Deadline sats :

1. Sync Breaks !
2. Start them earlier, they should finish 15-20mins after target tourney starts ideally. 30min is passable, more is way too much.
3. Lower rake please.

the warmup wcoop event needs x3 sats, not enough chances to get in this event today

7 x $714 satellites is a little excessive!


Not sure how you guys manage to make so many rudimentary mistakes with the sat lobby when I do/can basically spell it all out for you.

there are no step 6 2100 euro sngs today. my guess is you are out of hotel rooms. but please put up a 3 seat ONLY gtd 2100 step today. thanks.

jd

Can you put the Sunday Million $74s back in please? When the Supersonic starts there will be no $74s in the lobby (the highest volume games >$10)

ST 1kFPP rebuy sat is still at min 27 players!

Did someone say Hyper Turbo Step SNGs?

Yeah only you.

i don't get how this mistake is made every single time an ept stop comes up. right now there are no euro step 6's. this is because there are no more hotel nights in barca. so..seems simple to me. put up a 2100 euro 3 seat only gtd...this should be automated in the future so that this happens everytime. right now ther eis no way to run your steps up other than to play a 700 one seat only..seems silly.

Thank you for rolling out some of the 10bb 6max hyper sats at each BI level when you rolled out the WCOOP tournament schedule; August is usually quite the dead month for sat traffic but this should ramp it up quite nicely.

Plz continue to listen to the feedback daddyrnac, myself and other sat regs give; we really do know what's best when it comes to this withered format

My only suggestion would be to only allow for 1 lobby to each WCOOP event until about 3-5 days before the event, then revert to the 1 lobby showing with 2 more behind per the norm....3 for each event right now is overkill and is going to make the sat lobby look really cluttered at times

once again, no normal (non-WCOOP) sats are in the lobby for some reason. please add them back in (million, s500 sko, kickoff etc)

Also, it's like a month to go until WCOOP, there's no need to have THREE of every satellite in the lobby. One of each would be fine.

The benefits of this are:

1. Recs are less intimidated because regulars wont need to open sit as many games
2. Recs are able to find the games they want to play more easily as the lobby is less crowded
3. Regulars can load games more easily as there will be less games they need to register in the lobby

By all means make sure there are THREE to every MTT within THREE hours of the MTT starting. Obviously the Sunday Million needs 3 all week due to it's popularity, but most sats would be better only arriving in the lobby 3-5 hours before the target MTT imo.

Must say it's great to see $16 and $27 deep sats to the 109s and 215s not just running every hour but also generating a load of seats. Hope to see $82 deeps to the $700s soon!

WCOOP sats are awesome, especially the deep ones. Can you add more of the deep and 2x turbo sats off peak? from hot 22 to big 33 as it is unless you play the 3x turbo only around 3-4 go off.

Cheers!

+1 on the deep sats. they are a nice change from all the 2x and 3x turbos.

would be great to have a few 82s/109s to stuff like the 2k wcoop, the 320s during wcoop challenge were a bit high buyin-wise (~95% regs) to provide good fields

The Deep satellites are proving to be very popular. I expect to run a lot of these in this year's qualifying period.

I tend to agree with most of what you wrote, and will be passing it along to the person responsible for managing our WCOOP S&G satellite portfolio. Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful analysis, it's greatly appreciated.

While we're offering some satellites in off-peak hours, right from the get-go, I'm afraid that you won't see too many "risky" satellites at such times until we get much closer to the series. That's not to say that we won't have any Deep satellites at such times... we certainly will!... just not as many or as in heavy a rotation as at other times of day.

The variety in satellite types (and satellite targets) will continue to increase as we get later and later in the month.

Thank you for the feedback, everyone... please keep it coming!

@satellite lobby

Not sure if you ever got this email (I included an 'ATTN Bryan' in the subject), but yea, it seems daddy and I are thinking the same thing and if you're agreeing, lets get this done!

Here's a c/p of what I emailed in with

Bryan,

This is going to be a long message but I think it's very important and could hugely affect mid-HS satellite traffic to the upcoming WCOOP series.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for releasing a variety of 6max hyper sat SNGs to each different buyin tier of WCOOP events. I think it was truly a very smart decision and will make August, which is known to be a pretty slow month for hyper sat traffic, have some great mid-hs action!

My only concern is the clutter of the satellite lobby. Here is what the lobby looks like (also attached):



That is far too many lobbies! And the craziest thing is on Saturday/Sunday there will be many more satellites offered in the lobby (specifically $74s) which will further clutter it to something I don't even want to imagine!

My personal opinion, which is shared by many other hyper sat regulars, is that this clutter deters recreational players from playing the format. Can you imagine a rec clicking the satellite lobby and seeing that? That has to be so overwhelming as it's semi-overwhelming to myself!

I like the new lobby spawning system where only 1 lobby shows up until someone registers and then a new lobby spawns, capping at 2 or 3 (speaking $56+ 6max hyper sats only). BUT, we are a month off of WCOOP starting and there is no need for this many lobbies right now. My personal opinion is that there should be a 1 lobby cap for any tournament that is starting 1 or more days in the future. Then once the target tournament is 24 hours or sooner, I think the lobby cap should never exceed 3 (which seems to be the 'standard' number of lobbies offered) besides the SWU/Mil; those two specific tournaments could have more (maybe 6?) the 1-2 hours before the tournament starts since the satellites run so often to those two tournaments at that point.

The changing of the number of lobbies has to be relatively quick and easy considering I watched it change in real time this weekend grinding WCOOP Challenge sats. I'd highly suggest doing something about it or I fear there will be less traffic than there would be otherwise; at the moment this is just absolute overkill!

Thanks for taking a look at this and seriously, a HUGE thank you for releasing WCOOP satellites this early; these are some of the most prestigious tournaments of the year and there is no reason for satellites to not be deployed as soon as the tournaments hit the Event tab.

Can you run some x3 fpp sats directly too weekly majors and series events like wcoop.

All you seem to offer for x3 fpp is megapath but that route takes alot of time and effort

Running 50fpp or 100fpp x3 sats direct to the mill every 1 or 2 hours would be a nice start

huge +1 to this. I'd also like to see 3xt sats for FPPs to the daily Bigs and Hots. I know there are micro ones for like 5fpps to the storm, so why not repeat the format for all stakes (10fpp 3xts to the Big and Hot $22, 25fpps to the $55, 75fpps to the $162 etc)
You could even make the first seat won a must play!

Would def. like Stars to incorporate FPP's into more sats. If it's any indication the LAPT has been using FPP sats for some time and this tour has done extremely well the past few years both Live and for online Sats.

2.22 2x turbos to the mil

min entrants 3


how complicated is it


have these overlayed once this year?. id say No

are 20% of them canceled, Yes

Thanks for responding, every sat in off peak hours has easily gone past the 1 seat guarantee. You could easily have a 27 & 16 deep + 3 rebuy 2x hourly. What about some deep hyper sats?

+1 to jdawg's most recent post. It seems like the Sunday Million sats run pretty consistently so if there's ever one that would need more than 3 lobbies it would be that. The rest (besides Sunday kickoff and lower) is just 1-4 regs waiting for the games to fill up. Since I'm assuming most regs use some sort of script to auto-register 20+ games at once, you may as well limit the # of lobbies to all non Sun mil/Kickoff etc. to 1-2 and expand SM/KO to 6 depending on how close it is to the start of the event. So just +1 to jdawg and daddyrnac.

Also wouldn't like to see some hyper turbo 2x-3x satellites down the road, especially to the sunday million/warmup etc. Obviously the rebuy period would be something like 20 mins for a 2x and 30 mins for a 3x or something but they'd be immediate gold, and you could run tons of them 3-4 hours before the target event.

€215 live events players choice sats really dont need such a deep structure, they start late in the schedule and the structure is actually a disincentive to play them. would be much better with a similar structure to wcoop deep sats.

There definitely ought to be $82 deep sats to the $700 and $1k WCOOPs, even if you only run like 2 or 3 a day at peak times for now
