Colette who is it that actually deals with and works on the mtt schedule? It is like you are the messenger between this thread and whoever deals with it, but not many things get changed anyway? You said before pads has more to do with the schedule, but yet here you are dealing with the questions? where is he?

It would be cool if 1 person with experience was actually working on the schedule and making the changes, but that doesn't seem like the case? Party keep making these weird decisions like adding 100 daily pko's in the schedule from out the blue? How can something so obviously stupid get passed through? Why can't you just settle with a proper schedule and stop with this weird stuff?

The schedule is still soooo dissapointing, just doesn't seem like you do the right things when it comes to this.

+1 to this. You're obviously making a lot of progress in order to give us a competitive environment, but if you don't listen to your players, you won't get too far.

dont understand why party is killing their schedule,

first stop running half of the midstakes tourneys, now the early 109s (rocky, apolo, ...) just disappear and just 2 turbos instead ...really disappointing

For lowstakes/micros ($1-$5) it is not only about pkos. Another big problem is level length because 6-8-10 min lvl are semi turbos and there are no $1-$5 regular speed tournaments in schedule. Basically you are repeating the same mistake as in late winter/early spring of 2017 when you made all $5 mtts semi turbo with short late registration and every mtt $5 overlaid. You were on the right track when you introduced current blinds with 8 minute clock and 16 lvl LR. However, you kept it for 1-2 weeks (maybe you could adjust it with 14x8 LR and 8-10 min lvl but it was not a big deal).

Kick-off events with 72 min LR does not make any sense because hardly anyone in Europe can play them. If you made them, for instance, like deepstack/marathon events they would grow. You are not fully using potential of kick-off events with $1 500, $2 750, $5 2k, $11 3k etc.

Make $1-$11 schedule something like this:
4pm cet marathon/deep stack
5pm cet regspeed pko
6pm cet regspeed warm up (or maybe deepstack)
7pm cet regspeed or semi turbo pko
8pm cet regspeed main events
9pm cet semi turbo pko (6-8-10 could work better than regspeed because most players might want slightly faster tournaments after main events)
10pm cet turbo

Please raise it with team/pads. Lack of response on tournament speed is as frustrating as on PKOs.

all of this and more, how can someone on a forum show more logic than the people that run the site? There is no creativity, you could easily have different types of mtts like marathon, deepstacks, rebuy's etc, all different kinds of buy in's and times. I'm not talking gimmicks just a more exciting schedule to play, but no it doesn't seem like the team know what the hell they are doing.

I was refunded $324 for the $215 title fight (7pm) and the $109 main event on monday.

according to the T+C's, tournaments that are still in late reg which are cancelled are refunded in the following way-

buyin + fee refunded to all players still in

prizepool generated by eliminated palyers is split between remaining participants (not sure if they mean evenly or with ICM).

support is not being helpful, as i was refunded for 3 other tournies which were not in late reg, and they keep referring to those tournaments when i ask why i wasnt refunded more than my buyins for the aforementioned tournies.

i also have a friend who was also in the $215 title fight, and he mentioned that he got a $333 refund for his $215 buyin

just posting this here in case i can get a better response than im currently getting from email + live chat support

I work with the poker team and the poker team are responsible for the schedule
Feedback is shared directly with the team for review and consideration from various groups, the player panel and these forums
Patrick is a consultant and is working alongside the poker team to improve/create the schedules however the ultimate decision making lies with the team and the poker management

Both Patrick and I will continue to monitor all threads and feedback
Comments are shared regularly for consideration

Customer support have all the info provided by the poker room for resolution
They are able to provide details - I would suggest if you have already raised it with them they will feedback when possible
Without a username I am unable to comment on a specific player issue


Thanks

Hey Colette, are FAstforward tournies possible? If so have they ever been considered?

I just wanted to open a new thread about this.
These fish PKO's are really annoying. Please reduce them vice versa, compared to original mtt's.

No fish will complain. They will love the illusion of winning 1000$ much more than 500$ and some bounties.

Please also kick in some really nice high Gtd magnets, like a 30K 1$ R/A Gtd.
People will flood your site! There are many people who would leave stars, and join party.
A daily 10K Gtd. 2$ R/A mtt on the micros should be standart, to push the traffic.

Now that you do much advertizing, you can back it up with these kind of sheudles.
Greets

PS: And one more question that I was always interested in: How is your RNG working? (Random noise, etc....) Is there an indept description or video about it?
01-04-2018 , 02:13 PM
party made some good changes , got good feedback then pulled out thor's hammer and smashed it .

16-18-20:00 CET reg speed vanilla mtts with longer late reg were great .

now if you start at 18:00 you can't even late reg the 16:00 stuff .

for some reason you guys always make extreme changes , late reg used to be like 3 hrs 20 mins ? now it's 1 hr 36 mins .

And for fvck sake , the sweet spot for PKO is $22-33 buyin yet you guys have 0 i repeat 0 PKO's with that buyin , a lot of people will bail on $11 pko because theyre a waste of time and $55 is too much .

Honestly considering withdrawing from party because of all the incompetence and indifference w/ regards to the daily schedule for <$55 mtts players .
01-04-2018 , 02:45 PM
It really is very frustrating that there are so many pkos.

Deal breaker issue for me

@Party_Rep I had 6 tables when the room crashed few days ago, but I got refunded only for two. Do I have to send a mail at the support or you can help me? My username is SandaiKitetsu

What happened to Bryan?
01-05-2018 , 06:24 AM
Let me get that right.. almost all of you guys that have been involved on 1.01.18 to that so called "technical issue" on bwin/partypoker mtt schedule have been partially refunded and at least contacted by the support right ?!?
I play at bwin sometimes for fun and neither I havent been contacted informed in any way at all nor I got refunded =)
I cintacted that night the live chat where they said that they have an problem thats it...
If I wouldnt check 2+2 for interest or the twitter account of partypoker I wouldnt have had any information about this at all
I did several live chats with them just to hear we cant give you any further information about the issue. Instead of that they were trying to offer me twice a 5 €freebet and a 5 €poker bonus which I kondyl denied but asked for a clear statement/declaration. ( I can provide the live chat protocol to prove)
So after checking it again just now the website email account + openeing the poker software itself, I havent´t received any information so far at all by bwin itself to that incident.
I will give them another chance now by comntacting again the live chat but if they keep telling me sh... like nah were sorry cant provide futher details.. we offer you another bonus to literally calm down than I am interested to go super hyper tilt on that bwin/premium support ! Not just because I am tilty about my money (account balance now >1€ , played a 2,2 $ tourney about 800 participants and only 8-9 left with me as middle position and 30 $ guaranteed and 380 $ to win )
As I am on my way and in the process of building an e commerce with trust and responsibility, I see myself very motivated in clearing this tourney mess up!
If this whole "technical issue" isnt a scam at all cuz of massive overlays in almost every tourney that day/night, than it must be a scam by bwin and may be not that much partypoker or combined or whatever
I probably havent thought about it that much if bwin support would have at least wrote me a general email or just after 4 days clear me up instead of treating me like a fool
So if anybody here also has the same problem, feel free to contact me !

Thanks in advance

May be they thought I would give up my big shot for taking ~380 $ outta 2,2$ chill and grind tourney
01-05-2018 , 11:36 AM
@Party_Rep I've reached the customer service and a kind guy showed me that I have been refunded for about 383,30€. Still feels like something is missing. Why did I not receive a detailed mail for every tournament that I've been refunded but just for 2 of them?

Your Sunday schedule is so much better than your daily schedule. It sucks only playing 2-4 tournaments a day when I try to fill up most of my screen with Party on Sundays. Get rid of all of the KO's
01-06-2018 , 12:58 PM
May i ask why everyone hates pkos when they are so fish friendly?

You can't latereg them, bounties aren't worth enough money to be interesting unless deep in a huge field and take away so much of the prizepool the FT prizes are super withered unless the field is huge.

You still have time to switch 50-80% of your pko's to freezeouts tomorrow party

Pretty much this. Add to the mix that short late reg period makes it impossible to register 2+ and often even more than one tournament at the same price point -> one can't play just on Party for MTTs. Even if you register like all 22-109 or 11-55 tournaments you still get like max 4 tables running at the beginning of session.

Haven't been playing after November. Didn't plan to play much but these changes made plan of low volume change to no volume.
