Can someone tell me if normal tournaments are running longer or shorter than before the big changes? I know there has been some tweaking - so just wondering.

I saw a 109 on another site yesterday that had 350 runners and 8k to first. Softer site, smaller field. If you had to pick one or the other, its a no brainer

So I just sent this to Stars support but thought should post it here too..

All the ante up tournaments in the MTT schedule require a minimum of 14 players in order to start. Can't this be lowered since so many are getting cancelled every single day? The ones that do run always beat the guarantee! Can't it be a minimum of 6 for example in line with a lot of other tournaments. Please consider that people like to late reg ante ups rather than reg right from the start. If you feel like this change would result in overlay then please lower the guarantees because there are enough people that want to play in these Ante Up format tournaments. Please give them a chance to run!

why isn't there any 6max MTT on Pokerstars that isn't PSKO/TURBO/Hyper in the 22-55$ buyin range ?

all you have is a 16$ 6max with 5k gtd .... lol

all the 6maxes are crammed in that 2-3 hour peak time and all are PSKO and or turbo.
change one of them in a regular 33-44$ vanilla 6max

Beginning 12 June, The Sunday Million will become a re-entry on a trial basis.

Looks like Pokerstars realized with traffic going down, the options were make the Sunday Million a Re-Entry format or change it to the Sunday 3/4 Million.

Re-entry is great. It lets people choose whether to play a $215 or a $430 tournament if they wish to do so.

Let's just forget about the thousands of people who qualify each week for <$10.

Very true mate! I do not remember who said this exact thing in this thread a while ago, but he was bang on!
It is actually mind-blowing that instead off fixing the problem they going to patch things up with a move like this.
You'd guess that decision makers of a billion dollar company would by now see something is very wrong and make changes long term to adjust into the right direction again. And not try to do a quick fix like this.

Let us predict again.

Soon Luke will enter the thread saying this is done because of the EUROS, WSOP, summer all falling together...... and it has nothing to do with all the changes made by PS.... who wnts a bet on this?

There used to be a big pokersite that tried to save themselves by introducing multientries and reentries.
