I think there were again 2-3 major lags today at the very exact times as last week, with only one being a bit odd at 15:15ET (only $7.50 Bounty Builder starts then, that shouldn't be the reason?)

How come they never respond to these complaints about lagging? (rhetorical question)

180-player Christmas Calendar day promo sounds good. Unlike the previous win two double daily jackpot even though it was awarding $1m jackpot which was impossible to win.

Also I hope when the 180 player Christmas Calendar day promo ends, it would be nice if you guys let us know how many players and how much they won.

Very distasteful sarcasm.

No, it was very fitting... in sharp contrast to your dispensable attempt at trying to show off how politically correct you are.

How would day 1 be structured so that you could buyin on day 2 with 15bb? Either day 1 would be a very short day or stacks would be insanely deep. Neither of these seem good.

10,000
25/50-6 16 mins
60bb 16 mins
70 18
80 18
90 18
100 20
120 20
160 20
200 22
240 22
300 22
400 24
500 24
600 24
End of day 1, 4h44 plus breaks
700 25 mins

would help if i knew off the top of my head how long day 1 usually lasts currently. someone at stars should be more than capable of structuring this anyway its not up to me

antes should def be changed from 20% of bb either way, that's forcing things a bit too much imo.

day 1 end time is currently based off players remaining (36 iirc, maybe varys based on field) rather than levels. agree switching to a level system with longer early levels and late reg open till start of day 2 would be nice

Also while I'm all for the 8-max format, it might seem a little intimidating to some?

I prefer putting multiple Day 1s. At least one more on Friday for those who take Saturday off.

Late regging a $500 tournament with 15-20 bigs looks too gamblish. I will never reg on Sunday at least.

Wasn't one of the points of making the Weekender was to get HS players playing on Saturday tho? What's the point of running this as an attempted major if it cannot influence play in it's target market?
