yeah, mini warm-up and mini rebuy should be added too by now.
luke said sth about upcoming changes to the new schedule, but the new schedule would prob be after scoop or late december [
], so...
3xT sats to bigs and hots would be nice but i'm tired of asking for them, don't see it happening

The point is that the first phase should *actually stop* at the natural end of that level, not play on at the same level endlessly, until 10% of the field are left.
The last 10% thing is not how phase should be designed to work. Unfortunately it's how they actually do work, because it's how stars designed it, but it's wrong, and I think you tacitly admit it when you do them correctly in COOPs. Just play a set amount of levels, and whether 5%, 10%, 20% of the field or whatever is left, they all go through to the next phase

My job is to create the content of the new schedule and script it, so that's what I do!
I tried seeing if there was any WCOOP coins lying around, but all I see is SCOOP and TCOOP.

I keep seeing multiple posts about this "new schedule," yet I haven't seen any explanation on what this change is about. Is it just a change in tournament starting times. A re-arrangement of the lineup?
We have done so much work thus far in correcting/tweaking everything that I would hate to see drastic changes.
Personally, as a dedicated player, I think the schedule has never looked better than it is now!

Of course, not everyone will be perfectly satisfied, but overall it will be a significant improvement.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't raise guarantees on the day, so many potential upsides.
Call it Anniversary Boost.
Is Stars scared that when people see a one off boost they will get upset when it goes back to normal and not register in protest? Can you not be arsed to make a new tag or plug in the new numbers?
No-ones expecting overlays but it seems such an obviously positive thing to do for players at no cost.
The, meh it doesn't matter anyway line of thinking is just lame. Also highly doubt anyone has definitive data as to whether it matters or not. But when players like shiny things and it costs nothing why wouldn't you?

I really believe that the process for setting guarantees has improved the situation significantly. Many guarantees have been increased in the past few weeks alone. In Jan/Feb 2016 we guaranteed ~15% more in the main schedule than in Jan/Feb 2015.

This may be the completely wrong space since most of you are all talking about schedule changes/gtds etc.
Even though this is somewhat irrelevant this has always intruiged me.
Why on some tournaments does the name show up engraved/faded into the felt and on others it doesn't. Is there any logic behind this at all? Surely if you are doing it for some you should do it for all? On some 5.10 Hypers it's on the felt, for others it's not.
It just seems pretty illogical to me and wondered if any of you had an explanation.
Personally I'd like to have an option where we can either have the tournament name on the felt or off the felt regardless of buy in/time of day/whatever you guys are doing currently.
Appreciate it!

pretty sure there's an issue, I have restored popups then proceeded to close (meaning never show again when they popped) all of the other ones (so registration, knockout, rebuy, allin chance info (also qualifies as such)) and now again bustout popups are gone as well, if could pass it to the proper team that'd be great
$164,780
$187,400
$204,280
$207,960
$212,760
While it isn't ready for $200K yet, it should be increased to $175K soon.
DST
Some guarantees will be reduced this coming Sunday and Monday in order to mitigate the effects of DST. Additionally, all of the Phase tournaments, the $215 Weekly Heads-Up, and a few others will be moved back an hour on Sunday to compensate. These are not intended to be permanent changes.
