If it only took 10 minutes of work, I'd bug developers until it was finished. I can assure you this is not the case!

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
There are two schools of thought on this at PokerStars, with levels on one side and percent on the other. I am somewhere in the middle. I understand your position and I'll continue to give it thought.

I'd prefer to have it done before SCOOP/summer. I can't make any promises, but I'm working on it.

That being said I don't rly see much need for a new sched when issues like bounties in hh are actually way more important. And that type of response luke is bound to get responses like the above
These two are unrelated. I cannot drop the schedule and go become a developer.
My job is to create the content of the new schedule and script it, so that's what I do!

Seems Stars have cut back on this relatively small expense and now nothing to show for it.
I've asked a colleague and he told me that winners have received their bracelets. As far as final table coins, the delay is due to waiting for a shipment of the new ones. They are not year specific and will be shipped out much, much faster in the future.
I tried seeing if there was any WCOOP coins lying around, but all I see is SCOOP and TCOOP.

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!
The new schedule will have more majors (including a slot for each of APAC/Americas), more red tournaments, better scheduling, a stronger micro-stakes offering, be easier to understand for new players, have more standardized structures and other features, etc.
Of course, not everyone will be perfectly satisfied, but overall it will be a significant improvement.

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?
Like your peer said, everyone will already be on the site. In reality, many of our non-SM10A tournaments are more likely to have overlay due to the fact that we'll be running a $215 tournament requiring 50,000 entrants.
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.

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!
This is controlled via the script. It currently isn't standardized but will be in the new schedule. I do not believe there is an option to remove the text entirely, but it will probably be a bit easier on the eyes in the future.

I think it would be good for the game if Stars removed mucked cards from all hand histories and the replayer, like WPN
What are the advantages/disadvantages of such a feature?

This is due to the tournament having a small number of players for this pay table. All of the "deep stacks" tournaments will have a new pay table beginning Monday. Thanks for pointing this out!

Yep, will be in the future!

The
Software Improvement Thread would be a much better place to post these types of issues in the future. I've forwarded this one on to Keith.

So far, the mini-Million has had the following prize pools:
$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.

Apologies, but the schedule will not be ready at the time of the Full Tilt integration. Once I have a firm launch date, I'll post it here, so keep your eyes peeled!

In the latest version of the new schedule, the Hot $215 is at 18:15 and the Hot $44 moves to 19:15. This will be convenient for those ending their early majors session or starting a late majors session.
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.
