How can I see how much money I was awarded for the phase tournament that was cancalled. I assumed they just did a chop like any usual tournament cancellation. Was at a hectic sunday time and didnt get chance to work it out or see what happened...

Well I didn't play Mini Million last night and also I didn't receive an e-mail, so maybe there's some truth to it.

otoh I also totally missed that FTP was running. Like zero information about it if you only play stars. Earlier they had these "hey play this at our sister site" etc.

888 even sends me SMS to do those stupid wheel of fortune promo.

If we are slashing the GTD of the 100r down to 12k on a monday it feels like it needs a replacement. (even though that would be very painful)

Big 215/320 comes to mind.

Or advertise it in some sort of way, seems weird to me that Partypoker can successfully run a HSMTT on a Monday and easily catch a 30k GTD and the HSMTTs on Pokerstars can't get above 12k and 15k (the 100r and 320 6max).

Or just replace it with a novelty tournament on Mon/Wed/Fri like a 400+100+30 KO on a Monday, a 320 8max on a Wednesday and a 215 2x on a friday. Just to keep things fresh and exciting for both grinders and recreational players.

Does anyone know when the silverstar and chromestar VIP tournaments will appear for the last Saturday of the month? (27th). I can't seem to find it anywhere and it's not far away!

I have been able to confirm that the issue was caused in the server restart. While typically the minimum entrants requirement for a final Phase is based on the sum of players in all Phases, it seems to have been changed to the sum of players in the final Phase. In this instance, the minimum entrants was set to 5,000 (typically much more than necessary since the tournament has between 9,500 and 11,000 total entrants each week), but the system now looked at the number of players in the final Phase (1,064) and decided it was not enough to run the tournament.

The tournament will not cancel again.

I apologize for the inconvenience and can relate to how frustrating it must have been in the middle of a Sunday. It was frustrating for me as well because I could not simply schedule another one to start soon after with an adjusted minimum entrants due to the fact that it was a Phase tournament.

The tournament is still in the client (1476099076). It was rolled forward and all players received a rake refund. I've just confirmed that you received a credit.

ID 1483742002. 5k stack starting 10/20 and only 10min late? You are missing people doing that, make it at least 30min late.

Maybe keep it on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday when other HS tournaments are running. Also have a big 215 everyday though for sure.

Why not just make 109R start at 15:15? Lets all the HS crowd jump in without adjusting their schedules.

probably even less people will play it then cuz they can game select at that hour. only reason it still gets this crowd is because of best starting hour for HS imo.

depends on guarantee and support from stars imo, can see this working @ 21:15 CET, however big215 sounds good to me especially when u finally get 5k starting stacks for bigs...

Keep 100r as it is imo. it has a different, deeper structure for some variation, good value for the avg buyin, good to latereg if youre not starting so early. I like it a lot and I think a big 215 would end up being worse value and not play as deep.

Instead of removing it perhaps they could consider running a single satellite to it like they do every other MTT that they want players in.

At the moment there is a better than 1 in 5 chance of cashing. Too high imo
On top of this, the Courchevel Hi/Lo tournaments tend to have a pretty slow structure. Coupled with the low buy-ins, it makes for very long tournaments that sometimes pay out less than $100 for first.

I would suggest making the structure of some Courchevel Hi/Lo tourneys faster, or raising the guarantees (these usually seem to easily surpass the guarantee).

Or better yet, ADD a TURBO Courchevel Hi/Lo MTT

Thank you
