We've thought of something like that in the past, but haven't implemented anything like it so far. We may yet in the future, but there are no plans to do so at this time.

The above mentioned tournament (04:30 ET $13.50 KO Turbo) has been updated to have a $1,000 guarantee, effective tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I hope that everyone who plays in it enjoys the added incentive to play.

Now it's gonna be hard to be one of the first 360 to reg. Wp, keep it up.

Yes Bryan!

please get rid of the 56 level structure with the 100/200 no antes it just shouldnt be happening in this day and age.

All mtt with antes around the 30/60 40/80 level and all with T500

possibly look at giving 180s the earlier antes too as its just a massive nit fest at 100/200 no antes

TYTY.

Even if you are just telling us an idea sucks and why, or offering random conversation starters to the thread. It is definitely better than complete absence. The last month and a half has been the complete opposite to your participation in the months beforehand. Hopeful that you can pull it back big fella! <3. Looking forward to offering ideas and getting some improvements made in 2015!
+1, well said, as usual. I know you have to be quite busy, but just popping in once a week, at least, and making a short post I think would please a lot of people.

Agree with these guys completely



Thanks for the both the long post and for continuing to make positive changes to the schedule, even if they aren't happening as fast as many of us would like (gotta point out the positives with how negative I usually am ).

As someone mentioned, both WPN and True are doing something like OurSurveySays suggested, raising guarantee by $X each time it hits the guarantee. I really think the 50r, if you gave us time to spread the word to other mtt regs, would be a great candidate and think we could get it back to being a huge daily MTT with a guarantee AT LEAST matching Party's 25k on their daily 50r.

probably because bigs need to have a special structure, being special tourneys and all?

Whoo, Bryan is back.

While you are here, can you look into adding a midstake freezout/KO/PSKO around 2pm CET?
I would start my schedule 1 hour earlier if there was something, not only the $11+R and $11+R Action hour.

Thanks in advance, please keep us updated more regularly in the future.

Other tournaments share their structure tho (265 KO, 11$ 10k, nightlies, pacific rim etc).
01-08-2015 , 01:26 PM
the damn guarantees moving every day really torpedoes the effectiveness of the favorites tab Bryan


basically some % of your favorites disappear each and every week
01-08-2015 , 02:00 PM
Alternate the SuperSonic from six max to full ring??
01-08-2015 , 02:12 PM
You keep talking about the GTds being reduced because numbers not being reached, can you sho us proof of that?

I pretty much remember gtds being reached everyday as i Play almost everyday and ould 100 percent take notice them not being reached.

Around Vamo Cup all the GTds got smaller im like ok really vamos create this much action?

Never did they return to the same..... Serioulsy Looook at all the Gtds some of them are just getting smasheddd and ould only get higher if you raised them........ Promise lol

Good job listening to the people Bryan. Sadly for me I was in the tiny minority that liked the structural variety of this particular tournament.

Yeh don't make every tourney deeper slower structure

Like the 8cubed , don't change that , I like that shallow mid/endgame structure in a cubed which starts off pretty slow

I have absolutely no reason to either lie to this forum or alter tournaments without justification for doing so. (I've got quite enough on my plate without creating work for myself when there's no reason to undertake a particular task.) When I say that tournament guarantees are lowered in response to participation drops, that's the case.

As for the World Cup reductions, in many cases the guarantees have gone back up, but not in all cases. The guarantees are reviewed on a continual basis. When there is room for a guarantee to go up, based on numbers which indicate that a raised guarantee is sustainable and will be reached consistently, then the guarantee goes up.

Now that we're safely through the tumultuous holiday period, another guarantee review, which should include raising some guarantees, should take place within a week or two. I'm looking forward to bumping up any guarantees which can withstand such an increase... as I always look forward to doing. Raising guarantees makes me happy, as I have said repeatedly... because it means that the tournament(s) in question are doing well. We have raised many guarantees over the last six months, and I look forward to raising more, as well as to creating new tournaments, new opportunities for players to have fun in our games.

Thanks as always for the feedback; please keep it coming.

We're aware of it. At present, the only solution is for more people to show up earlier, or perhaps to have a different pay table in place. There is a lot on the development plate; I'm sure that this particular issue is on the list, but I'm equally sure that it's behind a lot of other issues.

i posted it in software thread but you need to be able to see your bounty amount when you have cards in prog kos

Okay, maybe this is a dumb question... but why do you need to see your bounty amount while you have cards in play? I can certainly see that you might want to see this information (or any information) at all times... but why is it particularly relevant at that point in time?

because the $ is worth chips... so for example, say i bet and my opponent jams.. depending on my bounty amount would (should) effect how wide he jams (since there are more chips in the pot if my bounty is bigger).


it not a big deal but ive definitely been in spots where it would have been nice to know if i had a big bounty on me
01-08-2015 , 04:07 PM
Approx how long will it take until the new structure gets fixed on all tourneys?
It cost us money everyday.


If you're still unsure about it, make a poll so we can vote. Ty for taking ur time Bryan.

In the Info tab you can see how much you have earned in bounties and thus see how valuable your bounty chip is worth.
