Sorry but no, this can't be right. It doesn't "make sense" to change the announced schedule during the series, less than 24h before the events. The tournaments were nicely spread across the day precisely to allow more people to play.
What does make sense is to plan in advance and not be overly optimistic on you guarantees if you don't want massive overlays. If your peak time is at 8pm CET, it's unrealistic to expect field sizes you've never had before, at 2-4-6pm.
I honestly thought these huge gtds were intentional to create overlay & buzz. I'm surprised to see they're not and how you're reacting after only 1 day of the series.
Given how people were always complaining about the conservative gtds during series on PS, I strongly believe this wasn't Bryan setting the gtds on these tournaments, and whomever overruled now does all these schedule changes to reduce the consequences. That would also explain Bryan not posting here anymore.
Might be better to take a hit, learn the lesson and conserve a clean reputation. What info are you getting about the potential of $33-55 tournaments mid-afternoon (CET) now that you moved these?
