Few thoughts about MTTs:
- Push bit more for non-hold'em offering, at least PLO / PLO8. I can see you removed those which never launched, but you should have kept few more non-hold'em tournaments, make sure they run (sats etc.) and get rid of the rest.
- Don't call one seat guaranteed 22 -> 109 satellite as "Mega Satellite". It's tilting.
- Make sure there's no dead zones especially during European evening. I think there's room for few extra tournaments. You should also test late night hyper rebuys, they used to be quite popular.
- Each rebuy with currently just 6 levels of rebuy-time should be changed to have 9+ levels of rebuy time. 6th level is 50/100 without antes, which mean much fewer rebuys and smaller prize pools.
- Add antes to lower levels of the tournament.
- Check tournaments which cancel often and try to change them so that they would launch. For instance you can:
- Change buy-in
- Lower player amount required to start (you can combine this by making late registration longer, especially a thing if you have some deepstack format which is running like 50bb+ deep at the end of current late registration)
- Change them turbo -> regspeed or other way around depending on time
I am the one who brought up changing 22 1r1a Big Antes -> 11r 1r1a Big Antes Turbo and you did great job to change it quickly. Love to see that it launched on the first time without more advertising (22 1r1a probably launched like under 10 times this year).
As much as I would like to see rake part removed from rebuys I know that is not going to happen. But I would at least request you to lower rake taken from R&A-satellites: regular rake @ them means less seats. Rake them 50% less and see more people in the main tournaments which support higher guaranteeds.
Would love to see some MTT aimed promotions, small and big ones. If you're planning to run UCOP this September, please make your best to have somewhat interesting promotions alongside it. But there's no reason why you couldn't have some weekend-long promotions running like 10 tournament miniseries with some promos, like Omaha Weekend with some added leaderboard. It's also great way to introduce new tournaments.
