It seems Breeze is gone. I guess it would to possible to put it between lightning and great 88 or great 88 and crocodile, for instance, at 16:15 CET or 18:00 CET.

run a monthly $888 with $888,888 gtd

give a seat to the winner of each Great 8, have anyone who FTs entered in a free roll for some other seats to the monthly

run a big $88 mega sat must play daily (lots of $8 sats into the $88 mega)

Think considering how they barely get 1500 entries into the xl main with reentries, this thing would have to have reentries as well if it was to run monthly. I think the idea overall is really nice tho and might work

The rakeback/loyalty rewards programme is ridiculous. Currently at level 93 I have to play 5 days in a row and rake a certain amount in order to get $1.45 rakeback.... 30 cents rakeback a day... really?

Concrete suggestions on small stakes/micros:
*$1.5 r&a at 19:15 CET - increase gtd from 1,2k to 1,5k (PP usually is from 1,6k-1,7k).
*$2 the two at 20:30 CET - increase gtd from 1k to 1,2k.
*$3 FO at 19:00 CET - increase gtd from 1,2k to 1,5k (it should not get less than 500 players every day).
*$5 turbo blowfish at 19:00 CET - increase gtd from 1k to 1,2k (it should not get less than 250 players every day).

Please introduce the 8-8-8 turbo versions (other people have suggested it as well). The 8-8-8 turbo could replace $12 1k turbo deep at 19:30 CET and $5 1k turbo deep at 22:45 CET (none of them is performing too good).

Thanks. We increased the tournament in your first suggestion from $1.2K to $1.5K. Unfortunately the other tournaments you mentioned do not regularly cover the guarantees you suggested.
We did add an 8-8-8 Turbo at 22:15 GMT which has been going well and we will increase as of today from $1k to $1.2k.

Good suggestion. We will look into this.

Don't ruin the Monsoon, the Swordfish, for instance. Wednesday Challenge is ruined already, it has become much faster than bigs of Pokerstars; 10 min levels without T1400, T2400 etc. - WTF?

We increased the Wednesday Challenge blind levels from 10 to 12 minutes. The new structure that removed a couple of post late reg levels was only added to The Challenges that lasted very long and to a couple of the late night tournaments.

A 8-8-8 turbo in the morning and afternoon would be welcome

The 6pm $11 ko could probably have a gtd boost.As there are not many kos on the site it would probably work as some kind of major with a new name and nice gtd.

Delete the struggeling 55$ Monsoon on Tuesdays and make it a Mini Volcano- same Buy-in of 55$ with 12k GTD- will attract more players!

8-8-8 Turbo at 19:00 CET should be able to beat 2k-4k. Turbo Blowfish with re-rentries and increased gtd later at night should do better (at 19:00 CET nobody is interested in branded $5 1k turbo. Your own $5 2,5k deep stack at 18:45 CET crushes it).

Wednesday Challenge with 12 minute levels look better. Thanks!

why are there so many turbo's at 18:00 and 19:00 CET in the first place? this time zone should have more reg speeds and a better choice of tournaments, not so many turbo's in this busy time period, but i do agree if they are going to have turbo's at this time, may aswell have the flagship 8-8-8.

also i just noticed the structure for the 8-8-8 turbo has a faster structure than most of the other turbo's, there are no levels like bb1400 bb2400, bb2800 etc, please could you change this?

Hey guys,

Following Bocmanis's suggestion from a while ago, we have added another buy-in level for our Fish 'N' Chips series - $22 Starfish.

The tournaments that were added to our daily schedule are:

GMT
02:15 - The $2,000 Late Night Starfish
07:15 - The $2,500 Pacific Starfish
12:45 - The $2,500 Early Starfish
14:30 - The $5,000 Deepstack Starfish
18:00 - The $5,000 Starfish
19:45 - The $2,500 8-Max Starfish

Some tournaments around the $22 buy-in level were removed/replaced by the Starfish tournaments.
We will adjust the guarantees next week. If you have any feedback or suggestions we are happy to hear you out.

Good luck and have fun at the tables.

nice additions but a little disappointing they are all $22 buy in's, there is not enough lower stakes tournaments, would have liked to seen more $3, $5, $6 buy in freezouts some 8 max and 6 max etc. There is no 6 max low stakes at peak time whatsoever.

I also wanted to let you know that we have released a new version today, with an addition which we hope tournament players will appreciate. The new feature will show player position in the tournament as well as how many players are left until the money is reached. Both stats will be present on the table and will update in real time.

It will take a few days until this version updates automatically but you can get it now by downloading from our website.

Don`t see the point of playing on your site anymore.
You killed the best tournaments with this turbo structures.
So the Wednesday Challenge has no 1600/1800/3500/7000 levels. I don`t get why you eliminated those intermediate blinds. If I wanna play a turbo then I will register a turbo.
Now Big 7.5$ on Stars has better structure than this challenge.

great additions!

can you please make all rebuys 3k/3k/6k? At least the 12r. The 12r 12:15 CET was one of the best tourneys in the early schedule before u changed it to 2k/2k/4k

+1 rebuys need more chipies and ideally u make them blue and label them somehow like LIZZARDS or sth. they are super easy to overlook and deserve a special treatment imo
