Hey all,
Thanks for pointing this out. Deployed it after reading this post. 
Unfortunately, these dummy tournaments were deployed to the incorrect lobbies. We've just removed them. Apologies!
This is a fair criticism, but the uncertainty of creating pay tables on short notice was the reasoning for the disclaimer in the tournament lobbies and I explained that in this thread. Going forward, I think we can clearly state our intentions since the process for creating the pay tables went smoothly.
Yep! Though we haven't finalized dates yet.
The pink satellites are only offered for our Major (blue) tournaments. Turbo deep is one of the most popular formats so it is offered frequently.
I deployed the May 27th Total KOs on May 20th and have confirmed they were never altered.
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. I want to be clear that I am a proponent of Phase tournaments. Some of my concerns regarding a high stakes version:
Thanks for the feedback. In general, I think we should be refreshing the main schedule more frequently than we have been lately. I'm going to work on making this a higher priority.
Just a reminder that yes guarantees are reduced in the summer, but after last summer they were increased to their highest levels of the year.
1x re-entry, yes. Just like last summer. Do you have suggestions regarding the Sunday Million?
Half-price Sunday Million in June
MicroMillions in July
PSC Barcelona
WCOOP
There will be a lot of focus on Barcelona in the near term. We will discuss 4th quarter promotions closer to the time.
We've only casually discussed WCOOP so far, but it is already clear to me that there's many different directions we can take the Series. Last year was a traditional WCOOP with a mini-WCOOP (1/100th the buy-in). What do you think WCOOP should look like?
$1.50 is correct. You knocked out two players and received $0.75 from each. Your bounty was increased by $1.50, but only $0.75 of this is added to your bounty plate because that is the amount your opponents will win if they eliminate you.
And for those who are curious, the blog post on the changes.
Well, it is definitely confusing for players now, but in the long run you'll become used to it. If you were a new player, which do you think would be easier to understand?

Am I blind or there is no Kickoff this Sunday? If I'm not blind, and there is no Kickoff, please put it back. It's great start of Sunday grind, and I don't think it's gonna have any negative effect on 109phase scoop, if you are afraid of that. Because there are many of us that are already in it, and we won't have great tourney to start best Sunday of the year.
One more time, please return Kickoff for this Sunday!!!

this was only changed back today. i looked in the client about 6 hours ago and it was 50% PKO, now its back to total KO.
was the saturday 320 ever a 50% PKO? i thought it had always just been straight up 50% KO? either way it for sure said 50% PKO earlier today so either theyre manually changing it every week or ppl keep making U-turns and they cant decide what to make it.
so weird that this overlays/close to overlays every week and they just refuse to give in to the market, really shows the dedication to pushing formats which are bad for regs

i think having monthly 109$ phase 1 mil$$$ /100k+ for first guarantied(MONTHLY MILLION) and having 55$ phase 500k/50k+ for #1 (SUNDAY HALF MILLION) as a new branded MTTs is very,very doable imo (after summer of course)
with daily phase one in 21:00-23:00 CET time slot (every other day phase one can also be bubble rush structure)with a couple of good sats/feeders for them
+ option to play other phase one for bigger stack (the biggest stack of multiple phase 2 entries will play/ option to surrender your stack and play another phase one... w/e)
+ min cash/payouts in 55$/500k weekly to start from 109$ phase one ticket + 55$ (with significant pay jumps min 1/2 phase one buy in like 109ticket+55/109ticket+75 etc => 50k+G &109 phase one ticket for first (basically every one ITM 55$/500k SUNDAY HALF MILlION will get 109 ticket + cash)
imo this concept will bring dream of binking nice score, play big MTT, with not big investment like 5-20$ back because every one can basically afford to play phases 1
for ex. some micro/low stakes player ore random rec with a dream, can play sat for 55$ phase 1 for like 2.5$/5$/11$ and then when he win ticket he will play phase one, knowing that when he will get ITM in phase 2 of this mtt he will win some cash(profits)+ he will have chance to play bigger monthly phase 1 for chance for big score
so having 55$ phase 500k/50k+ for #1 (SUNDAY HALF MILLION) 3 times in a month & and last Sunday of every month 109$ phase 1 mil$$$ /100k+ for first guarantied(MONTHLY MILLION) with daily phase 1 with good satelites/feeders , imo should be very sucesfull

- Interest would tail off over time. This would have a cascading effect in a Phase tournament where many players try to qualify for Phase 2 numerous times.
- Even in the $10K Payday, there is a huge disparity in the participation in Phase 1s. Sunday Phases account for 40+% of the total field size, while some midweek Phases only have 40 players. If the buy-in is $109, there's fewer opportunities to offer Phase 1s. This is obviously a bit different during Series where the MTT lobby is buzzing on a daily basis.

this, been sayin this for ages, look how successfull your phases were during scoop, and how good partys $22 and $5 are (albeit diff strucs/mtt altogether)
i asked before and you said that the $11 phase strugles, im a low stakes reg and even i find it hard to reg it it has less than the b22 or other 11-22s on a sunday uptop, big prizes are what the recs n regs want on a sunday, so run a 22/55/109 and it would pillage run it with no guarantee if your scuured they will do well, for the reason re8uz stated #dreambig
also a billion people asking for 3max zoom sunday mtt $33 $33k 3m 3 some lol something like that late on after sonic, like cooldown time would kill everyone loves this format, yet you keep pushing 100% KO that had overlayed every single week for 7 weeks. party is listening to the players, and so is 888 there gaining alot of business from it, please just consider some things that are asked for in this thread over and over week in week out.
another thing that everyone wants is mid-millions $5-55 series with $215 main or something, micro millions to exhausting for most to grind out, and wcoop, scoop to high, scoop L to inbwetween those two
anyway im not beating a dead horse anymore by giving good feedback and ideas in here, just wanted to get one last message out there in the hope mr luke sheds some hope/light on why were being showered so hard ITT or gives in to one or some of the requests
(hendance) gl today all

there was multiple announcemetns made walmart.
i think with luke being in the drivers seat wrt series and not bryan i think theres a good chance we will see big changes to current big series oferings such as tiered wcoop/ at least lower buyin events to attract more players as well as multiple micro millions and a MSCOOP over the summer months or something like wina has done in the way of a micro WSOP

Luke, there is a problem with your new knockout showing. Bounty Builder $3.30. Every player has a $0.75 showing at his icon. After I knocked out 2 players I received $1.50 ($0.75 from each), BUT at my icon it shows only $1.50 (probably your system calculated them by old structure). It should show $2.25 is not it? ($0.75 my bounty + $0.75 from 1 player and + $0.75 from another one = $2.25, but it shows $1.50!) I hope you will understand what I mean.
