gonna start regging @ 17:00 CET as I do most of the time on a Sunday. I'm excited to play the warm up and the milly on Stars.eu, that's pretty much it. Mayyyybe the B109 and 109BB due to their "improved" structures - Hopefully I'll be fortunate enough in other tournaments on Party, winamax and 888, so that I don't even bother regging for the other Stars.eu donkaments.

Sunday marathon. Slow structure? Let's see.

The same old Sunday million structure. It has three more minutes the first three levels and 20 minute levels which begin at 50k/100k.

A joke really.

how can you think that having things as biggers and hotters had no effect?

should go ahead and change them back today before sunday really gets started

as pads noted, theres alot of unnecesary gaps in the schedule.

I sincerely believe u will fix the structure Luke, but theres still room for improvement. U got rid of some of the dying tournaments and replaced them with other dead tournaments, instead of some vanilla frezeouts or pkos which are always gonna be popular no matter what.

This new schedule is just forcing me to play more on the other sites. If that was your intention then good job i guess...

Don't worry, they will. But not today. Prehaps after SCOOP.

The Bigger version had 12 minute blinds with proper deep stacked poker. To have a Bigger version with the same crap structure would've create a flood of complaints. With delaying the Bigger version they.... you know the drill.

Would be some achievement if they managed to change sunday into any other grind day.

Looks a strong possibility when peak time is so micro/turbo heavy now

Scam? Several sats have concluded with the 425k gtd.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a scam but if it was done after traffic analysis for the day then it's pretty shady

Seems like you're ending now again Phase 1 after x levels and not after x players remain, which I believe is fair and the only reasonable approach. Thanks.

Been playing on Monday, 2 quick tournament on tuesday, and lots of them on friday night, yesterday and today. Structures are clearly not as bad as many say, although some tournaments definitely need adjustments. F. tabled several bigs and they lasted around 7 hours which I find is decent although i agree ti's really quick once in the money.

So some tournaments do need some structure changes but much, much more important, the payout structures are just insanely bad. This is for me by far the biggest problem as they suck in pretty much all tournaments and are so low.

I really, really miss the old payout structure, being said that I find the new schedule, on the other hand, quite decent. But ffs please fix these payout structures.

Looking forward to the 700 tonight.

Another case of either intentional misinformation or lack of qualifications to design proper tournaments. It's getting kinda funny actually. The guarantees are also a joke. Big44 25k$ gtd, it's already at 70k.

Playing micro-mid mtts for years at stars.
Very confused today for the changes in the schedule, also fooled by the offers. I think that there are 3 times more mtts in the list than in the last week, seeing a double duece from full tilt and a bunch of insignificant tournaments. Facing disorder, uncleanness and inconsistency in the offer. I hope you can clean the list any time soon while at the same time increase the gtees.

Where have all the daily 27 sand weekly 82 stud/razz/draw gone? Ok you left the weekly 8 game and horse but why axe the daily's? They always made the guarantee.

Ok draw games were not as popular but the razz and stud8 daily and weekly always made the guarantee.

No 82 or 215 weekly omahas and only the 82 prog KO's.

These changes are disgusting for mix game MTT players.

Even the nlhe changes are horrible.

This is going to lose you so many regulars pokerstars or is that the idea lol.

Oh and lol at the gtd's. great job whoever was responsible for the mtt schedule

then in the next hour you can reg (5-6pm)

215 warm up <3
109 freezeout (pretty boring for a sunday)

then from next hour can reg (6-7pm)

big 109
hot 162
82 hyper
55 psko (super underwhelming for a sunday)



between 7-8pm there is only 1 tournament to reg!!,this is absolute peak time


bounty builder 109

between 8-9pm

55r (pretty underwhelming for a sunday and excessively raked)
sunday million <3
hot 55
320 6max

between 9-10pm

big 55
hot 109



So peak time like 4-10pm on a Sunday for somebody who wants to register between 50-500mtts (assuming this is quite a lot of people) you have the following

5-6pm (2 mtts) one random freezeout
6-7pm (4mtts) 1 hyper, 1 55$ psko, 1 turbo
7-8pm (1 mtt) YES ONE!!
8-9pm (4 mtts) 55r which is v bad, one turbo
9-10pm (2 mtts) one turbo
10-11pm (3 mtts) 1 psko

So for main time begging on stars where previously there was a bunch you can reg, the offer is super underwhelming.

The only red non turbo tournaments we currently have on Stars on a Sunday from the 5-11pm time I'm working with here for most people regging:

Big $109
Big $55
Big $215


There is a huge gap, especially at 7pm for a high stakes tournament,

The $109r was such an amazing and prestigious tournament, even with high rake you still got a lot of players.

The Sunday 2nd chance could easily run at 9.30pm, there is only two tournaments that hour, you have big55 at 9.00pm and hot 109 at 9,30pm. Its exactly 90 minutes after Sunday Million so is a perfect slot for 2nd chance tournament

The $162 Sunday 6 max could EASILY be instead of the $320 vanilla 6max, even make it red and $320 and call it the Sunday $320 6m?

The Sunday 530 would be perfect at 7:00pm you only have one tournament in this whole hour? The 109 bounty builder, why not run at least one of these tournaments here.

I really think you should reconsider your Sunday offering here, maybe I'm missing something or being short sighted about it, but compensating the huge hole in this schedule and removing 4 of your best 6 tournaments (and not even running the b82 or b162!! which was amazing starting and finishing tournaments) with a $1050 and $700 psko seems like you're just trying to price mid stakes regs out of taking shots in tournaments and forcing them to play more rake churning hypers, rebuys and pskos or you're hoping for some reason to send regulars broke, the latter doesn't make so much sense to me, but the former is a scary proposition if this is how things will continue to trend. Please bring back some of these reds.
This.

Bring back more reds on sundays, or just add more basic 11$ to 109$ FO's to the schedule.
