Although I have never seen the exact data, the idea is that Timebombs have very little overlap with main schedule players. They are there just for people who have 15-30 minutes - likely mobile players - who want some tournament play. The problem is there is no place to put them in the client except in the MTT lobby, even if they are closer to sit and goes.
I do wish the deep stack games and formats could find the right balance. It's been hard to get the right format, the right buyins and the right timings that get players to register. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be any, even if they aren't big. I agree there should be more.
And I hate the name Bounty Builder. It's just another name for Progressive KO. Just like BIG is just another name for Freezeout. It's marketing, but not the best naming or labeling convention. Something like BIG and BIG PKO would have worked and better connected the formats. Could have had BIG, HOT, BIG PKO, HOT PKO, and then still had all the side games that were FO, Turbo, KO or whatever structure type without sats and without the large GTD.
Just some late night thoughts.
well it seems like daily in micros there are 24x hyper 6max, 1x special blue 6max, 6x regular speed 6max, and 3x turbo 6max (one is a zoom).
So I guess anyone with any perception at all would FEEL like they are all hypers.
I agree with your ideas on branding the pkos better.
The levels in deepstacks are perfect imo, my favorite structure these days, just need more buy-in amounts (like 1.10, 3.30) and more added time slots for them. But I think you are right, also there, finding the right games for the right times is important, but overall just get them on the schedule and fine tune later is a step in the right direction. Everyone knows new tourneys might not have the greatest gtds, oh well. Get enough new games in the evening and this problem can fix itself.
