I understand that the intention is for the rate of play to be faster... In general, let's be honest 15 seconds gets chipped away here and there pretty quickly in hyper mtts and mtt sngs even when you don't have a disconnection. This especially becomes a HUGE problem if you do live in an area where internet cutouts/disconnections are more frequent. Not everyone is so fortunate to have a 100% stable connection at all times. I'm sure this affects many players all around the world.
It is such a killer to lose a timebank in these games and not be able to gain back any time for infinite blind levels, or not at all in mtt sngs. In hyper mtts we only get 5 seconds added after 1 hour. I mean come on... May I suggest something like this:
scheduled turbos: 8 seconds added every 30 min?
scheduled hypers: 5 seconds added every 30 min or perhaps 15 min?
I also believe that mtt sngs like 180s should be treated the same as any other scheduled mtt where +5 seconds could be added every 30 min. Also 15 seconds should be added when you reach the final table. Why should these be an exception? These sngs do appear in the scheduled tournament tab as well don't they?
I think these changes would benefit all players including recreational players. It would be an all around better experience in these games.
I hope you take this into consideration.
Thanks for providing your thoughts. Honestly, this is not a complaint we receive often, which suggests that most players are content with the current time banks on offer. It is important to remember that a vast majority of our players play one table. This means they probably don't take a long time to act and also that they do not want to wait a long time between hands. I understand your concerns about having a poor connection, but changing the parameters because of a very small group of players would likely result in more complaints than we currently receive. Lastly, we do not want to incentivize stalling.
Any other players want to chime in for/against?

I've passed your feedback on to the person responsible for live events satellites, but I should mention that it is fairly common for satellites to end deep into late registration. A couple simple tips for determining when a satellite will end:
- Determine the average stack size required for the tournament to end. For instance, if a $55 to a $530 starts with 3,000 chips, the average stack will need to be 30,000 before the satellite ends.
- Predict the level where the satellite will end. If the above is a hyper-turbo, I'd assume it would end at the 3,000 big blind level, or about 10 big blinds average. For a turbo, perhaps 15 big blinds, and a regular speed, 20-30.
- Add any breaks and determine where the satellite will end in relation to the target tournament's structure.

Well, it isn't as though we intentionally overlayed $70K in this specific tournament; however, in the vein of Christmas giving, I did deploy an $11 satellite with 10 seats guaranteed to the Super Tuesday SE which overlayed $14.5K in the end!

Shootouts are an example of the scope of Winter Series being more limited. If participation in the Series isn't what we're expecting, these tournaments can cause both overlay (no different from a normal tournament) but also an underwhelming player experience. This first iteration of the Series will allow us to learn what we can do the next time around.

I've been doing some adjustments on the fly and will continue doing so. Mostly I've been adding tournaments during late registration, but please continue to provide feedback regarding where you think improvements can be made.

I'll try a few of these to today's Thrill.

What do you mean by more? These are all Sit & Gos, so they should run exactly as much as players want.
Did you maybe mean start them earlier?

Or did I miss something in here where it was mentioned?
It is on hiatus due to Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve both falling on a Sunday. It will return next week.
