Lol I laught at the 10 blocks suggestion. What encourages me to play is the actual BOP leaderboards, otherwise I would'nt play not even close to what I play nowadays. Every week I play 100 sit and gos of each stakes because of BOP. I am pretty sure a lot of regs do, and I am pretty sure regs need at least one thing to get them to mass table BIG TIME. Of course we like to give fish some little rewards to keep the poker economy going, but it would be a massive error if regs (which post the most volume/provide the most money to pokerstars) don't get at least one good incentive to make them grind like maniacs. BOP actually accomplish that.

Please keep a leaderboard promotion that rewards volume but with a much flattened prize structure rewarding only SNG tickets (and nothing else). The point would be anyone completing a block could expect some sort of prize quite frequently, lets say 33%-50% of the times, even if its as little as a single ticket for their limit. A promotion that rewards hundreds if noth thousands of players weekly on every limit would be nice, even at the expense if the most you can get out of it (lets 1st place score) is no more than 5 tickets.

BOP in its current form not that motivating for recs i assume, considering you need to steadily keep up your score (say having 500 point only halfway or 900 with 20 games remaining you can pretty much consider the block is gone) and while the shootout is nice its once in a month so doesnt makes much sense to stockpile the tickets or if someone cant play it than go for it all in that given month...

whats the current status, any update?
is now the bop still ongoing? (can i receive prizes ?)
tx

doubt stars is doing anything right now. they never do.

Has anything been decided on the BOP tickets?

I think I have somewhere of 80+ of them, and some SNEs have 100+ of them.

Seems a bit ridiculous that 5 BOP tickets is worth the same as 100 of them. At least give us some money proportional to the amount we have.

Is there going to be an update by steve on what actually the plan is?

I thought the changes whatever they may of been, would have been taking place by now?

So BoP replaced because of these 4 promotions, but I have never seen Promotion #2 run

I'm not currently in a jurisdiction that allows pokerstars.com so I can't check.

Is there a Sit & Go leaderboard right now? Has anything replaced the Battle of the Planets?

BOP was not replaced. There is some new modified sng leaderboard though, however with no real money rewards, but with rewards that Stars like to call "bragging rights."

hoprfully they also decrease rake and make player enthusiasm as a new requirement for participation..... rofl@leaderboards without prizes
