Hi FarseerFinland, you beat me to being ready with this thread! Unsure if I move you post to here, if it will be the OP or not!

- 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.
-The new Prima client only supports NLHE and PLO, hence why you won't see much other mixed tournaments, even on the old client. It was before my time at MPN, but they really never ran. PLO8 is still on the old client, albeit with lower guarantees. The guarantees have been smashed so far this week, so they will be raised if it continues
-This was mentioned yesterday by a colleague also. They currently have that name, so that people recognize the format. We want to offer 2,3,5,10 seats for all these, however they simply do not start. A perfect example of this occurred a few hours ago. The Mega Feeder to the Big Kahuna has 3 minimum players to start (this is the lowest that can be offered, or it just invites 2 friends to register at the last second and flip for the seat). It started, barely, with 3 players, and by the end of the late reg, it ended with 13. Had it been 2 seats (either 4 or 5 minimum players needed), it would not start, same with most of the other feeders that are not on Sundays. A couple of the Turbo Rebuy Feeders for this week will now feature an "Early Bird" incentive - register before the tournament starts to get 500 additional starting chips (25BB). These are clearly displayed in the lobby, starting with the High Society Feeder later this evening. We will see how these do, and might expand it if proves to be popular. We have really started to focus a lot on satellites, and hopefully people see that a lot more have been put into the lobby recently
-Lets test a new Super Turbo Rebuy. Look for tournament ID 32952666 in the lobby. Its open for registration now!
-We wanted to have separate tournaments, some with 90 minutes of rebuys, others with 60. Will have to think about this one
-Which tournaments, rebuys?

- 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 have been watching the lobby, along with the daily reports for the last couple of weeks and have started to remove/edit such instances. Some run 2-3 days out of 7, and those are being left alone for now. If you have specific examples we can have a look
-Minimums are being lowered more than they have been previously, there is only so much we can lower them to though, before it gets too inviting

np! Lets hope it doesn't overlay today :P

This is something that might be feasible down the line. Currently there is an issue regarding tickets, how they will not work in certain scenarios when you begin to change the rake structure

It's also great way to introduce new tournaments.
UCOP is being run in September with a €1M Guarantee for the series - please check this thread and give us your feedback:

There will be UCOP specific promotions, that should hopefully target most players and inspire them to play a couple more tournaments. We will look into the other parts of this your paragraph!
