I really enjoyed playing those zoom freerolls specially because it started with 10k chips(for completing 10 challenges) , I like playing tourneys which start with 10k chips and 50/100 and turbo structure like this one. If this same challenge gave us tickets to all in shootout freeroll, I would have not completed even one challenge. I would be completing a challenge for all-in shootout only if it required very minimum effort like playing a regular tourney which I already do, otherwise I wouldn't even care.
Some data I have that shows why I don't like all-in shootout freerolls:
I played
2 Zoom freerolls($250,000+$250,000=$500,000 prizepool) and I have already
won $15
Played
59 all-in shootout freerolls(Aggregated prizepool - $1,645,000 from 59 freerolls) and
won $19.40
I know the sample is very very tiny, but the above numbers gives me no encouragement to complete challenges that rewards me all-in shootout tickets.
I agree that having all-in shootouts allows players to play from all timezones , also you don't have to even play but you'd be losing players from either way.
Anyway, I liked zoom format, not that I played zoom tourney for the first time, but because it forced me to play a zoom tourney, and I liked the format and I looked for a zoom tournament in my playing timeslot(09:00 ET - 14:00 ET) schedule but couldn't find one
I have suggested in mttc thread asking them to add one in that timeslot.

At the moment as far as I am aware there is no leader boards for 18 man games and below, even if you do not want to add prizes for the winners how about at least just provide us with access of the old style BOP leader board showing points.
