So late last night, early Monday morning, I'm checking to see if they have made any of the changes they promised in the structure and schedule of tournaments. Not seeing any changes until I get to the very bottom and I see a new tournament dated 2-25-18 at 3:30 MST called Sunday Major 30,000 Guaranteed -Deep. In the status it shows "Cancelled" but I'm sure that it was up there as a test and will be updated as soon as they announce it. It is no longer there this morning but here's some other things I noticed. It has a buy in of $218 and a 1 hour late registration. The blind levels are 15 minutes making it the Deepest Mtt Global has offered to date.

I really hope they are not going to start doing late registration. A big part of Global's MTT charm is NO late reg.

If they go any longer than an hr in even a single event they can throw their "rec player friendly" business model right out the window. They do that, toss them in with WPN as far as reliability and lack of trust.

edit - i think a 218$ 30k gtd is awesome and I'm ok with a 1hr late reg, I actually think it's good. But absolutely no re entries and no longer than 1hr late reg for deep stacked games, and 30 mins for some of the other shorter structures.

Can we get some info from a rep regarding their plans with the late reg that we are finding out about on our own?

Sorry to inform you but you should probably hope for something else because they already did One two days ago. I believe late night Thursday or Friday they did a late registration in a 10 p.m. Mountain Standard Time small tournament. That was a 15 minute late registration. Most likely a trial. I personally am not a fan of it either however there has been a lot of requests for it by other players. If you check the Improvement thread every fourth or fifth post requests it.

Damn, there was a long thread a while back where the majority were well opposed to it, but I guess that thread got buried.

I suppose if it's kept to 1 hour or less it at least doesn't ruin the mtt's by making them 57 hours long like WPN.

In that thread discussing LR that seems to have been lost, the main reason people asking for it wanted it was because they were mad when they got there 5 min late and couldn't reg. It's an lol invalid argument. If you have 1 hour late reg then you'll have people mad when they get there at 1 hour and 5 min. No matter how long LR is people will have that problem of arriving a few minutes too late.

This will be so awesome if it's true and HOPEFULLY some better nightlys.

I totally agree. I would have preferred 30 minute Max late registration and players just need to be responsible and show up on time. Otherwise it becomes 2 hours then 3 hours and then becomes unplayable for a lot of players like myself. It's not like they can't register for a tournament from anywhere that they have cell service from. So there's really no excuse other than those that just forgot to enter the tournament. There has not been any juicy overlays in months and I doubt this tournament will be any different. I'm still waiting to see if they increase the guarantees of all the large weekly and daily events that the guarantees are currently being crushed. I'm pretty sure the 10K deep tournament yesterday was over 15K. So with guarantees being crushed what is advantage to us players for anything more than a 30 minute late registration in any tournament? We all see the advantage for Global poker and I'm wondering if they are just getting too greedy.
Don't ruin it Global Poker!

I felt GP was getting too greedy with the changes to the sngs 10/13/17 but they dialed back the super fast structures a few days ago so they do listen. Or maybe traffic in those games dropped off and they saw it in their back end #'s who knows but they did make player friendly player changes last week after having pushed it too far or "gotten too greedy" with that game format. I'll dial back my 1hr late reg ok-ness, I'm with y'all in that 30 mins should suffice and make everyone happy

1 hr max should be a law.. Anything more than 1 hr kills the integrity of the game and who has time for that. Show up on time with 1 life to live and claw your way to the top, stop all this reloading nonsense.

haha ya that works I can +1 to that well said

Yeah, I think 30 min is ok. 1 hour max. 0 preferred.

I actually pre-reg sometimes when I know I can't make it for the start but plan to arrive within the first 30 min or so, and have had success in those events, so the whining people do about it is just whining. It's obv better for me to late reg and start with a full stack but the blinds are small the first few levels so it's not much different than if I was on time and played like a nit tbh. And since you can log in and play from your mobile device, there's no excuse to not be reg'd in time like Wiz said.

ya i pre reg too Gluten, I cant even count how many times I've been rushing to get out the shower hearing games start and me timing out. I've also won idk how many like that, works fine for me.

60 minutes of late reg will actually help IMO.

Help what?

I'm looking at the announced tournaments right now and I don't see it. The only MTTs I see for 2/25 are the normal Gold Coin tournaments and 100deep and Bonanza. You trippin (or they removed it).

I'm all for a 30 min late reg but not longer than that.

The one thing I think they should do is hold more, and higher stakes, MTTs during the day. The ones that exist aren't too big (in terms of entrants), but I think that's because a ton of people that grind MTTs already know Global doesn't offer anything during the day so they don't even bother to look, and also because every single one is a micro. I strongly suspect you could get plenty of players for a 20+2 or 30+3 type MTT at 3PM EST, especially after it's been running for a week or two.

Nah..not trippin but I did address in OP that it was not there this morning when I checked.. and that the original listing showed "Cancelled" so I was not expecting it to stay that long. I am not a technoplegic but I can't seem to send a file into these posts but Splaya was nice enough to post my last file for me so as soon as I enter this post I m emailing him the pic of the Sunday Major lobby. As for your other comments I totally agree if they had some $10-$33 Mtts during the day( Like they do on Sat and Sunday) it would increase play from players like me and you who avoid the smaller buy in and large field sizes.
Sending file to Splaya now.

I see a lot of potential here. I don't foresee myself playing any Sunday tournies anytime soon, but I like it!! Since so many poker players are degens anyway why not host a decent guarantee event at like 2AM? Call it "Moonlight Chips"!

The only thing they are missing from that lobby is the ticket image.

If Global is going to run a regular $218 on Sundays I would love to see satties to it during the week. It will help boost the numbers and offer small stakes recs a chance and a bigger event too.

Yes I agree with the satellites and we all know they have the ability to do that now so I presume that they will do just like they did in the grizzly Main Event hold multiple day satellites into the Sunday major. I also wanted to point out one more thing that sit and spin brought up about having larger buying tournaments earlier in the day. I think most of us are okay with them not even making those guaranteed. If that is the case what do they have to lose. I'm sure there are some smaller buy in MTT players that have their favorites that would possibly get ousted but you can run a tournament in any time slot and it does not have to take an existing spot in my opinion.

Hell I don't even know why I'm even excited about this big tournament. I can't seem to win the big ones. I'm pretty damn good at winning 750 to 2500 K guarantee tournaments. I think Global poker may have the this one is too big for him to win Governor attached to my account. LOL

Winning a 2500K guaranteed tournament is pretty impressive. What'd you win for first, about 450K?

But nah seriously I think they could just hold MTTs every 15 minutes, instead of every 30 minutes or once an hour, during the morning/afternoon. I think fishies do like seeing the big "GUARANTEE" number when they're thinking about entering a tournament, so I'd keep it if possible, but regardless I'm just positive that the volume of players is there for this, especially if you give it a few weeks for people to see all the new MTTs.

Oh damn sorry punctuation error. That was supposed to be $750 to $2.5K.. yeah I was just a little off there. LOL in all reality I did win a 3K eagle event but I only won a 3K one time not multiple times. Full disclosure.

Wow this sounds like a real poker tournament instead of a shove fest that they currently offer. I really think if they went to 15 min blinds and left structure as is it would be a little bit player friendly. Also Late registration would be nice as well since not everyone can be there the minute the tourney starts. I really for the life of me can't figure out why people are against this. If they late reg they are putting themselves in Higher variance situations especially with current structure With current structure you could only have late reg for like 30 min

By the way what are the changes that where promised I have yet to see anything anywhere?
