I would love to know the thought process behind this sng leaderboard. Everything about it is awful.

If I had ~$20k to make a great sng promo, this surely wouldn't be it lol

If I had to guess what a word bubble of the Merge thought process looked like, it'd be this; (

?.........uhhhhhh.........?

It's a ghost town across the board. Party NJ and WSOP NJ are both beating Revolution in cash game traffic lol. Of course, Party NJ isn't that much behind Merge and WPN either.

I took a little break from Carbon and was surprised at the rake increased and the changes. The micro-stakes SnGs rake is much higher, no more VIP perks for micro-stakes rec players like myself. Also no more daily freerolls, I built my bankroll from those and the .02/.04 Limit tables which are now gone too.

I'll still play there, it is my only option. There seems to be enough fish there that a predatory fish like myself can feed on.

the whole time i thought it was turbos/hypers grouped together.

Now it's grouped as regular/turbo. Did this change or was i messing this up the whole time???

They definitely changed it just recently.

Kinda messed up considering I would have played turbos rather than regulars.

F merge.

***
Leaderboards aren't correct now though since turbo players still show up on the hyper leaderboard.

Should say that this isn't a horrible change, but why change it 3 days in?

Did anyone find out a reason for people not being able to exchange vip points for cash?

I think that they would be grouped with the turbos. Now that the turbos seem to be with the regulars that is where the DONs should be. A few days ago I think that they were supposed to be grouped with the hypers. There was no way they could have competed with the hypers.

dons are turbo speeds so they are grouped with the regulars and hypers.

and +1 merge, its nice to finally see the hypers fenced off and given their own leaderboard. Now a regular/turbo sng grinder can win a leaderboard for a change.

Yeah I don't understand it either. I like giving micro and low stakes players free money. It allows them to move up/stay at their level even if they aren't good enough to beat the level on their own.

Hopefully that makes sense.

You should be able to.

Would be nice for them to put the leaderboard up. Only 3 days in...

of course, all R2R promo does is tracks rake, its essentially a rake race with the ability to play a few mtts to add a multiplier to ur rake generated

I see the reason now why I can't exchange vip points: have to earn 500 points to become the 1st vip tier.

Sorry guys I got notice of this around noon and have been too busy to get to 2+2 to post. There was an error on the new LB webpage that wasn't corrected until this morning. It was, as you surmised, concerning the groupings.

Yes, the leader boards and R2R are separate promotions and you will be competing in both as you play

That's my only issue with this change because we don't have an accurate idea of the current standings.

Would be awesome to know if they're going to switch the turbos already played from the hyper LB to the "regular/turbo"
