Interesting to see that, double the amount of F/O's ran in comparison to Boosters. I think this highlights what we're talking about in regards to players wanting to play more F/O's.

I have a suggestion...

You currently have the €5.50 kilobyte flagship daily MTT.

How about starting with a flagship daily MTT (at a different time) at a lower buy-in eg: €1.10 or €2.20 or €3.30? You could call it the Microbyte.

Not 100% sure what would work in regards to a GTD but, it would have to stand out and be sufficient enough to get those with smaller BR's to want to play in it. They would no doubt see success in something like this as a stepping stone to bigger things (such as the kilobyte) and therefore it would benefit other MTT's in the long run also.

Or...if a daily one seems a bit of a stretch, then how about the same concept but, only run it on your busiest traffic day (usually a Sun for most sites) to start with to see how it goes. You could call it the Sunday Microbyte or something...

It's things such as what i'm suggesting, along with some marketing, that IMO is likely to get smaller stakes players more interested in depositing and playing on MPN.

Can you give some specific feedback on this point? I am very open to ideas on how to improve them.

When I first started with MPN (end of May) one of the first things I did was start to introduce more satellites (and different formats), as well as introduce direct feeders to some of the larger events. These feeders run daily to the following Sunday tournaments:

€5,000 Big Top (€110 FO)
€4,000 Big Break (€5.50R)
€12,500 Sunday Mosh Pit (€20R)
€7,500 Mount Olympus (€110 FO)
€7,500 High Society (€215 FO)

Feeders to feeders are also on the network, however very few of the them run.

Sundays are getting a lot better for feeders running. The main issue for the daily feeders, is getting the minimum number of players to start - which I feel is pretty much at the minimum limit now, before it opens itself up to abuse. Once the satellites start, they generally do quite well, and often award more seats than they guarantee. Hopefully with the recent structure changes, more players will want to play the early stages now, and the satellites start to take off. Again, suggestions are welcome.

I am in the middle of putting all the satellites (360+ per day) onto the system for UCOP. They will start this Sunday (19th August). Quick summary:

The schedule (which might change somewhat) is shown here

Point taken that our Sundays are smaller than most, however we cannot just put in one/more big tournaments and write off the guarantee. We have been adding tournaments to Sundays, as well as the satellites above. I will look at seeing if we can bump the €110 €7.5K Mount Olympus and the €20R €12,500 Sunday Mosh Pit up a few K (won't be for this Sunday)

Please post your feedback regarding the auto timebank here:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...hread-1718857/

You can also put the same feedback in the new Prima client, if you have it downloaded

As mentioned above regarding the satellites, they are daily (with a lot more on Sunday), if you start off the registering, then the stand a better chance of firing

At the start of June we lowered a lot of the guarantees due to WC and seasonality, but they have now started to go back up, as well adding as a lot more daily and Sunday tournaments. A quick example is the 17:00 UK time €11R Lost Vegas, it went from €1,400 -> €1,500 -> €1,777 -> €2,000 in the last 21 days, and it will be bumped up again very shortly. Not huge, not mind blowing, but I am keeping on top of what can go up. You can check the progress here:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...54&postcount=2

I only keep about a week's worth of information there, but am happy to PM you the full list of it if you are interested.

Checking to see how the new €55 does at the current time slot for the next while, then will adjust if it should be.

Done! (Put it at €300 for now)

Points taken on the above, but we will keep them at 3K for now, to see how they do after a large change in blinds structure. There are a couple of deeper stacked rebuys, as well as couple of 1R1As on the network currently:
16:00 €11 €1,500 Turbo Deepstack Rebuy
18:30 €11 €1,000 Turbo Deepstack Monster Rebuy
20:30 €33 €1,500 Daily Early Bird Scrooge 1R1A
22:00 €22 €1,000 Turbo Early Bird 1R1A

€2.20 €100 Freezeout at 19:15 UK time replaced with the €3.30 €250 Deep Bankroll Builder

10K Starting Stack with 2 hours late reg. Starts just after the €11 €500 Turbo Deepstack Freezeout, so hopefully it will overlap with some players too.
“Build your Bankroll with this €3.30 Deepstack Feezeout. Win this tournament twice in 30 days to have it temporarily renamed after you!”

I should suggest things more often! Looks like i'm back playing on MPN again - i'll definitely be a starter for the above. Nice one

If an Early Bird Freezeout starts at XX:50 and there is no break 5 minutes later, there is a huge disincentive to reg it.

Thanks for your reply.

I haven't played much on MPN since the end of May and I didn't know that more had been added. Just had a look and seen the must play satellites for the Sunday tournies which is exactly the kind of thing that has been always needed. UCOP satties look great too - just seen your 100 seat mega feeder to the main... Excellent.

It is more about letting people know they have a chance to satellite into the bigger tournaments, so I hope you put a lot of marketing into promoting UCOP sats to let smaller buy in players know they can take a shot at the bigger money.

Great chance to get market share now for MTT players.

For Sundays, a lot of the players that I know just don't have the roll to play a 100 Freezeout or a 20 rebuy (where you can easily be in for 60/80 bucks

I see 10 and 20 buy in freezeouts with many hundreds of runners on sites other than stars on a Sunday. Would be great if after UCOP - MPN could just get one Sunday tournament of a smaller buyin (say 22) - or even something monthly. Promote the hell out of it, get more than 1000 runners, make it an event and have the winner get more than 100x their buy in for first.

GL, you are on the right track and tempting me to take a look more at your lobby.

@MPN Peter

Any chance of making ''The Most Interesting'' €10r an unlimited re buy rather than 1R 1A? I reckon it would smash the guarantee, it used to get almost €1k ftw now lucky to get 700 some days. I know a lot of the smarter regs max late reg it as that makes sense long term but if it was unlimited re buys I like many others would be in from the get go.

Wasn't able to play in the first one of these today (due to prior commitment and just getting home) but, have had a look to see how it went.

Got 74 runners (kilobyte got 71 so, similar numbers).

Fell short of GTD but, reasonable start and something to build on, considering the change in MTT/buy-in and it being it's first day?

I think you should add at least add 1 level more pre add on, its pretty turbo in the last level, even in in the moshpits that is 10mins, if you play only 1 bullet you get like 8bbs and before was 15bbs i remember.

@MPN Peter is there anychance of bringing back the old Survivor mtts from back in the day with some bigger buy ins?

Sorry for the lack of responses over the last couple of days. I have just finished entering over 360 daily UCOP satellites into the system, which is a lengthy task. All the satellites are now live in the lobby, and you can register for them all. They kick off at 00:01 GMT this Sunday (19th August). There are both direct feeders and ticket satellites.

Direct feeders are clearly marked, and if you win one of these, you will be automatically registered for the target event, which you will be unable to unregister from, standard stuff.

Ticket satellites will give a generic ticket to whoever win these satellites. They can be used for ANY tournament with the same buy-in until UCOP ends (ie they can be used for the regular daily tournaments also, and of course can be used in other satellites). The satellite tickets will last until at least the end of UCOP, and you can check the expiry of the ticket in your account. And again, you can still use these tickets after UCOP ends (just make sure to use them before they expire!).

Starting this Sunday, is qualifying for the Main Event Freeroll. Play in at least 10 €11+ (Buy-In of €11.00 or higher) UCOP satellites from 00:01 GMT Sunday 19th August – 14:00 GMT Sunday 23rd September to earn your ticket. The freeroll starts at 14:00 GMT on Sunday 23rd September and it awards 3 seats (direct feeder) to the Main Event! It will be set up as an achievement, and once you earn your ticket you will need to register for the tournament yourself. Note that the €11+ satellites must have “UCOP” in their name!

Some UCOP satellite daily highlights:

Over 360 with buy-ins from €0.11 - €110
15 seats to the Main Event
35 seats to the 100 Seat Mega Feeder
2 seats to the €320 High Roller (€40K)
An 11c Monster Rebuy (direct feeder) to the 100 Seat Mega Feeder at 17:41 GMT

Along with the above, we also have:

A €22 100 Seat Mega Feeder to the Main Event (guaranteeing €11,000 in seats), at 13:30 GMT on Sunday 23rd September. 1 in 5.5 entries will win!
A weekly 11c Monster Rebuy (direct feeder) to the Main Event – each Sunday at 19:33 GMT

All satellites guarantee at least 1 ticket/seat! I would expect that the prime time satellites will begin to have higher amount of tickets/seats guaranteed as these start to take off.

A full schedule can be found here: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...23&postcount=3

If you note any issues in any of the satellites, please PM me or post here!


I see where you are coming from here, however, you could early reg such an event, play the first 5 minutes and then just sit out for the next 5. You should have more chips at :00, than you would if you registered at :00. Saying that, I have moved the tournament in question to 10 minutes earlier than before

Scroll up and have a look at the banner (and if you don’t see anything UCOP sat related, hit F5 a couple of times)!

Will more than likely be leaving it as a 1R1A, there are a couple of €11Rs around it, including the Lost Vegas.

However, its been doing great recently, so let’s bump the daily to €2,500 and the Sunday to €3,000 (both updated, and Saturday’s is now €2,500)

2nd run of it was not great, but today’s covered. Will continue to monitor

You should be getting 12bbs (3K/250) now in the last level of registration for the Mosh Pit! We will let the current structure run for a bit and review it after UCOP.

How big are we talking? I can certainly take a look (they were before my time, but I am aware about them). Only issue is that the guarantees will be small or the minimum needed will be high, due to the late reg limitations

--
With regards to the freezeouts at night, the new €2,000 The Deep Fifty-Five & the €1,200 Megabyte, they are definitely stepping on each other’s toes, so I am looking to remove one of them. As we have a €33 30 minutes later (€1,500 Daily Early Bird Scrooge 1R1A), we can look to remove the €33 Megabyte. Some ideas

1) Keep the €55 The Deep Fifty-Five, and rebrand the Kilobyte as the €5.50 Mini Deep Fifty-Five. We could also bring in a €0.55 Micro Deep Fifty-Five. All same structures as the €55.

2) Along with the above, also add in a €22 FO with the same structure at the same time. There should be enough gap between the €55 and the €22 so that both won’t suffer

3) Other suggestions welcome

Yeah, I played it both yesterday and today. Numbers seemed to be down overall for a few MTT's yesterday from what I noticed...

did u remove the deep 55? i dont see it for saturday or sunday

It was originally set up to be just Mon-Fri, to allow the Megabyte to continue on the non-weekdays. But I have removed the Megabyte for the weekend and brought in The Deep Fifty-Five for this Saturday and Sunday. Live in the lobby and open for registration now for Saturday

Noticed your offering 'bounty' MTT's in the upcoming UCOP...

Would really like to see some of these offered at various stakes in the regular schedule and am curious as to why there not there already?! I play them regularly on other poker sites and there massively popular...

@MPN Peter maybe a 10e 20e 30e and 50e spread out throughout the day.

See how this goes the runners they get etc..

Also maybe add in a bounty tournament on Sundays and Saturdays.

Also quoting AKJMoscow i think the most interesting tournament should be unlimited rebuys i myself do late reg it always as a double buy in without guaranteeing the add on is pointless. It would also create a larger prizepool maybe look to swap and make the lost vegas a 1r1a. turbo structures as a rule always need to be unlimited rebuys.

As per a recent post of mine, after a suggestion from here, we have now increased 2 Sunday tournaments:

€22R Sunday Mosh Pit is now €15,000
€110 Mount Olympus is now €10,000

To aid the increase in the Mount Olympus, there are 2 new/modified direct feeder satellites daily from Monday-Saturday:

1) A “half price” Turbo 2R1A 1 Seat Guaranteed, €5.50 Buy-in with €3.30 Rebuys and Addon. “Half price” as the usual set up for this would be €11/€5.50/€5.50. This only needs 3 entries to run, and will hopefully pick up steam. 17:05 GMT (18:05 UK time)
2) A 2 Seat Guaranteed €22 Mega. This replaces the 1 Seat Guaranteed at the same time (18:05 GMT, 19:05 UK time). This also only needs 3 to run. Do not risk late regging this if it starts with the minimum, as registration closes once it’s ITM.

Hopefully both will start each night and maybe get a couple of extra seats!

If you are interested in playing either/both of these, then it would be great if you registered well before they start, so that others follow.

Also increased is the Saturday Mosh Pit to €6,000 and the Saturday Lost Vegas to €1,777. There will be a few more increases over the coming days, but those are the major ones


Bounties are very painful to manage in the system currently, if any changes are made by myself (such as changing a guarantee, or wording in the description or a change to the notification about it, etc) it has to go back and be modified by someone in the IT team to work properly. That is the reason that the bounty tournaments are yet to be open for registration for UCOP, and won’t be until everything is finalized with them.

There is a change coming up, to help deal with this and make it easier. I don’t have any sort of ETA, but I do know that it’s near the top of the priority list. Once this is complete, there will be more bounty tournaments on a regular basis.

Thanks, will see what we can do with regards to survivor tournaments.

Bounties addressed above.

Will still keep TMI the way it is for now, but I appreciate the additional feedback

Yeaa like the idea of having a 55F and 22F 10K stack, everyone love deepstack tourneys

PKOs are fish magnets on other sites- better introduce them. KOs with 10% rake looks like rake grab.

https://gyazo.com/70819e46cd5e241ed57dcdec7b7d577d

https://gyazo.com/eea3f3761ab55887bcae9fdd4824815b

No men is (3K/350) this is to much turbo its basically playing a monster in the last 2 levels :/, you should add 1 or 2 levels more pre add on.

I appreciate that the 11e deepstack has a different structure but for such a small field it feels quite extreme. I probably won't play it again unless it's a bit faster and I think a lot of people feel the same when there are 6 BIs for first.

I have added in a €400 €5.50 at this time (it replaces the €350 €5.50 Kilobyte) with the same structure. It is called €400 The Mini Deep Fifty-Five

Also a micro tournament with a €0.55 Buy-in and €40 guarantee with the same structure has been put in - €40 The Micro Deep Fifty-Five

These are at 19:00 GMT (20:00 UK time) for anyone who is not aware

Thoughts on a name for this €22 "Fifty-Five"? Don't think we can really do a half price fifty-five, as that introduces a new buy-in that we do not use anywhere else and I do not want to bring it in (€27.50)



Such tournaments are coming and are being developed currently. I do not have an ETA on when they will be ready

Alright I see which tournaments you are referring to now. Previously the end of late registration was not synced with end of rebuy/addon period. If a tournament went on a break, then late reg would be 5 minutes off, if it was 2 breaks it would be 10 minutes, etc. What I did was sync them all when I first started (May/June of this year).

However, some players would late reg in the last couple of seconds, and it can take about 1 minute for a player to get seated in certain scenarios (all tables currently full is the primary one). This means that players might actually miss being able to rebuy/addon, as they were not seated at a table in time. While this issue is currently being fixed, end of rebuy/addon period has been pushed by 60-120 seconds depending on the tournament. Hence why you might be playing 2-3 hands at 175/350 before you can addon. I have noted that a ton of players are stalling around this time anyway, and we are not going to add in another level or 2. Once the seating issue is fixed, I do not think this should occur further

Hi Mickey,

We have a number of €11 freezeouts within a couple of hours of this tournament. Players have requested a deepstack FO with longer levels, and this is for them! It does normally do a lot better, and is generally €200+ in the prize pool. If it continues to run, we will keep it around.

It does change to a €250 guarantee on Sundays - €250 Sunday Deepstack Freezeout

Hi Peter

Thanks for the answer. I only played it once but on the bubble 4-handed there was around 400 big blinds in play and was moving so slow that the most recreational player started open shoving almost every hand probably out of boredom for 100bbs, and i'm afraid a player like that probably won't play it another time. If it's usually more populated than yesterday and there is a demand for it then that's obviously great and it should be kept as it is, but if it underperforms please consider making it a bit faster

Name it the Twenty-Two Deep but trial this with 8min clock and make it 750 GTD

Would love to see say a Thirty-Three Deep(1R only) also on a Saturday and Sunday - say at 4pm and go for a decent guarantee with long late reg

Say 2K on a Sat and double to 4K on a Sunday - Weekend Special and aim to grow

Sunday Break da Bank is now €1,500
Sunday Early Bird Scrooge 1R1A is now €2,500

Would love to get the Daily EB Scrooge up to €2,000. It will be soon if the current numbers continue/grow

Regarding Bounty Tournaments:

This has been requested several times in the IP sub-forum also. So lets try some, and hope that the guarantees are not too far off

Potential:

€11 Mid afternoon UK time (14:00-16:00) €400 GTD?

€33 Around primetime (17:00-20:00) €1,000 GTD?
€5.50 mini of the above, same structure, times etc €250 GTD?

€22 Nightly (20:00-23:00) €500 GTD?

If you think the above won't work, then come up with some different times/ buy-ins/etc

Anyone who wants to input on this, please give me:


Structures (presuming all freezeouts, but can do whatever)
Levels (6 min / 10 min / other)
Late Reg time
Starting Stacks
Bounty % (presuming 50%)

And to clarify, a €1,000 GTD Bounty would have the bounty % removed from the prizepool (eg if its 50%, then the prizepool would have €500 in it, etc)

These would not be PKO, we do not yet have the functionality

Would look to start these next week after feedback from here

Appreciate the feedback! Will keep an eye on it

What time for the Twenty-Two? If names and level times are being changed, then I don't think it should have the same start time

For the €33 Deep on Sundays. Make it a booster (1 rebuy of €22)? 10K stack. 10 Minute Levels? 120/150/180 mins late reg? Could start it at 16:30, after the €110 Big Top and before the €5.50 Big Break and €11 TMI. Possibly a €3K GTD to start with. Unsure about a Saturday tbh, would have to be a much smaller GTD

How about 7.15pm for the Deep Twenty-Two, around primetime - in between the Mosh/Mosh Lite and 8 min blinds would be good to trial

That sounds good for Saturday/Sunday - so u mean 5.30pm UK time
1K Gtd Saturday - 3K Sunday to start off and grow!
