Right now, the $11 Phase 1s average around 80 players per Phase from Monday-Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, the pace increases, and then on Sunday, around half of the eventual field joins. If we added a $33 or $55, I think Monday-Thursday would have almost non-existent participation and in the end the tournament would not be able to maintain an attractive guarantee. I agree that the "light at the end of the tunnel", so to speak, needs to be attractive. I think the $10K Payday scratches that itch for $11 players right now, but I don't think a higher stakes version can.

As it seems the pink Mega Sats work out really well in the schedule overall, but mostly turbo/hyper sats are offered for the Bounty Builders. So adding one well structured colored Mega Sat to each (or most) of the BB seems like a nobrainer. Double the guarantees on sunday!
I also think the reason why the Mega Sat to the Monday 6max was sometimes struggling was its small 2-3 seat guarantee. Show some heart with at least 5 seats and therefore earn more interest.
They do work well, but if they begin appearing at too high of a frequency, they won't be as attractive. This is why I was asking about Mega vs. regular speed. To be honest, I think anything we throw at the Bounty Builders would do well.

Added a $4.40 at 13:40 from Monday. Enjoy!

I'd prefer to target the more immediate Events, but the current plan is to deploy satellites for the whole Series as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow. It is more difficult to predict demand for these satellites than, say, SCOOP or WCOOP. There will be some learning with this one, so please keep providing feedback.

PCA satellites will tentatively run on Sundays until December 17th, while Prague satellites will likely run until ~December 10th.

Who remembers the $27 football fever phase running during the FIFA world cup 2014? This was a huge success.
Why not replace the current phase with a monthly one instead? Make a modest gtee to start with then increase it when it continually smashes it.
Yes, Football Fever did indeed crush. Nice memory you have there!
I think a monthly Phase would suffer much the same fate - there would be very little participation until the final few days. Basically, my inclination is that the longer the qualification period, the more likely it should be a promotion as opposed to a fixture in the weekly schedule.

Nothing has been confirmed, but likely to be later than usual - early February.

It has also been changed to a 2-day event! This was simply an oversight on my part, so thanks to those who pointed it out.

We had a recent mid-stakes series: WCOOP-Low. Still, who said that Red Spade Open is all that mid-stakes players will get to play over the holidays?

Since I can't get in to 3000 starting stacks my Stars volume will continue to fall. Shame.
Yes, we think it will be more popular as a regular tournament. If that turns out not to be the case, we're happy to revert the change.
