Can you run the D55 at 8pm on a Saturday with a less gtd Peter?

Doing well lately, and a shame to miss it out of the schedule

I'll have a think about it. Unlikely to be before UCOP Passport ends:

https://mpn.poker/promotions/ucop-passport/

Early schedule seems to be losing ground a lot.

Can you please consider changing/adding some tourneys. Even as low as 5€ rebuy/10€ FO may work. (14:00 - 15:30 GMT)

Of course i dont expect anything during UCOP.

Thanks anyway.

PS: Consider Re-Entry tournaments maybe.

Yep think we need some more turbo boosters as well along the schedule with decent guarantees Joe after UCOP

Why is the Deep55 not scheduled to run today Peter?
Seems to be doing really well lately as well!

Thanks in advance

Agreed wrt the early schedule statement. I removed the €11R [Your Name Here] Rebuy, as that was overlaying the majority of the time

Will visit this in the next while to get it back on track

There is no ability for a re-entry on the system, hence why we created the Booster type tournaments

Removed the Deep 55 as Fridays can be very hit or miss and there was a €55 €5K UCOP event close to it, so we decided to take it out tonight - I understand its not the same structure 10K/10 mins vs 5K/6 mins, but didn't want to get dinged with the added guarantees

Some directly similar tournaments are also taken out in the same fashion, eg the €22R €7.5K Daily Mosh Pit will be removed on the nights that the €22R €10Ks run - also the same for Sunday's events where a lot of these have been changed into UCOP events with the guarantees have been raised

Our last day of UCOP Passport kicks off at 15:00 GMT with an €11R Omaha event (this can be found under Omaha in the Prima client)

In total there is €122,500 guaranteed across the 7 events today!

The €50,000 Main Event begins at 17:00 GMT. You can buy into this directly for €110 or satellite into it, in numerous ways, from just €0.10. There is a 50 Seat Mega Feeder starting at 14:30 GMT, which you can buy into for €22 and can satellite into it right now for a lot less

Today’s biggest buy-in is the €320 High Roller with a €30K guarantee. A €55 15 Seat Mega Feeder will start at 16:20 GMT and if that’s too much for you, there is a €5.50 Monster Rebuy with 2 seats guaranteed at 15:35 GMT

There should be around 700 UCOP Passport Leaderboard points up for grabs in these 2 events alone, where the winner gets 3x €1,500 MPNPT packages and €550 worth of online tournament tickets!

Hi Peter,

Hopefully the UCOP overall was a good success and you will start adding in games that were well received and did well in certain formats.

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!

Terminator

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!

Hi both,

Thanks for the input as always. I am currently traveling after a week at ICE in London, so will look at this in the coming days.

Currently tidying up the UCOP Passport event winners for their Tournament of Champions this weekend.

Peter

I agree with average joe, the schedule can be a bit clustered with lots of very small tournaments and maybe dilutes the potential fields for bigger events. I know that I don't register anything with less than 1k guara.

Thanks for the feedback all.

Changes/additions made today:

New Daily Deepstack series. The Deepstack Freezeouts from UCOP were very popular overall, with 15K starting stacks, 10 minute blinds and 3 hours of late reg. We are trialing them to see how they do. Each weekday at 17:00 GMT there will be one of these tournaments

Mondays - €500 €5.50
Tuesdays - €1,000 €11
Wednesdays - €1,500 €22
Thursdays - €2,000 €55
Fridays - €1,000 €11

Again, we will see how they do and adjust as needed. I am also happy with running 2 of these a day at the same time, with a higher and a lower buy-in (which would change daily). Today's €5.50 has just started

€1,000 Nightly Turbo Rebuy Super Bounty - €22. Bringing this back as it has been asked for a lot. The general problem was that it affected the Mosh Pit and the King Tusk, which is why it was removed before. Hopefully it will not be an issue this time. Nightly at 20:15 GMT

€300 Mini King Tusk - €2.20, same format at the King Tusk, happy to raise the buy-in to €3.30 or €5.50. Will see how it does. Nightly at 21:00 GMT

€750 Turbo Booster - €33/€22. 6 minute blinds and you can boost your stack with an extra buy-in anytime you are at or below starting stack, while late reg is open. This will be nightly at 21:15 GMT and will be adjusted depending on numbers

The nightly €250 Booster (€11) at 22:15 GMT is now a Turbo

I am still thinking about the other suggestions, namely the early afternoon tournaments and will update after coming to a decision

No monthly leaderboards yet, but I do like the idea

We do have a €50,000 Knockout tournament on the 31st March. This will be a €110 Super Bounty Freezeout (€50 per KO). Satellites will start to run from the 4th March

I can also announce that we will have another UCOP series in April. This will be €500K guaranteed and will be called UCOP Vegas. More details coming soon!

These are some nice looking changes Peter thank you.

I really like the Deepstack idea and ideally you can run 2 tournaments daily. Sth like
11€ 1000gtd at 15:00 GMT + 22/55€ at 17:00 GMT.

Thank you for introducing mini King tusk. Can we please make it a 5€ rebuy instead of 2€?

Thanks a lot again and looking forward for more details about UCOP.

Some good changes firstly
Yep pre 2pm needs some work again - im sure if there were some nice gtds just say every hour from 11-3pm with a daily freeze and others rebuys 2R1A or 1R1A again it could attract some traction, but needs to be decent as to get regs playing earlier

The deepstacks Maybe Mon 1K 22 along with the 5 500(lot wont add a 500 5 into their schedule so hence I think needs to be min 1K 11 daily), Tues 15 1K 1250 weds thurs stay same and fri 1500 33 gets my vote

Id like to see a crazy stack rebuy 11, start it at 1K and see how it develops 3K ss, 6k rebuy and 20K add on 6 min blinds and must reg in the first hour so everyone will want to get to add on somewhere in the schedule

3pm 1K Super Bounty 22 bi alongside the 500 11 Super

3.30pm - RE another Cool Wolf type 11 bi just enough space before the evening schedule quick and fun

Think theres a possible slot somewhere for the same format game as TMI 1R1A maybe 10.30pm to slot in between the 10pm EB and the RoR

Really enjoyed both GCOOP and UCOP.

Logged in Sunday and was underwhelmed.

After 2 successful series within relative short succession, I'd have thought you'd have tried to capitalise on that but it was the same old blank schedule.

2 110s with a 5k and virtually no sats or flips. Also why are they the same? Why not make 1 a Bounty?

I'd do some mega sats and move the GTD upto 10k min. If you need to make it a 110 with a 55 booster than fair enough.

I think a 55 1r1a with a 5k could work too.

Also the last time you GCOOP was on, there was no crossover on the main MPN MTT schedule. You really should have been putting some special events on while hundreds of UK players were logged in.

I know you had bigger GTDs in the past, BUT a couple of things have changed since then. You have a few new skins join and there seems to be a lot more twitch streamers on MPN too (Gill Epp on that Canadian skin is a fun one, Grosvenor have done some as well as the 32red guys).

I personally think you need to take a gamble, like you did with UCOP, and just let these tournies build. Sky and Unibet both have bigger Sundays than you and MPN has far more potential customers so you need to try and capture tho.

One more thing Peter,

The 33€ turbo booster at 21:15GMT just seems too expensive for such a small GTD.

Maybe make it 22€ booster?

I mean its effectively a 55€ tournament with less than 1k gtd.

Rethoughts on the deepstack as I think fri the best night to hold the 55 freeze and u have 2 11s - so change one them to a 16.5 so every night is a diff bi

Mon 1.5K 33 along with the 5 500(lot wont add a 500 5 into their schedule so hence I think needs to be min 1K 11 daily)
Tues 1.25K 16.5
Weds 1.5K 22
Thurs 1K 11
Fri 2K 55

Id like to see a crazy stack rebuy 11, start it at 1K and see how it develops 3K ss, 6k rebuy and 20K add on 6 min blinds and must reg in the first hour so everyone will want to get to add on, somewhere u decide in the schedule

3pm 1K Super Bounty 22 bi alongside the 500 11 Super think both will gain interest 8 min blinds

3.30pm - RE another Cool Wolf type 11 bi same just enough space before the evening schedule quick and fun 6 mins

Think theres a possible slot somewhere for the same format game as TMI 1R1A maybe 10.30pm to slot in between the 10pm EB and the RoR

Also think u could add another 6 max perhaps afternoon 1K 5rb somewhere

Sundays - think u should make the MO 10K and have more sats every day into this make it 15K 10m to be different then the Big Top

Make another Super Tuper Rebuy as I saw last week into the big top 5rb - 750 chips

Cheers
Term

55 Booster please on a Saturday with 1250 GTD

See a 6max Booster - Few more these with a decent GTD

More 1R1A or 2R1A, can u do 3R1A or 4R1A?

Deepstack weekender at 5pm on sat/sun - these have proved decent during week, how about 33 and 44 Sat/Sun 20K

Thanks all for the feedback. I am currently away, however did implement some of the above just now

Also, 6 minute breaks did start on Monday (18th). Late reg had to be extended on each tournament that hit a break (1 minute per break). If anyone notices any tournaments that are off (especially with end of late reg vs addon time), please post here or PM me the name of the tournament, so that I can check it

Done, with a €500 guarantee to see how it does. Starts from today

Updated it a bit for this coming week:

Added in a €33 €1,500 on both Saturdays (starts today) and Monday. Leaving the rest as is, and will see if anything needs to be changed after this run

start time for this?

Did both (€22 starts from Monday and €11 starts Sunday). I read your later comments too, but will go with this for now and see how they do

I read your post here and also in the main thread too. I understand where you are coming from, however we have tried several times to boost the Sunday tournaments, and just get continually hit with excessive overlay. Players were also not playing daily sattys to Sunday events. What we have done instead of the weekly overlay with a couple of €10Ks, is have a €110 €50K tournament at the end of the month. The first one was in December and the next one will be on the 31st March. I realize now that we maybe should have also run one at the end of this month.

Satellites for March's €50K Knockout will start on the 4th March

As above, daily sats just never started, and were only really popular on Sunday. The most popular sattys for the 2 €110s are in the lobby open for registration now, all starting Sunday

We could make the €110 Big Top a deepstack (starting at 17:00 GMT) to have a full week of 17:00 GMT deepstack tournaments - maybe see if we can increase the guarantee. Will have a think about making the later one a Super Bounty.

What time? Replace the Bullseye with this on Sundays?

Appreciate the rest of your comments and will talk internally about what can be done

There has not been one of these for the Big Top in months - however its there now, starts at 16:22 GMT with 1 seat guaranteed

Done!

start time for this?

6.45pm or 9.45pm prob the earlier one to get everyone involved


Great stuff Peter, schedule improving all the time!

Could put something in at 5.15pm, 9.45pm and 10.30pm as mentioned schedule kinda dies and more people might reg along with JJ 9.30 - game at 9.45pm the 10EB new game at 10.30pm and the 11RoR if they had other games to keep them busy

Could have mini deepstack sunday 44 bi and big top at 110 im sure pretty much everyone that plays sunday would play a 44 with a decent gtd at 5pm

6max rebuy same as RoR at an earlier time


Ty as always,and look forward to more new traffic!

Great , yes I meant I saw one of these running last week for the Mount O!

Saturdays Deepstack a great success, coughs

Get that 44 2.5K GTD penciled in for Sunday along with the Big Top Deepstack at 5pm

I put in a €22 €2K for today at 17:00 GMT

I am not interested in introducing a new buy-in level at this time, so it won't be a €44 (or €16.50), but it can be a €22, €33 or €55 from next Sunday

Thoughts?

This is just fine thank you Peter!

What is more, I really hope to see an mtt replacment at 14:00 GMT since the 10€ R/A that was there has been withdrawn.

Maybe another deepstack 11€ with 750€ - 1k gtd?

22 2K is fine should draw a good crowd(its 1500 atm)


Can you also try a 2.5K 551R1A Big Add on at 8pm 4/8/16K think this could work nicely on a Sunday evening

Done!

€7,500 Daily Deepstack on Sunday, €110 @ 17:00 GMT (replaces the €5K Big Top)
€5,000 Hitman (Super Bounty), €110 Super Bounty with a €50 bounty per player - it replaces the €5K Mount Olympus, starting at 18:30 GMT

We will see how these go this week and adjust as needed

Also added in these smaller ones for Sundays:

Sunday Mini Deepstack - €1,000 €11 @ 17:00 GMT
Sunday Micro Deepstack - €100 €1.10 @ 17:00 GMT
