Prog ko with 50% bounties. Half the field has already busted (you regularly see these with 40% of the field left still in late reg on Party thanks to the absurdly long late reg period). Half of the bounties go back to circulation thanks to the progressive format, so you're only -25% ROI (+rake) to start the tournament. Good luck with that. Also getting like 15BB with very limited fe in this format is an alternative negative factor etc etc. Basically these are just trap tournaments after the first 2-3 levels and shouldn't have a long late reg at all.
Longer late reg makes a little bit more sense in normal MTTs but it's still way too long. It's absurd to lose a 400k flip then get asked if you wanna re-enter on a regular basis.
Didn't mean to sound overly negative, I'd say if before the most recent changes my satisfaction level was 1/10 it's now a solid 7.5/10. Definitely a lot of good stuff has happened. But there are a few very easy to implement changes that I'm hopeful we'll see happen soon.
