The cards on the board are too small, as are the players names and stack sizes. Our own name and stack size is so weird and positioned badly, its a big open space in the middle of the table and it just looks awful. The long information bar along the top is unnecessary, it takes up too much space and just looks bad across the whole window.

The new client (which includes a renewed table) has been updated for a minority of our players. If you are one of them, we are very happy to receive any feedback you may have. Please focus on specific issues you would like to see changed and we will make sure to pass it on to the relevant department.

This tournament was not performing well so it was removed.
If you have other suggestions for this time slot we are happy to try something else.

While you are correct that this is the time of year we usually run our XL Blizzard, the launch of the new client forced us to delay the XL to the end of March – beginning of April.
In the meantime, we will offer a couple of Special Sunday’s including a Sunday Sale, but even more interestingly is the upcoming “RakeLESS Sunday”:

The idea is a bunch of our Sunday tournaments with no rake at all and a special Main Event which will have a $300 buy-in and $100k GTD with no re-entries and of course no rake.
This event will have plenty of satellites and freerolls leading into it, creating for a very very good value tournament.

However, hilariously if you click on 'schedule' you see XL Eclipse schedule of last September, and if you click on terms and conditions of the apparent promotion for Blizzard, it quotes XL Inferno terms!



So I'm not sure if you can put complete faith in the info, but it does clearly say 7-17/02/2019, and that would explain why no satties or info yet.
The website has been fixed

Everything should work in both PT4 and HM2; the user will just need to manually set their preferred seat to the auto-center seat.

We are told they should be releasing a PT4 and HM2 update early next week which will detect the 888 version and auto centering properly so that no user configuration/changes are required.

@888Rep

The Pot (Number/Chips) is really bad placed on the table. It looks sometimes like a player is raising the amount but instead its the number of the pot. The Position is really bad if you multitable and ususing also a HUD.

I think it was mostly because of poor structure and late registration closing too early (both before add-on and too early for most players working, #metoo). So I'll be bit more specific this time:

Buy-in: 12$ r/a as earlier
Starting time: 16 GMT
Blind Levels: Exactly same as 2k turbo R&A catfish but with 10 minute blinds
Late registration: 12 levels / 130 minutes
Rebuy-time: 12 levels / 130 minutes

If you think structure is bit too shallow for regular speed, you can make starting stack / rebuy amount 10 000 and add-on 20 000 or even 30 000. While I am not fan of big numbers, this is easier than modifying blind levels. And red tournament could have a bit higher starting stacks.

This way late registration and rebuy-time runs 2x longer, and also allows those people who can't start a poker tournament before 5 PM GMT but can do it 6 PM GMT join. This will make both potential player and rebuy amount much higher.

how can i get the new client?

i have 2x setups and one has the new one and the other one (despite DLing it just now) still gets the old tables/client...

the numbers and fonts and own hole cards seem too small, make atleast an option to enlarge them plz.
also didnt find rebuy/addon options at the table, where do i find them?

otherwise looks good!

oh yeah and how long late reg is still open + current blindlvl should be displayed in the main lobby of that mtt (or when registering like on winamax), rly annoying to click in the side lobby etc

(sry for doublepost)

Don't have the new client but you need custom bet sizes pre (bb, preferably 2 decimal places) and post (% of pot), but welcome to the 2nd decade of the millennium.

Read up on the feedback in the other thread and it seems no custom bet sizes, very buggy and the software is an overall downgrade.

So gonna have to retract my welcome but most importantly you need to ensure you don't force an upgrade on those you haven't yet until it is at least equal to the current software. I'm a very fickle consumer and won't suffer beta software. I require payment to be some corps guinea pig.

Sometimes theres a window popping up in the table, its impossible to click on the X to close the popup, so you cant see 30% of the table and you have to close the complete table and open it again, that seems not right. I think the popup was something with a bonus info or a challenge info, dont now exactly now

if you get lucky and are able to play in a 2nd sat you will get cash, but usually you just can't enter a satellite if you already have a seat.
so if you reg two games that run at the same time and win a seat while the 2nd game runs it's ok. but if the 2nd game hasn't started yet, you will get unregistered when it's about to start.

there are some exceptions to it so if you already have a seat to a sub-sat you may be able to enter a different sat (different structure) but it's pretty hit n miss and does work rarely
