Would like to see
20 rb Super rebuy Bounty - either fast or slower structure
Plenty more 1R1A games eg 551R1A
New 2R1A games
Some more turbo style boosters 33 - 22, 22 - 11
A HU Weekly Tournie
Daily Superstack freeze + rebuy
Decent Daily freeze 20/30/50/75
A big Comp 8 max end month with lots sats 100 and HR 320/500
More PLO introduced
Perhaps a mix game comp
A Monthly leaderboard similar to UCOP but with added prizes and more fair for ALL BI LEVELS. it seemed to me you could only win the leaderboard if you played ALL THE BIG BUY INS - something to look at
Thanks in advance and GL with the year ahead
Any way we can help just ask!

Hello from me as well,
I will just share my opinion here and mainly the things I believe will be good to add in the schedule.
1st of all the monthly leaderboard that Terminator mentioned is a very good idea but I dont know if its possible.
Now regarding mtts:
My personal opinion is not to jam the schedule with tons of mtts, with super low gtds, as this seems to have worked completely opposite in some cases.
Many players just won't register a 22/33/55€ tournament with a 500gtd per say. I completely understand the logic about not just start increasing gtds and the fear of big overlays, but i really think the biggest "problem" of the schedule as it is now, is the early hours.
I have never seen mosh pit, lite, lost vegas etc. overlay for example and they all have pretty good gtds.
What i am trying to say is that it might actually be better to have like 1 big gtd mtt every hour and 1 smaller one every half our for example, instead of having like 4-6 mtts with really small gtds in the same timeframe.
Not all players play 4-8 tables at the same time anyway, so theres just no gain for no one this way.
13:00 GMT, 14:00 GMT and 15:00 GMT at the momment is the time frame that lacks big gtds and traffic. Instead of having like 12 -15 mtts in that time frame with butchered gtds you can replace them with 3 mtts with like 750 - 1000€ gtds and see how it goes. In between you can add like 3 more at XX:30 with smaller ones to make the schedule more complete and appealing.
You can even name them "Early lunch main event", "lunch main event", "after-lunch main event", or whatever you want obviously but i mean it in a "series" kinda name for promotional reasons, like you did with mosh-pit, mini, lite.
What is more, you could also add a "Mini Scrooge", at the same time with normal, at half buy-in and gtd. And a "mini King Tusk" with smaller/half buy-in and gtd as well.
Last but not least, you could make some late night FO's Turbo, in order to help players play them along with what is left of earlier tournaments. For example there is a 11€Fo at 22:15 GMT with 10 min blinds. Maybe make it 6mins.
I know the above is a lot information to process, but just wanted to share it.
Hopefully Peter finds some of the above ideas good and implement them/test them.
Cheers!
