They never really seemed to do this...just tear up the sched and start over. They just added slightly and made small adjustments here and there. Also agree the Saturday portion (the one day I now have to play all day) is pretty slim pickins.
3,000th post and it's one that agrees with iPlay. Welcome back me, I guess.
The thing about the payout scale that gets me is that the idea I'm surmising behind offering a big GTD on a tournament is to attract players to play. So if that's the case on a $10,000 GTD tournament with 1st place = $1,500, I'm probably less apt to play than if it was $3,000 and less places paid.
But it is happening - look at the Colossus. $11 million in prize pool with 22,000 entries and 1st place was $638,000. I dunno...more catering to casuals and recs seems to have the opposite intended effect (is the game really growing?) while diluting the game for everyone else.
