$5 Super XL Micro Main Event has 20k starting stack and 10 minute levels. Could you change it 12 minute levels to give players extra play in endgame? I should not prolong the tourament too much.

), i think there is enough gamblers who could think this way.
And it's a waaaaay cooler to play 15min lvl structure than 12min. Btw, in a lobby it's still 10min (for Monsoon)

Thank you in advance

+1 !!! I think 15 mins its a must for this Sunday for Monson & Breeze!

+1, also there should be for sure at least 1 re`entry or a rebuy like Mini & Main Events...

I was referring to XL special editions of Breeze and Monsoon, not for every Sunday, but i wouldn't mind to be like that every Sunday.

Late registration closed in event #39 early. Very critical at this stage of leaderboard.

And stop hampering event late registration periods. Both rebuys had 90 min late reg, then it was changed to 105 min / 120 min and now 105 min one closed before that. Tournament structures and late registration should never be changed after they've first unless there's something critical.

Stated formula:

And formula you seem to use:

√((No. of registered players - 2) / position) x √Buy-in

Effectively this results buy-in to have far greater impact on points.

Just noticed it as I was wondering how I had more points (and most other people far more points) than there should be. It's very bad for players (like me) who don't like to play some super high rollers.

Please fix your leaderboard to represent points that should be awarded by formula in picture that is from your rules page instead of current flawed situation. And do this as quickly as possible.

Otherwise some kind of decent refund would be appropriate... not some jokeful 10$ bonus, which would be outright insulting. I wouldn't have played series at all otherwise.

There was indeed an issue with the way the LB was calculating the points. It has now been fixed and is working properly. There is a delay in the update but within 24 hours of tournaments ending the data should be updated. In any case, the final positions of the LB will be determined according to the formula we have posted. Since the series has been going so well and since we had these issues, we have also increased the prizes of the top 5 finishers (in the champion of champions event which will host the top 18 finishers). Now the top 3 will be winning WSOP Vegas packages with 1st winning the Main Event Package. https://www.pokernews.com/news/2017/...ions-26929.htm

anyone know how the re-entry function exactly works?

For example for the XL Main Event: Do you have to have $1050 in your account the moment you bust and want to re-entry?
Or can you click OK, make a new deposit, and then re-entry later on during the late reg period?

appreciate quick answers

I think so too. Also, allowing latereg/re-entry up to 1250/2500 with 20k starting stack is absurd. The average was 30bb after registration closed, after 5 hours, a clear example of how all this infinite latereg and re-entry ruins structures.

Therefore, it is no surprise that the Challenge has cannibalized $22 deepstack and $12 R&A and you were forced to reduce their GTDs.

888Rep, what do you think about previous suggestion to move $22 deepstack and $12 R&A away from the Challenge tournaments? These games had 4k-5k gtd before the Challenge were moved to current time slot. It is sad to see them suffering. $22 deepstack could be 2nd chance tournament with 10 minute levels and higher gtd.

What about $12 2k-3k gtd deepstack with 5k starting stack, 15 minute levels, 180 LR at around 16:00 - 18:00 GMT? You have $5, $22 and $30 deepstacks around this time. It would be nice to have one with $12 buy-in.

Need more mtts in offpeak slots. $5 deep stack around 1am EST and a new blue $12 MTT would work.

$24 4k gtd is waaay too slow , remove some levels or make the levels 12 mins each .

a tournament that starts at 19:15 CET shouldn't be taking till 5 am unless there's a lot of money up top.

bring the aussies back! Euro morning schedule is a boring ghosttown without em

I'd say it's the group that also brings the best social value.

WTF have you done with "Late Night Crocodile"???

It is one of my favourites and you have completely changed it (noticed today).

From a 8K slowstrucuted MTT into a complete luckfest dumbass strucutred MTT.

It is now a 5K GTD (8minutes blinds) with maximum 5x reentries.

Cmon??? And also the cyclone is completely gone???

The latenight crocodile takes about 4 hours to finish.

With the new structure it will take like 2-3 hours?.

cmon change it to the "old" one (the one it was like yesterday).

THANKS!

^^^ what has happened to the entire low-mid nightly schedule? $35 deepstack, $27ko turbo, $22 deep, $30 blue one etcetc? Maybe some stuff was overlaying or something but cut one or two of them or lower some guarantees, don't just scrap the entire thing

Guessing due to losing the Australian market? They had a large presence there noticed alot of Aussies on 888 imagine its decimated the off peak participation.
