There is a unicorn tournament

wtf is a grand prize ticket I have 3?

See post number 1517

Not that I'm complaining because I am taking great advantage of the minimal traffic, but the last few guarantees I have registered for were no where close to reaching the minimum number of participants for the site to break even. The traffic on the MTT tourneys has gone downhill a lot lately. I think people see the redo of the site as a gimmick.

Every tourny I see in my filtered lobby hit the GTD. Which ones didn't?

Well yesterday alone I played in the following

$200 guarantee, $3 + .30, 54 entrees = $162
$750 guarantee Hi/Low: $10 + 1, 46 entrees = $460
$100 guarantee: $2 + .20, 37 entrees = $74
$150 guarantee: $3 + .30, 45 entrees = $135

So you might look at the smaller ones and say it's not bad but the $750 guarantee was so bad...not that I mind since I shipped it.

Yea FTP has basically no marketing right now and it shows.

anyone with this error ?

We've done a little cleaning, but it needs more. It's definitely on the to-do list.

We're going with noon ET for this. 6K starting chips, 4 hours of late reg, and a $100K guarantee. We'll see how it goes from there.

This was changed a few weeks ago. Seems to be doing well so far.

We'll make sure the LHE FTOPS event isn't Rush next time.

When we first designed sync breaks, we looked into how many players were multi-tabling tournaments vs. only ever single tabling. With that information, we had to decide who to "upset" more, the single tablers who would be annoyed at going on break right after their tournament started, or the multi-tablers who would be annoyed that they couldn't enter a tournament that started near the break time without losing their break. We opted for the latter, since if you really want to make sure you have your break you can always late reg for the tournaments that start so close to the break.

However, there's always room for improvement, so if anyone has any suggestions that would make everyone happier (without making other players unhappy), we're definitely listening.

The $4.40s were going off often enough that it didn't seem needed. If that's changed and everyone would prefer we made them re-entry as well, we can do that.

Both of those $109s seem to be doing well, although the MET is doing much better than the rebuy. We do run sats to the Turbo Multi-Hundo, by the way. If we changed the rebuy to a $216 turbo freezeout, wouldn't that still be the exact same group? Or are you suggesting we just drop the rebuy?

Do you have specific times in mind? I'm dubious we could hit those guarantees late at night with our current playerbase, but if there was a good time to experiment, we'd try something out probably and see what kind of demand there was.

We do do this, don't we?


Have you gotten more used to it? I'm hoping it's just the fact that it was a large change from what it used to be that was throwing you off. I don't think it's a great idea to move the buyin column to the left of the name, because then you're moving it further away from the prize pool column, and other than non-NLH tournaments (where knowing what the game is is obviously very important), the most important pieces of information are the tournament types icons, the buyin, and the prize pool.

I do think we can change "$25K" to be "$25,000" and it will fit (although 6 and 7 figure prize pools will likely still need to be abbreviated), so we're looking into doing that.

Are you on a mac or windows machine? Could you grab a screenshot of what you're seeing so I can pass it along? There might be a font issue somewhere.

Yep, that's correct.

Yes indeed, the winner of those 4 tournaments get to use those avatars. It's a $8.70 (use your Step 2 tickets!) turbo every day at 16:00 ET, and it goes like this:

Mon/Thu – The Crocodile
Tue/Fri – The Bald Eagle
Wed/Sat – The Walrus
Sunday – The Unicorn

Thanks again for all of the feedback. We added nearly 30 new daily guarantees last week to fill in a bunch of the holes (with the above Avatar tournaments, daily Game of the Week guarantees, and new Escalator, Irish, and 5 Card Stud guarantees).

There are still plenty of tweaks to be made I'm sure, so keep giving the feedback (how do you all like Escalators by the way, does the progression feel smooth?) and we'll keep monitoring how things are going.

Wow long response Shyam, il read it later when im done playing. Thanks for taking the time

One quick thing is that I think you should try and lower the buy-in for Friday Night Fight, right now it has 128 people (this is while ftops is going on) and I got reg notes on about a 100 of them. Thats not to say that some tournament cant consistent of a higher proportion of professionals but it seems to clear to me that it doesn't appeal as much to the avg grinder as it used to.

A turbo version of the double deuce for sundays, same price or $11

Also make it clear which tournaments are your flagship ones in the client, in emails and on site.
Example, right now the double deuce is the same colour as other tournaments thats hold a 2k guarentee, this shouldnt be the case.

I think if you did this then there could b a reg speed, turbo and rebuy flagship series.

like the changes so far...agree with mement..maybe change friday night fight to 320 with 100 going to ko and 200 to prize pool...20 towards rake or soemthing like that.

Saturdays you guys should really attack and make your own..i'd put some kind of 100 rebuy on there near the 1k and like a 216 turbo or something..there is a big opportunity for tilt to make saturdays there version of stars sundays.

fyp..

and yeah. def would get more played, def a fan of it.

I do think that its a matter of time and promotion for the 500 version to become popular again.

It doesn't really make sense to continue to charge higher rake than everywhere else in higher buyin MTTs when ftp fields are tougher than all the other sites...

This is true...with no more pro bounties and a reward system capped at 27%, what am I getting for my extra $50-$100/month?

avatars

sigh at the new schedule

sounds perfect. whats the deal with satellites too

I recently got my address updated from EU to .COM software but the support must have forgotten to make the change somewhere because it doesn't let me log in to .COM (says I still got an EU account).

However I can still log in to .EU but it´s not letting me register anything due to restricted access.

Anyone else had the same problem while making the switch? And have the ftp support improved since the Stars takeover? (can I expect to get this sorted within 2013)

I late regged the double deuce(given that its a 3x multi entry, shouldn't it be called the triple deuce?) and got starting stack + 1M on all of my tables when I was seated. None of them were in the small blind so it was not merely that I got walked on my first hand. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about the free equity, but I figured it might be an issue that hasn't been mentioned.

Haha starting stack is 3220.

It's just got a weird starting stack. I'm usually too cute by half when I set something like that up, sorry for the confusion.

Sooooooooo....getting disconnected along with half the rest of the table in the FTops 322$, with 200 people remaining,while right in the middle of a hand that I otherwise woulda won, isn't too fun... Any compensation for such a thing?

Same 5 min break issue with the ROD's. I reg for them and sometimes they go off right before a break...so then I have x tables on break and 1 table just starting...Not sure what is the ideal but Im good with a 5 min break at 55 no matter if just going off or not...just my thoughts.

Also the Irish tournaments are great but they need to be more turbo options. . .5-6 hours for a 3$ irish tournament is not my "craic"

wow 5 card stud is the most boring game ever
