You almost had it, but this is step backwards. I believe that this would be the best type of leaderboard promotion. Three steps needed. Daily leaderboards, reasonable time range, constant amount of points for non-ITM positions.

1. Daily leaderboards are simply better, because recs have chance to participate in these. Everybody who is going to work, to school etc. can save a day or two during a week for leaderboard participation. Weekly leaderboards are for regs only.

2. Time range as stated in above posts. 24h grind is just impossible. There is nearly 100% chance that people will share accounts and have a big advantage. Having weekly leaderboard with no time range limit is just ridiculous and the advantage for shared accounts will be even higher! This will be the problem mainly in Low and Medium version.

3. Constant amount of points for non-ITM positions will help that players wont be max late regging and max timing every hand. Tournament structure wont be ruined and playing experience will be fine. It will also reduce a big advantage for Uppercut (Contender) winners in case of daily leaderboards.

You should really reconsider these changes before Monday, specially in Low and Medium version. There are people villing to cheat for a few bucks and you are offering 10k prize. If there were some suspicion in earlier leaderboards, now with this conditions you can be sure that it will be game of shared accounts.

"If there were some suspicion in earlier leaderboards, now with this conditions you can be sure that it will be game of shared accounts."

On this topic previous winners has disappeared I was going to record the list of players that have won back-to-back and see how they did in the weekly.

Gonna be serious multi-accounting in the low. You only need a small roll to play and 10k equals a few months earnings at those stakes.

Agree with the posts above that the daily leaderboard is way better than a weekly one. For the site and for the players. Only the point system needs some adjustments so that late regging and timing isnt rewarded
06-24-2017 , 01:35 PM
Bigger antes at least for the HRs pleas!

High leaderboard: From 8 packages per week to 5 packages per week? Can't see other prizes (currently in Estonia where Party Poker pages seems to be blocked but this seems very Bad change on terms of value.

Was expecting 10 weekly packages with low additional prizes or 8 weekly packages, with simply distributing additional prizes we had earlier to runner-ups. Maybe with 1st place claiming two packages to use an additional buy-in to keep it interesting. Didn't see out that Party would outright remove three packages from prizes.

E: Got infomation from prizes. Totally awful that high leaderboard got prizes cut altogether about one third on total from earlier prize pool. Maybe no worth of playing, depends on how many will play it.

And I agree what earlier people said about low/mid LB. Impossible to win if and when people cheat. No chance to grind 170 hours on a row alone without rest, for any human.

Offtopic but this block is purely cosmetic. You should get by it by switching to google's DNS servers(nothing will change with your connection speed or whatever). Not sure how to do it on a phone but for windows:

Was really surprised about the ratio of the prizes for high compared to mid/low, too, when there is such a big difference in the buy-ins.

Would just play the low and medium one, but 24h is to much for me

Was going to write something similar to this.

Pretty disappointing you have reverted to weekly Leaderboards, which was suggested by nobody here I think.

The best suggestion which was repeated a few times is to have constant points for all non-itm finish positions, as stalling is the major issue that needs addressing.

Instead we now have weekly leaderboards, the players who will benefit from this are the ones who break the TOS by account sharing.

Frustrating.

So i havent played much at all at partypoker. Can someone quickly summarize this leaderboard thing im hearing about on partypoker?


How many leaderboards are there?


What are the prizes for it? I checked partypoker.com on the whats going on in promotions and there is nothing show up there. Is this a weekly prize? Also i heard in this leaderboard, you have to play 24 hours in order to win it. If thats the case, how is that even possible for anyone to win this? I mean i cant imagine anyone playing more than 12hr per average a day. But anyone that plays 12 hours a day have no chance at the leaderboard?

Any comment on the double-entry points glitch that was occurring? Players were getting double-points for certain tournaments and nobody knew about it. Increased the the amount of shared accounts playing also.

Nothing excited wanted from software part, more important is that it works and is clear. See Uniber, software looks like candy but crashes all the times, is full of bugs, MTT view is total crap and you have to reinstall software once a month. Not like that, please.

Better and more informative main lobby would be appreciated for the list view (and never even consider removing it in favor of useless 1 click lobby). Like showing up time left for registration.

Keep the exciting part where it belongs like in new tournaments, nice guaranteeds and good promotions.

seems like low leaderboard is not working. No one has points so far, even though tournaments already reached the money.

Also curious, that in medium leaderboard a few players already had points before the 10.00CET tournaments reached the money (probably that double point glitch that was mentioned before?)

High leaderboard seems to work.

lol still no low leaderboard up. Double-entry glitch still in full swing and party doesn't seem to care. Tbh I'd expect zero action on the obvious shared accounts that will be playing at 5am tomorrow.
I'll be curious to see how many back-to-back winners will be on medium leaderboard by tomorrow.
06-26-2017 , 01:00 PM
Also I think there could be some multi-accounting going on in the High in an effort to secure multiple packages - that's only based on sharkscope ABI and ROI though. Russian accounts obv.
06-26-2017 , 04:30 PM
the schedule could use some $11 vanilla mtts

all those 6 max turbos with no timebanks during peak hours seem kinda illogical .
06-26-2017 , 07:42 PM
still no hand for hand in highroller, when 9 places are paid! Super annoying to play, while multitabling and pay attention to stall every single hand to the max!
This bug exists a few months now (since tables are 8 max)...

Playing at party is a nightmare, every 109+ tournament just gets impossible to play once it reaches 25~left

i dont care about leaderboard, i just want to sit down and play without anyone stalling every single f*** hand


Also, again, fix ur friday tournaments, they r all progressive for god sakes, i even like the 530 been prog, but the uppercut is just more of the same

Seems like no-one answered this. In short:

1) 3 weekly leaderboards: 5,5-11 / 22-55 / 109+ Power Series tournaments

2) Check site for more info, they are under promotions or check them from poker lobby -> promotions. 1x package for low, 2x packages for mid and 5x packages for high. Roughly all value is that for lowstakes LB and roughly 80% of prizes are those packages for mid/high LBs.

3) Yeah, for low and midstakes leaderboards you have to be able to grind 24/7 for 7 days a week since there's tournaments starting all over the clock. For high you actually may get 6-8 hours sleep!

4) You might get some smaller prizes, but no chance for packages. Exception might be high leaderboard, where you would miss like 3-5 tournaments.


I guess did make too few sacrifices to Ba'al, Odin, Zeus and other (poker) gods during weekend so no chance to win this week @ high LB. This new leaderboard is so much worse that it may be that I'll actually enjoy some summer this year I guess it's even far worse for those poor souls who actually try to win by playing fairly in low/midstakes leaderboards.

P. S. Noted that pads berated Stars in twitter for destroying rebuys and cubed tournaments. How about cleaning your own corner and doing something to that matter @ Party where you really could make a difference. There's certainly room for them, both in regular / turbo tournaments but in satellites too.
06-28-2017 , 04:57 AM
Yea not sure if Pads was consulted much in all this I know he's at the WSOP which is a pity.
Issue with the high of course is that over a week those 500s and the 2.6k really add up - like $13k in extra buyins that only a smallish proportion of regs can afford. At least with the daily you could take a shot.
06-28-2017 , 05:27 AM
party need more $11 mtts. just get rid of the pointless $5.50 pko's
06-28-2017 , 08:18 AM
Hey Collette. Just FYI the CPP click and collect promo works (awards the tickets) but the DTD 200 promo does not give you the ticket.

Cheers
