big GTDs.
5. As far as adding turbos goes. Maybe having some 11 usd and 7.7 USD could help keep intrest. Maybe rotate that ever hour or have a turbo start at :30 after and have them rotate between 7.7, 12, and 24, then have a 5 turbo ever other hour.
6. Have at least one or two extra big sunday tourneys. Nothing crazy but I'm sure if its possible to make a few of the regular tourneys a bigger GTD (make an extra 10k and 15k in the mix). Then run sattys for it.

Make all your tourneys freeze outs / rebuys in those denominations
THEN
$1 satties to the 5.50,
5.50 satties to the 11 and so on
Change satty structure to a normal turbo instead of this uber turbo late crap.
Run early, Run often...
You do this, you will have major success....
Thank you for the suggestions, they are definitely noted.

Thank you for your suggestions. Every time we put up Knockouts, they barely get played. If there is a desire for them, we can certainly add them.

I am an ether VIP(rake about 1k a month) mtt player on carbon, and have looked into switching to BCP due to the bs 8-10 week cashouts on merge but after looking at your tournaments I will not be switching, at least yet
The tournament pages and lists are "cleaner" looking on carbon, more per hour, better guarentees that make more sense satellite structure is cleaner, please fix this and your traffic will flow, i will switch, more ppl will be happy and BCP can come out on top as the leading US site, I would love to see this and switch but have little faith in the sites doing things correctly anymore but i hope you prove me wrong
Thanks for your feedback!

Can you add more guaranteed tournaments to the Sunday MTT schedule? I think if you did this the bigger tournaments would probably get more action too. There are really only a couple of tournaments worth playing on Sunday for players who play on multiple sites.

i think there waiting for the software upgrade. Hopefully it will be more suitable for multi table play then as traffic increase more tournaments would be added.

I'm gonna rehash a point I made early. You don't have any tourneys that run a 1am. I'm sure you can have a 500gtd or something along those lines. The 10usd 200gtd has probably ran less than 5 times this year. Why not move up the 750 gdt and the 400 gtd an hour earlier. Then maybe move up the 12 turbo to the 2am slot so people that have stacks in the 750 and 400 can buy into that one as well.

except every sattie should be paying next step to top 1/3rd not top half or 1 in 5.
1 dollar to 3. 3 to 9. 9 to 27. 27 to 81. 81 to 243.
use tickets and let them be used every step of the way in sngs to cash or in any mt of that price.
05-26-2013 , 09:34 PM
I see that some Omaha8 MTTS will be added? Any chance that some Stud, StudHilo, and maybe some mixed game MTTS will be added as well? Some of us would like more variety.
05-26-2013 , 11:50 PM
Add more guaranteed tourneys and the players will come.

I would add in some $1 rebuys($500 guarantee), $3 rebuys($500-$1000 guarantee), $11 rebuys($1500+)

I would also add in some freezouts, $5.50($500-$1000 guarantee) $11.00($1000+ guarantee) $22($1500+)

Adding some turbo deepstack tourneys wouldnt hurt either. Players love flocking over to those tourneys.


Yall have a few good tourneys


1. 10k deepstack (mon-fri)
2. 50k guarantee on sunday
3. 1k, 2k, and 3.5k rebuys
4. $5.50 3.5k on sundays and wed


Other than that though, there isn't much else to see. The rest of your tourneys seem to be based on high buyins with small guarantees and small fields like the $109 5k, $55 2k, and the $33 1.5k


Now I understand that WPN doesn't have the same mtt player field that Merge does, but I still feel like those tourney buyins could be lowered or the guarantees could be bigger.

So when are we gonna get a new tournament schedule or some new tourneys? Im tired of reading through all these threads and you essentially saying nothing. Where's the new software you keep talking about? I feel like I'm wasting my time here cause you never have any answers to anything. You just beat around questions with broad answers. New software? Tournament schedule overhaul? When? You're not gonna give me any answers. You'll just throw out some general "This is a process" or some other nonsense literally nobody on here wants to hear. The only good thing about the site is the payout times. It's the only reason I signed up with you guys. Who cares about all that though when there is nothing to play? Your cash games are a joke with The Beast and BBJ killing people with rake. Im not touching those. The tournament schedule is terrible. I understand you can't just have all these crazy guarantees. It's a matter of site traffic. But how many $6 rebuys do you need? My God. And the traffic is up enough where you could raise the guarantees but you're not. I have no interest in some $250 or $500 guarantee. Im sure a lot of people do but I'm not one. During the day there is nothing with a decent guarantee. Im hoping all this changes with the new tourney schedule. Who really knows how long that's gonna take? Im just over it. Gonna look for a new site. Cashouts might take forever but at least there is stuff to play. If I have to jump on the site again and see all there is to play is a $6 rebuy and a $7 PLO I'm gonna I'm gonna lose it.

Typing aggressive messages like this isin't going to help. Be patient, I am sure they are doing all they can and I'm sure the Reps on here have little control over what tournaments run.
06-05-2013 , 04:23 PM
What? Does it matter either way? Im mad and I'm gonna let him know there are people on here who can see though his drivel. I know he's just doing his job and he has to come on here and say the stuff he says. Doesnt mean I'm just gonna let it go though. If people came on here with the attitude I have maybe they'd be pressed into actually making changes instead of just jumping on here and saying nothing. maybe they'd be pressured into making some real changes in a timely manner instead of the nonsense were repeatedly fed on here. The guy clearly likes leading us on hoping we'll see a brighter future and want to hang around.
06-07-2013 , 03:46 AM
Crazy idea... Maybe if you add more tourneys you'll get more traffic. I know there are alot of regs who have not came over cause there really are not many GTDs. I noticed in the tourneys that have 2k+ GTDs that many players in it are also playing on other networks. Many of these Merge and Revolution regs will play on ACR but just for the 6-8 good tourneys they play.

I've seen a few tourneys added but maybe adding a few extra tourneys wouldn't hurt. Maybe do an another poker series and keep the few tourneys that did the best.

While the software might detour some people this is the only site that pays out quick. So the grinders will come and play if they're tourneys to grind. When there are more tourneys the recreational player will see the schedule and wanna play. Then people will play this site as their primary site. The recreational players and other players will then play on the cash tables which is were the most sites make there money.
06-07-2013 , 11:07 PM
KnockOuts would be great FTP use to have them with i think a MAX of 180 and 90 entrants with a 10$ bounty. and there would be atleast 2 of them running at all times.


and please fix the tournaments to have the correct payouts listed in the lobby
06-08-2013 , 04:43 AM
I started playing on WPN in October and finished playing on WPN in Decemeber. The site is a joke. I'd love to take advantage of their great cash outs and great customer service, but hearing "The MTT schdule will be overhauled very soon" and "Our software will be overhauled very soon" gets old pretty fast.

8 months later I see they are still spewing the same nonsense. I really do wish they'd make an effort to make this site playable. Agree with everyone above.
06-09-2013 , 11:35 AM
this is so stupid.. Sunday, looking for a MTT to play $200GTD SWEET! OH WAIT $13 dollars to enter.. nevermind.. Really? $13 buy in for a $200GTD? It's no wonder these tournaments don't run worth a damn.

almost ready to sell my roll for some BTC's..

Agreed...value isnt there with the high buyins /low guaranteed
06-10-2013 , 01:53 PM
1K guaranteed or less...buyins should be $8 or less. The 1K guaranteed you run daily for $6.60 w/rebuy & add on is good , but the $200, $300, $500's guaranteed for like like $12 or more buyin just dont make sense at all. If you can make these make sense, the 4-5K ppl traffice online at any given time will double maybe triple. You guys have gotten better though with these below

1. 10k deepstack all week
2. 50k guarantee on sunday
3. 1k, 2k, and 3.5k rebuys
4. $5.50 3.5k on sundays and wed

Keep it going
06-10-2013 , 07:49 PM
I see they have added a !K Gtd. At 8:00 EST with a 12.00 buyin
