The ability to see stacks in BB would be great.
More levels would always be better, longer levels would always be better.
The schedule is kind of strange. I don't really understand why the bigger tournaments all start at the same time. For example today, a 55/10k and 22/5k started at the same time with late reg ending at the same time. A 215/15k, 5.50/3k, 55/40k and 22/5k are all starting at the same time with late reg ending the same time. But in the two hours between those two sets of tournaments there's an 11 satty, an 11/5k, and a 22 plo8. I don't know why the bigger games aren't spread out a little bit, it seems like stacking them like this kind of cannibalizes some of the player base.
I love how you offer 1.5k worth of seats every day to casino and windfall players. Daily cross promotional promos like that are great for everyone involved. While a flat across-the-board rakeback would be ideal, baring that I think that giving away a few thousand worth of seats every day is the best option for rewarding tournament players, much better than a weekly/monthly grinder-focused leaderboard. Those are better suited for cash and SNG players.
Bounty tournaments should have 1st and 2nd pay the same and be 50% of the buyin as the bounty amount as a default. Having a $33 where the bounty is $11 makes no sense. Also I don't see why there aren't more pko's, at higher amounts. The biggest daily pko is a $22 and there's nothing in the evening. If you put a 55pko at 9pm eastern with a 15k gtd, I doubt it would ever overlay.
Also there are no decent sized turbos on the late night schedule. Seems like a missed opportunity.
