I'm sorry to have to contradict you or anyone else here, but the above is simply not accurate, as I've demonstrated with examples previously. To cite just one more recent example, the Big $109 overlaid many times while attempts were made to raise participation in it, thereby preserving its guarantee of $100,000. We did not want to lower its guarantee. (To be ultra clear, we never want to lower any tournament's guarantee.) After more than a month and tens of thousands of dollars in overlay, the guarantee was finally lowered. As for raises, quite a lot of guarantees have gone up over the last few weeks, even while other some guarantees in other tournaments have - by necessity and in response to decreased participation in said tournaments - gone down. There have also been many improvements throughout the schedule in the last few months... with new formats, new buy-ins, changes in times, new tournaments, tournaments with guarantees which didn't have them previously, etc... all designed to make the schedule better overall, and with many of those changes coming about thanks in part to feedback from this forum and other places.

It's a very good idea, and one that I look forward to using (possibly in WCOOP, even), once we can have Phase 1 Sit & Go.

More specifically,
14:30 ET: $5.50 1R1A, 5k gtd
14:45 ET: $4.40 2R1A, no gtd
16:00 ET: $5.50 2R1A, 8k gtd
16:45 ET: $5.50 2R1A, 5k gtd
There are several places where we have a few too many *R1A tournaments in one place. This should be changing relatively soon, especially if we add new Bigs/Hots, as is currently being discussed.

I don't have much to do with the cash Sit & Go tournaments, but I've forwarded your request along to the man who does.

It looked like fun. Given the feedback here asking for it to be 6-Max, and in response to the change to 6-Max, I was somewhat surprised to see that the participation in the Supersonic didn't rise from the 9-Max version. We'll see if that changes next week.
Thanks as always for the feedback, everyone. Please keep it coming!
