We have made an adjustment to our Progressive Knockout Tournaments (PKOs) going forward
Every PKO tourney with “Brawl” in the name & with a Buy-in of $55 or less have today had re-entry removed meaning these will be freezeout progressive knockouts going forward

Thanks

Colette

Would have been better if you took it one step further and also removed the PKO part of those games too but I guess that's asking too much.

micro mtt especially in the morning (1.10 2.20 5.50 )
can reduce the numbers of 6 minutes levels?

better if there was 8/10/12 min levels but just reduce the number of the 6 minute levels it's good
maybe
10/6 min levels
10/8 minute levels

something like this

really thanks

6/8/10 minutes levels are imo super fast, but even 8/10/12 levels feels fast actually. Around 25-30BBs most of the time. I think you should aim for at least 35-40BBs average. How about 10/12/14 levels you use for HS stuff?

^ exactly

Please adjust powerfest structures to at least 8/10/12 minutes blinds at all levels.

If you want to spread HS events - no problem! However, please don't ruin lowstakes schedule again with PKOs for a few hours in a row.

When 888 had decent mtt traffic they run very popular Friday Challenge. Your potential "fast" tournament will last probably for 5 hours anyway. Sng hero might "work" better with beer than mtts.

Totally agree with this.

Fire a session on party and you cant late reg anything.

I dont think a turbo day is necessary, if people dont wanna sit for hours they have plenty of other stuff to play and turbos outside of the specials. Rather have a deepstack day and friday seems like a good day for it because people dont have to wake up early the next day.

Just look how poor fast friday are doing on Stars, only 300 runners (2x re entry aswell) on a 215 major that starts peaktime.

what happens if i qualify for two 220€ tickets for the party poker grand prix germany do i get a second ticket or do i recive tournament $????

You can play multiple Day 1s and the highest stack is taking forward to Day 2
You will receive the 2nd ticket

Why don't you have the PKO tournies :30 each our and the freezeouts at :00? Seems to work well for other sites..

+1000.

This is just the nature of daily tournaments, it's just not possible to have an 8handed mtt that constantly has a 35-40bb average stack and finishes at a reasonable speed unless you literally start the mtt with 40bb. I agree structures could be slightly slower, but 10/12/14 mins on a huge field will take too long for a non-series.

This!!!

It's time for 5 PM [UK Time] PKO's GTD Boost. It's a popular format and it never overlays, but having 10k GTD for $215 MTT or 20k GTD for $109 is very bad. It definitely won't get mainstream attention/growth because in hour window you can play BB109 on Stars with way bigger GTD & way softer field.
Please consider boosting GTD's at least slightly.

yes please!
55+ should aim to go with 12/14/16, 10min is too fast in the beginning imo.

You can always make tournaments 2-day events right? plus structures they are using now are def too fast. The higher ( highest ) stuff should def start with atleast 12 min. With the amount of runners the high stuff is getting it will end at reasonable times.

Series should be special, so structures should be better then you're normal schedule.

+1 to everything, I guess we both likely remember the same rumour from a certain Discord chat somewhere in late 2016 regarding Party working on a brand-new software About 15 months since then and all we got is basically a new skin that's not even better than skins you can buy online.

Why on earth did you decide to ditch the idea of 2-day tournaments and make every tournament 1-day again? Especially since the series last 2 weeks. Is it because of the 10-min levels?

Winamax just ran (again) very successful Wseries with basically every event being 2-day.

Also, FLHE is still 8-max and not 6-max as it definitely should be. It's a limit game played without antes ffs

You have to remember that Wina is for European market solely but party have a lot of Canadians and South American players etc. Canada is likely a huge market for party and 2 days is probably difficult.

That said I'd love 2 dayers myself. Didn't get a chance to try them when they happened last year.

Can you talk about why you keep sticking all promotional money into leaderboard prizes?

Have you run any type of analysis on why do you think it's a better use of your money over handing out reload bonuses to recrational players for example? Are there people on your stable that will make a run for these leaderboards?

From my point of view: an average $22 $5k GTD seems way more reg-infested on Party vs other sites, it seems very strange that you keep actively trying to widen this gap even further.

I assume you all are tired of hearing this but here's some specific feedback on software:

Let's take a look at the info tab here:


It seems dumb to have "Chips in play" at the very top, no one cares about this. Especially since I now have to scroll down to see "Your position".

Why not use seperators for thousands? When it's a large field tournament, it can be tough to make out what exactly the largest stacks are. The same issue is in tournament lobbies. To hammer it home:
17237819 = bad
17,237,819 = good

It's dumb that I have to manually keep hitting the refresh button. This should be a little trickier but the goal should be that every time a new hand is dealt, it automatically refreshes, like Stars for example.

Display people left and places in the money somewhere openly on the table so I can have the chat box open alongside it. Even 888 got this done! If you're going to do this, I think the Winamax method looks the best.

If you're overhauling the entire software, there are many things I would copy from Winamax. More specifically on MTT tournaments: the players stack sizes should physically be very large numbers from a font-perspective. They are so tiny on your current software that during multi-tabling, extra focus needs to be used.

+1. Chips in play at the top is annoying. You could easily move the values closer to the labels and get a second column in so there was no need to scroll at all.

+1 to all of this

also annoying: simply marking somebody as reg/fish is so complicated. Right click on the nickname would be way easier. Also its kind of worthless to give players a certain color if you dont show them in the lobbies.
But well, I said that 1 1/2 years ago
