For the last 3 sessions I have been using the new software and working with the head of tech to fix the small issues and find some small rooms for improvement. The new software will hopefully be out on February 5th, but if not will be very soon. I have had no big problems grinding 3 sessions using it and it is a HUGE improvement in my opinion.
Tomorrow the first "new" schedules will go into the client, they will be "live" from February 5th. There will be the new leaderboard and (HOPEFULLY!!!) the new software, please don't go crazy when you see a bunch of PSKO. Mondays will have psko specials, each day will have its own theme, Wednesdays 6max etc.
Previously there was a lot of cannabalization because there was 3-4 main points for when tournaments started, the new schedule is designed for as little cannabalization as possible, every hour there will be a new tournament ready to start at all different buy in ranges.
We have reduced the number of tournaments we have, got rid of all small runner ones and replaced them for high quality, high runner, high guarantees.
In UK time the schedule will follow:

Previously a lot of people innacurately thought that schedules were created for my self interest and lots of other theorems, I've worked daily on this schedule for the last month to bring as much variety as possible, as little cannibalisation as possible and the biggest possible guarantees we could stretch throughout all stakes, but especially the lower stakes. I'm fine for people from now to hold me responsible and where necessary flame me for not giving all stake levels equal treatment. It's only from now that this criticism would be fair. Other game types such as PLO, PLO8 will be reviewed from Powerfest before decisions made on where/when/what/how.
