this!

FLO8 time is good imho, PLO(8) and NLO8 however might be better off starting 1 hour later.

And satellites ofc...

A quick note on the Daily $27s which are on the way. They're still on the way, but they won't be coming today as originally planned. There will be a bit of a delay, which should hopefully only be a couple of days.

Which $27's are these Bryan (or anyone), what format?

Must have missed an update.

Congratulations on your 1000th post.

Daily $27 regards to this

I had a go at proposing a new NLH "red tournament" schedule. Obviously this is just an example but I think it offers lots of benefits.

- It doesn't change the schedule too much, almost all current tournaments are in either the same spots or virtually the same.
- It makes the red tournaments a bit less random/more organised. In the proposed schedule reg speeds are on the hour, turbos (& threw in some hypers) are on the half hour. And this is every hour throughout the day.
- It pads out the off-peak schedule a fair bit which has been suggested many times in the thread
- Potential room for a Big $215 in spot near to what has been suggested, and also a Hot $215 in a nice spot (I thought you could swap the 7.45pm $215 turbo for the $109 cubed turbo at 9.30pm).
- Euro and Pacific Nightlys added; Euro Nightlys suggested in thread recently, and helps Bigs keep unique buy-ins (Don't have to have the Big $18 or whatever).

Haha, ty.
Had no idea the landmark was coming but really plesaed it wasn't a completely pointless post. Glad I used it well.

As much as the Nighttime needs something, it probably cannot support a sponsored tourney with the frequency that the daytime can.

This is true, but if you look I made most of the off-peak stuff completely bowl. The Big $3.30 gets ~2500 runners daily, so I think it can sustain multiple bowlaments.

love the look of that schedule, but i would change the euro nightlies to $33 and $11, i think those are better price points.

Agree with that although I would prefer it to be full ring. But definitely a Sunday major PSKO with the structure of the KO week ME would be great!

+1

Hey Bryan, any comments on this please? It definitely seems like there are lots of people advocating for this to change.

add it to the 11+ aswell, maybee the sat super ko

I mostly like this! Especially the Pacific targeted stuff (1am - 10am)

Part of the reason that tournament gets so many runners is because there is limited selection. If you fire off a red tournament every 30 minutes at that time the field sizes for everything else would dwindle. Most of the players at those stakes are one tabling.

+1

In reality there is very little to steal traffic from. Is this guy say 1 or 2 tabling the big 3 now not going to flick in the $77 turbo or is it unrelated? Maybe now he 3 tables and flicks in an extra red tourney or two, who's to say?

I understand what you're saying, and maybe you're right, but I don't think you can predict the impact as though it is fact. Or even if it is fact, maybe it's better having a decent red bowlament than 2 or 3 non red bowlaments anyway. On the other hand maybe such changes tie people in to play for longer. Maybe more off peak reds encourages traffic and other field sizes increase. I realise you can over dilute things, but I can only imagine that any reasonable red tournament that Stars throws out there will just crush regardless.

Maybe the off peak sched goes a touch overboard just to keep the idea of every half an hour going, but whilst I'm not suggesting it's perfect I feel like the proposed sched/the ideas within it hit a lot of target areas.

If i remember correctly I don't think they are going to "red" any other tournament for now. But they would keep evaluating on 2015

I'd say that your a bit too optimistic here... Maybe remove a few of them... I agree that this time of the day is dead and definatly need some changes.

Is there any sense in deploying a multi-day mtt, where you can play the day 1 on stars and FTP aswell?

Bryan can you look @ putting a GTD on the $13.75 Turbo KO that runs @ the same time as Hot $2. Thanks.

I see a lot of people itt demanding even more red labeled tourneys; i don't think thats a good idea.

Why are you demanding this? Because the non-reds get less runners, a worse reg/rec ratio, and in effect lowered guarantees. I get that, but isn't it really short-sighted? Because every added red tourney cannibalises the regular mtts even more.

Just look at PS.fr, they had always more reds than .com, and now there isn't a single non-red tourney worth to play anymore on the whole site.

Isn't this a vicious circle?

Last 2 109 freezeouts I snap bust the 600bb level....... This has to changeeee its so devastating!

I dont agree with this, most of the non-red tourneys are already regfests and small already. So by making for example some rebuys or cubes red, it will certainly increase the prizepools and wont affect the non-reds so much/if at all .
