All of the daily Challenges now have the new blind structure with earlier antes. The midweek Crocodile has been increased to 20k, The Shot has been increased to 5k, The Tornado will be 10k as of tonight (for a trial period). Thanks for the feedback regarding satellites as well, they will be optimized.

would love to see some more rebuy tournaments anywhere in the schedule. a 33 or 11 would be awesome. Actually since the WED and FRI challenge are basically the exact same tournament, please make either challenge be 33 rebuy as opposed to having identical challenge mtts. Every other day is a different challenge.

Would be nice to have at least 1 satellite under 160 to the volcano on tuesdays that isnt a super turbo deep. The super turbo deep 60s and 30s are complete degen gamble fests, please replace one or two of them with a 2-3 seat guarantee 5k starting stack 10minute level.

the 22 rebuy 2k got canceld today, which is something iv never seen before. It should not be minimum 10 entrants to start please make it 6. This tournament would really benefit from the new early antee structure as it would increase more rebuys, making a bigger prizepool.

It is rare that this tournament is cancelled. As far as I can see it has a minimum of 6 players already. The early ante structure has now been added.

I play almost solely on 888 and I have some suggestions:

1. Make late registration longer for tournaments such as the $22 deep stacks and $24 $4000 to 2 hours because late reg ends at around bb200 with no ante and a 5k starting stack where it could go all the way up to bb500. The Swamp on sunday also needs longer late reg (could also be a daily tournament).

2. Continue changing all tournaments to the new structure with earlier antes.

3. Bring back the 109 6max I think it will be a lot more popular with the new structures but possibly make it 2nd chance like the 55 6max to pump up the prize pool.

4. Increase the guarantee of the Mega KO on Sunday and make a "5 seats GTD" satellite to it around 2 hours before it starts, not many people play the the $46 sattys with no gtd.

5. Add in a 55 turbo (both 6max or 9max) similar to the one you tested out into the schedule along with some more midstakes rebuys 22,33,55 etc. possibly add an earlier 11r around 2-3 hours before the one in the evening. You could also increase the guarantee of the main $11r to 10k and it would easily meet it.

6. Change the pretty withered "roller coaster" into a 5r turbo with atleast a 1k prizepool i think you will see it easily go up to 3k.

7. Add in a $109 mtt (branded similar to the daily "highrollers") and $11r just before the breeze where you dont offer many mid stakes mtts.

Thank you for the current changes too all the tournaments are playing a lot better and prizepools are slowly rising <3

-1 to points 1, 2 and 6. Roller Coaster is a great tournament and some of us prefer tournaments with smallish / medium fields. Also ridiculously long late registration creates problems like occasional "tournament going to near bubble during late reg". Also from my POW there is no need for antes in lower levels especially in smaller buy-in tournaments, and I would actually prefer some tournaments with much smaller antes as big antes mean mainly big flips and effectively smaller stacks (by M value).

But I agree that there should be more mid stakes MTTs, especially rebuys. You could also help to soften larger buy-in tournaments by offering us turbo rebuy sats (not 2x chances) with 3-10 seats guaranteed to those "highrollers" and for live events as well. Just label them like "turbo rebuy sats" so those players who loathe 2x chances can find them.

No need to make 888 to look like Stars by making all the changes they make.

I like your daily micro flagships

' The TWO' 2$' - 2000$ GTD at 14.45 ET
' The Daily 1$' - 500$ GTD at 15.20 ET
' The Grand Daddy 3$' - 1500$ GTD at 16 ET

but they take too long for my liking (as an euro player who needs to get up in the morning). What do you think about changing blinds to 8m or adding a 5m version with 50% of the GTD somewhere around it (+-30-60 minutes)?

-1, these are the best value micro tournies on basically any site due to their relatively deep structure, they're literally the only chances us micro guys get to play this structure on 888. Adding turbo version as well could work though

Would love a daily version of the Sunday 12 20k (micro dozen?) But maybe 30 mins earlier.

Would absolutely smash a 15k gtd daily and you could prob put the sunday gtd up after as people will know its daily rather than a sunday special

I've got numerous problems with your client, all mentioned to death on here.

Would appreciate the ability to see late reg tourneys after filtering in the "my favorites section".

Instead of from starting now, change the criteria to "in late reg" as the beginning data point.

1. Deepstack tournaments can definitely be 120 minutes. Done. Deepstack tournaments will remain with the later ante blind structure.
2. Like the Swamp idea. Now daily with 90 minute late registration. Let's see how it goes.
3. New $3,000 Guaranteed $11 R&A tournament will run daily as of today at 14:15 GMT. Of course we will raise GTD if it's popular.

Thanks and Good Luck!

If you choose start time now, you should be able to see tournaments in late registration as well.
