Hi all,
Apologies for the long radio silence. A combination of holidays and non-MTT related busyness.

Yep, that would require no development. I'm just dubious that it would see a real increase in interest for the tournament. I have zero doubt that PSKOs will do that, and they're definitely in the pipeline for development. We'll look into experimenting with a regular SKO and see how it goes, though.

How about a Flipout Series?
I'd say a Flipout series is unlikely, but we will be having more smaller series. The next one will be in September, in fact.

At the moment, yes. We have pretty big changes coming in the weeks and months ahead that look to address that, though. Plenty of people will hate the changes, of course, so I think it's fair to expect an even bigger drop in players in the short term. But hopefully that's followed by actual, real, honest, growth.

Similarly to the Super stack $10 $4k Guarantee at 11:00 ET, I feel a $10 multi entry (Deep stack, not super stack) at 16:00 ET (with a moderately good prizepool) would be a good addition. The time slot seems perfect for such an addition, especially for those who don't want to play the $10 turbo that runs.
And with the ever so popular rush rebuys, yet the shortage of slightly higher buy in versions, perhaps (if possible) a $7.50 rush rebuy at 18:30 ET would be a nice addition to round off the day of rush rebuys. As with previous opinions and results from past versions, a $10 rush rebuy didn't seem to run, however a $7.50 seems like a perfect amount to both still lure in the players and appeal to those who want a slightly higher buy in. I'm wondering if there's any other stipulations that could be added to generate higher prizes but the only thing that comes to mind is making it a multi entry. (Suggestions are welcome)
Thanks

If possible, I'd love to have a say in organizing it.
Thanks
Just wanted to let you know that your suggestions are being read. It's unlikely we'll be acting on them at the moment, since things are quite in flux and at the moment it's hard to really add things to the schedule. One day I hope to be able to entertain these kinds of ideas again, though!

How much before the Brawl? 2 hours? A once a week sort of thing like this sounds like a decent test of the SKO idea.

We're skipping the August/September running this year to make room for the previously mentioned big changes. We should get one towards the end of the year, though.

Whoops, I think that was a mistake. Added it back for tomorrow, sorry about that.

Probably not, given the current MTT SNG offering.

I agree no MTT player will care about any changes if we have a crappy MTT schedule, but other types of players will definitely care about the changes, regardless of what the MTT schedule looks like.
That being said, we don't want to have a crappy MTT schedule, and will keep working on it regardless of anything else going on with the site. Yes, it keeps getting worse at the moment in terms of guarantees. And if I had to guess I would say it's going to keep getting worse in the short term. However, longer term there's a decent shot at actual growth, and with that will come a more diverse schedule and bigger guarantees.
