- Satellites seem to be even worse than before, omg, hows that possible..
- No more small field tournaments.
- No HU tournaments.
- No 4max tournaments.
- No phase tournaments.

Just for example how bad it is, take a look at todays schedule.
THERE IS ONE FREEZOUT TOURNAMENT BETWEEN 13:00 CET and 23:00 CET.
I get it that is KO Monday but come on guys, ARE YOU FOR REAL?!?!
I have a solution to help, but they keep hiring people making/adjusting schedule for reasons that are beyond mind-blowing. I will not give everything away for free (contact me if interested in gaining a competitive advantage)...

Mondays are usually slow across all sites, this is an opportunity to pounce. Keep a wide variety available on Monday with decent gtds from 16:00 to 24:00 time slots. Currently Party is pigeon-holed into this PKO Monday schedule... there are some that enjoy this format, but not enough to make a dent in taking market shares away from competition.

Here is a unique idea... Rotate a two special MTTs into the 19:00 and 21:00 time slot on Mondays. Keep it hidden until 2hrs before reg time. Make them juicy, vary format from week to week. You want to draw players to login just to give it a peek... once they have looked, Party has won 1/2 the battle (getting players to login on Mondays).

Anyways, based on yesterdays catastrophe during the main events (server 'hiccups' when gtds not met, so tournaments get cancelled and protect Party's assets) AND the anti-climatic "wait and TRUST ME" schedule I'm probably taking my business else where (winamax, unibet, etc) to replace these games.

Pads & Collette:
Please explain how the PKO bounties be distributed and paid in the $50 PKO (believe there were 39 remaining). Equal distribution seems unfair as there could be a player with a single KO and another with 15 KOs putting in the work and risk to earn those KOs. Once there is a fair method to resolve (ie. Everyone keeps their bounty) and distributes remaining prize pool based on chip distribution... when do we expect these to hit our accounts?

2P2 readers, Party is a publicly traded company. If you have a trading acct, you may consider shorting their stock with these tactics they are pulling and negative direction this company is heading. It trades as GVC on London Stock Exchange

I was hoping for more variety, more PLO/PLO8 and finally some PKO PLO/PLO8 tournaments but you managed to even reduce the former very low offering for that games.

I dont get it, the 11$ PLO8 tournaments with 500$ pricepool often reach over 2000$ but nobody at Party gives a ****.

For how long players begging for more PLO8? 1 year? 2 years?

Hire Talonchick, let her create a PLO8/NLO8 schedule and let her stream!

so is this seriously the final schedule? the one pads has been telling us to keep waiting for? please confirm this.

I knew it would be a huge disappointment, once again you are copy and pasting tournaments throughout the schedule, bounty hunters on repeat every 2 hours, almost everyday is the same except for the 6-max Wednesdays, and this is what you tell us to wait for? its a slap in the face.

Even the tournaments such as kick offs, warm ups, main events etc are all the same as each other ffs, what is this obsession you have with making so many of your tournaments identical? once again there is just no variety and it looks like another boring schedule.

yeah, as expected nothing happened, pads will give us a new date to look forward to, not buying that anymore. I'll maybe have a look once a week to see of things continue being horrible.

I understand intention of creating " thematic" schedule but so far it looks to me little bit over the line. Why do u think that people wants to play only KOs whole day?
Or 6max wendsday is another piece of crap, it may fit to some recs who play 3-4 tables, but in this way you are completely same as pokerstars, who dont care about regs. I just want to see people playing 7-8 or more 6max tables. Its just dont make sense, its fine to mix 6max because of its variety and better dynamics with some full ring tables. But why do u think that only 6max whole day is the way to go ?

Fridays are same as mondays but in 6max version, again all day long KOs. You can make a vote but im pretty sure that people would welcome little variety in schedule.


And can somebody explain what those smooth tournaments are? Or its just label and its same as normal FO ?

Smooth tournaments start on 50bbs rather than 100 or more - allows for more play in the 25-30bb range at all times, allows for better finish times and could encourage more recs to play from the very beginning - cool concept

"Nice and easy going, that's the strategy for Saturday, with a lineup of tourneys featuring a 50 big blind structure that allows for plenty of smooth playing."

That's from promo page for Smooth Saturday - guess we'll find out later on in the week!

ok, so i m not mad or blind, you saw the same thing.... and a tendency to segment players by day according to their taste.... suicide.....
Bigger gtd s are good but means more players, means structure are useless right now so almost for all 12MIN levels have to be 2 days events omg...
again 5x gap between buy ins, why not, but then F.... ORGANIZE SATS FOR BIGGER BUY IN S !!!! i m happy to play a bounty 22$/55$ coming from a sat..... JIZZZ WAKE UP PP !!!

Someome with a brain . WINAMAX has it in a format called sunday special. there is a surprise gift for top 3 coming randomly every week completing the pay outs .... huge success for many years.....just as an example.....

For what i see from other feedbacks so far, we noticed, the copy-paste pattern bounty H -Daily MTT-Majors with some salt-sugar-chili added every day .... Nobody is blind...... BTW your cash game traffic is down as well ..... u have to sack people serioulsy....... URGENTLY

All - I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the partypoker downtime last night. This was caused by a malfunction in one of our servers that resulted in the system crashing at around 8pm GMT. We have identified the issue, the problem has been rectified, refunds are being processed and tighter procedures have been implemented to ensure this doesn’t happen again. It was a disaster for us as well as the players, the night of our biggest ever PKO tournaments and on the eve of the launch of our new Power Series. I understand that some players may not immediately return to partypoker given their experiences in the last 24 hours and I expect to see some sizeable overlays in the new Power Series MTTs that run from today. We will run the new Power Series as advertised and will not be reducing guarantees.
We will be adding additional MTTs and increased guarantees to next Sunday’s Power Series schedule to ensure players do not miss out on the headline KO Series MTTs that were running yesterday when the system crashed. In total, we will be adding almost $2,000,000 to next Sunday’s guaranteed prizepools:
•We will add a $1,000,000 guaranteed, $5,200 buy-in PKO at 7pm GMT
•We will boost the advertised Power Series 7pm GMT $215 buy-in, $200,000 guaranteed Super Sunday Bounty Hunter to a $1,000,000 prizepool. This will run alongside the 5pm GMT $215 buy-in, $500,000 guaranteed Super Sunday Main Event.
•We will double the Power Series 7pm GMT Super Sunday Bounty Hunter $55 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed to $200,000 guaranteed
•We will increase the guaranteed prizepool in the $11 buy-in 7pm GMT Bounty Hunter from $20,000 to $50,000
•We will increase the 7pm GMT $2.20 buy-in Bounty Hunter prizepool from $5,000 to $20,000
•The 3 cancelled ladies KO events from yesterday will run next Sunday at 7pm GMT and will replace the new ladies Power Series MTTs for this week only.


Our teams are working hard now to clear all of the cancelled tournaments from last night and will return funds to customers as quickly as they can over the next 24 hours. We can only apologize for ruining what was a huge Sunday for you and us, but please bear with us as we do our best to rectify this situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Many thanks
Tom Waters

Let's start a day with 6-max PKO MTT with 16 min blinds? Very hard format to multi-table too. Does anyone really like this kind of format with such an ridiculously overextended blind levels that are in use every day? Even some medium-sized "turbo" tournaments last like 6 hours.

I think first day of new tournament schedule points it clearly that Party should sack Leonard and get anyone else to do a new (or just revert to some old with updated guaranteeds) schedule. Last schedule Party run was worst by then but this Monday schedule makes even it look so much better.

Very disapointed that there is not even 1 turbo or a game with 8 min levels or whatever, that finishes within 5-8 hrs between 2 and 9pm CET,

Not everybody wants to play looooooooooong sessions...

I am assuming the daily $22 plo's are going to return in some fashion? They almost always exceeded the gtds by 25% at least and seemed like they were drawing new players to the game at a pretty good rate. Also obviously +1 to hoping that plo8 or nlo8 ends up on the schedule with at least one tourney per day that is >$11 buyin.

Thanks!
