yeah I never look into the store and points ar piling up... didn't even find a mini ftops main ticket, that's probably bcs I looked when it was into latereg already, I hope???

Hi Shyam, after recently acknowledging the success of the T25 generating a good field size and prize pool, I'd like to bring attention to my recent request of changing the $10 ME rush at 20:30 ET into a rush rebuy. I now feel converting it to a turbo rush rebuy, (still ME) would be a great change for both the field size and prizes, and lastly the convenience of the tournament.

Please consider this as it should just be a minor tweak for a great improvement in all areas.

Many thanks

Why will this make it better?

Rush rebuys are more popular (see the double rush rebuys for reference)

Therefore bigger prizes = better.

It'll basically be the same tournament but upgraded w/ better prizes.

i dont know if this one works as a rebuy trn, usually the lower buyins like 2.50s and 5s work better as rebuys, they completely took that 10$ rebuy they had in the evenings out because it had always small fields and got voided sometimes even though running at the best time.

but changing it into a turbo sounds interesting, allthough not sure if it still reaches his grnt than because latereg will be shorter

edit: i think changing it from 2 to 4 entries would probably be good for this trn

But rebuys = big prizes!!

Double rush rebuys will always generate the decent field sizes.

I geuss Shyam will shed some decent light with his opinion.

If $10 is a bit too big for a rebuy, perhaps a $7.50 rebuy would be cool if that's possible. That way we have a $2.50 double rush rebuy, a $5 double rush rebuy, then a $7.50 double rush rebuy turbo.

that sounds like a good idea, a good spot for such a trn would be between the 5$ 6m rebuy at 19:40cet and the 2.5$ rebuy at 22:30cet, or between the 23:30 2.5$ rebuy turbo and the 1:45 5$ 6m

We're currently working on a deeper payout structure for both 6-max and 9-max. It's targeting paying 14-16% of the field instead of the current 9-11%. Once they're done and ready for deployment (at least a few weeks away still) we'll test them out in a few places and if they're liked we'll likely start moving most tournaments to that structure.

Yep, it's a popular idea around here as well. We were pretty close to running something like it this Summer, but it didn't come together. We have a different week long tournament series coming up at the end of the month, though!

I'm pretty sure we can't support a $25 On Demand at the moment. Even $10 feels like a stretch. I'm a bit worried a $5 would hurt the $2.50 to the point neither would run very often. We'll see how things go for a while with the current On Demand offering, and at some point may consider adding another level.

Not philosophically opposed or anything, but it would have to be a pretty great idea that got those 300-500 people to not only log in but also play other things every day.

We've lowered the min players on that to 6, hopefully it won't cancel now.

I think that was an error in the setup of that satellite. I think it's fixed now, though (at least I'm not seeing it in the $1 OD lobby).

Yeah, we do still have plans to have gear in the store. This project had momentum for a while and then just recently got put on hold again to make way for higher priority things. It'll get done eventually, though.

No MiniFTOPS tickets specifically, but all of the buyins for MiniFTOPS can be purchased in the store as generic Tournament Tickets and used just fine.

A $10 rebuy is almost definitely too big for that time slot. $2.50 or $5 might work, but there's already a $2.50 Rush Rebuy an hour later (that only gets a $500 guarantee). I think we're going to leave this one a freezeout for now, but we may change our minds at some point.

Will Progressive Knockouts ever be available?
Also, any plans on improving the Omaha 08 schedule? If you improve the 08 mtt schedule im sure the cash games would also improve, I log on less and less now there's so little 08 there.

The $50 1.5k in the euro morning says it is a turbo but has 10/12/15 min levels

I see the 10er if back to full ring.

However it still needs to be 'dressed up' with more attraction and bigger prizes. Perhaps multi entry might be suitable to generate a bigger field size, and as people have mentioned before, a fancy name etc.

Suggestions are welcome please.

Ok Shyam ,whats your plan to bring back rec players to Fulltilt ??

pls don`t

Please keep the steeper payouts, more money up top is terrific, it leads to so many more interesting spots late. Anyone who disagrees needs to start playing to win.

Nobody suggesting they go as far as party, but more similar to stars is better IMO.

Idk I just feel like 9-11% is perfect as is and differentiates the site nicely from stars. But obviously you have a point too

I hate to sound like a broken record Shyam, but I have to somewhat disagree with the "$10 rebuy is 'too big' for that time slot"

With a rebuy and turbo format added, on top of multiple entries, this tournament will at the least draw a 1k top prize, which is very good for that time slot.

To make sure the tournament runs, perhaps making the min entrants low would be suitable, although I don't feel this would even be a problem.

Can we perhaps 'trial' it at the very least, and if I'm wrong then apologies on my behalf.

For your benefit, this will be my last post on the request lol.

Thanks.

Fwiw, I think it works best in the biggest mtt's. Sunday majors in particular and M/FTOPS

In other words, those with the most satty entrants.

I luckily opened FTP client after ages and I'm seeing that this week's gotw is NL 2-7SD , very happy to see this game back. I wouldn't have come to know about this had I not opened my client as you had removed this game from your schedule and from your gotw games list. Did you make a post about this that you have added NL 2-7sd to your gotw list or did I miss your post coz Im not following this thread anymore? Nonetheless very happy to see it back

Shyam, what's up with not being able to transfer funds back and forth between FTP and PS now as you wish? After Saturday, I transferred most of my funds back to Stars and just left on what I needed for Sunday, bricked the lot on Sunday and then went to send back from Stars today and it said I couldn't "withdraw" since I had "deposited" within 48 hours. I haven't deposited on Stars and I wasn't trying to withdraw. This was never an issue before, just curious why this has been implemented now.

Shyam is it possible to put a guarantee on 5$ 2-7 TD NL? It hasn't had over 10 players playing it in over a year ( used to be 3.3$ ) and it gets voided 95% of the time. It used to be my favourite tournament and now it's just a distant memory...

Late reg should be by time and not by levels , it takes a while to find out when will the late reg end

Haven't played on Full Tilt in months. Earlier tonight (at Euro prime time) I had some free screen space so for some strange reason I decided to fire up Full Tilt to check out what's going on. Was looking for a decent non-gimmicky tournament in the range from $10 to $25. Not much except Triceratops. It's such a shame. Just saying...

Can you please bring back the Nine Lives tourney? I know Five by Five has replaced its time slot, but it would probably still work well an hour or two hours later. Start with $500 guarantee, see how it works.

Yup, they killed it. There's very little for me to play there now. Are they on the same drugs as the people over at PartyPoker?
