info tab says 13 places paid, when there are either 10 (number of target entries awarded), or 23 (number of places who win something). This error occurs when the number of mincashes exceeds the number of seats awarded: in this case it exceeds it by 13, and 13 is the number of places incorrectly displayed as being paid in the info tab.

Fix your Phase 1 tournaments. It is a ridiculously bad joke that last level is 800/1600/160. We have played it for over half a hour and still bubble goes on with about 30bb avg. stack.

Make these tournaments NOT to stop levels and maybe I would play another one.

same goes for today's sat #1491217882 to hot162.
10 places paid, hand-for-hand set at 10 players left.

the best part is that the structure is that of a 6max hyper satellite sng that starts with ~6ABB and 2min levels (not 3), which are raked 2% usually.

It is very helpful when you provide tournament IDs! The way satellites are set up in our system is to go hand for hand at the bubble plus N. In tournaments where a small number of seats are awarded, N is usually one. In bigger satellites, N is two or three.

The ID above showed that two players busted in the same hand in 11th and 10th place. The tournament would have paused after this hand had nobody busted. The reason it didn't stop immediately after the last hand is because a hand was already in progress on the other table.

If you still feel this is a problem, feel free to PM me tournament IDs and I'll look into them.

You've already said NLO8 runs as much as PLO so would be nice if one of those ten was a NLO8 MTT prefereably around $215

what??? N is 1 or 2-3? you realize this doesn't work with the changed payouts where you spread remaining $ at 5-10 or even more spots.
(this obv works if you pay all remaining $ at the next place-only needs seats+1 places, or for sats that spread the remaining money at bigger chunks it would again work with seats+(2-3) places).

at the tour i mentioned, yes i think it is a problem. the tour should have went hand-for-hand when there were 11 players left since there were 10 places paid. [obviously!!]

another sat running atm with the same problem #1491214218
1-5th: seat82, 6-10th: $11, 11th: $7.5
hand-for-hand starts at 11 players

it's frustrating having the mincashes on the first place, but it's even more when this lovely change creates other problems too; info tab not showing correct places and hand-for-hand being useless.

if you can't set those things right maybe change the payouts to how they used to be, so things can work properly (as in basic stuff of a poker tournament)?

thanks #mildfrustration

Luke, I asked this a few days ago, perhaps you did not notice it. VIP Super Saturday tournament, this is supposed to be the benefit or rakeback to all players. Since PS added fixed amount of money to the tourney, there is no effect on PS regardless of the player field size, right?

Could you please open the registration earlier, and/or lengthen the late registration period?

Right now, this once in a month vip tournament is open that particular day, and late registration last for 10 minutes.

For gold star player, it is only about 10 dollars. but still it is my rackback and I want it.

I don't understand why the registration cannot be open as soon as this tourney is created and show up at the lobby. It is our rakeback, why I have to circle my calendar or set an alarm clock to claim my rakeback, so as not to miss the registration period?

Is there any chance of having the Timebomb start times moved so they don't run through breaks? 30 min ones don't start after xx:25 and 15 min ones no later than xx:40. It's always been a pain not being able to use the breaks if you play in them.

They want us to nominate a format (reg/turbo/hyper, rebuy/1R1A/freezeout etc) for Event 15, which will consist of 3 tournaments because of the different buyin levels (7.5, 82 and 700).
Apparently it doesn't have to be the same format for every buyin level.

nobrainer to boost all guarantees of late majors to make it one of the biggest sundays of the year, but not like its gonna happen

Prob sounding like doggz lately but I don't think gtd boost is needed, people will be logged into stars anyway and mtts other than milly will be fired regardless, same as December 27th, everything was 50% bigger at std gtd

Could of used all money wasted on team pro week and do some kind of promo where if you play the 10mill you get a free mini mill ticket or get in mini mill for half price

On a side note would make this team online pro week more interesting if the least backed player lost their position as a pro

+1 for longer late registration in ALL monthly ja also weekly VIP tournaments. I would love occasionally to donk those with 10-30bb and I am quite rec.

Also based on what happened at party when they made a big % of the field getting paid. It would seem that lots of recs and regs alike disliked it because they ran away in droves.
I've created a second version of the new pay table to be added to all Bigs/Hots beginning Monday. Compared to the first version tested in the Big $16.50/$27/$33, this version puts some money back at the final table.

I understand the argument that not all people want to enter tournaments with 1,000+ players, but most people do and that is how to best serve demand. In my opinion, SNGs are the best way to serve players who prefer smaller fields.

I forgot to register for it and then found out it was running for already 40minutes, registration closed.
Late registration will be lengthened beginning this Saturday. The reason we don't open registration earlier is because it results in an enormous number of players registering and then not showing up. This causes complaints from other players. I think registration opening six hours before the start time is fair.

Bounty Builders see significantly increased prize pools on Saturday while Bigs and Hots do not.

30BB average is when it should stop. This is the first time I've received this complaint. Any other thoughts?

In the new schedule, they've been changed so they don't overlap with breaks.
