on a small note, i think that all registration times should go back to 24h ahead.

if there are lots of dead stacks in the freerolls, so be it. they will get blinded out pretty quick anyway with the games being turbo, and they are not denying anyone else a spot because there is no cap on places

increasing the lobby visibility of the buyin games is only a good thing too

Seems good.

2.) Should the feature and Main event start earlier or is that a good time?
YES

3.) Should I look to continue with the $1 or $2 buy in games or should I be looking at around the $5?
YES - I'd imagine a large amount of people would like smaller buy-in games to learn/practice before bigger games.

Satellites to the MQF always garuntee 1 seat. Why do you think the same people play it over and over after getting a seat - there is always an overlay.

Love the structure, and format of the games.

However yah I am too concerned that the major games that the peeps chasing points will be in, are games that run well after 1-2am in SA. Whilst I like to sleep at work, my bosses don't....

If these games could be structured in such a way that they finish about midnight SA 12.30Vic it would be great either by starting earlier or changing the blind levels accordingly.

Overall looking forward to season 3..

Seat for 1st, cash prizes split.

i am happy to be corrected, but as far as i know, the $5 mqf that is running at 9pm or whatever it is, is NOT a guaranteed seat

i have played in it, and won, but haven't been awarded a ticket.

it may have changed recently though, the last few times i have played in it it has made more than 10 players so im not sure

nope.

prolly a few months ago now, but i won one of these tourneys with 8 players in it, and i got $40 for first, no ticket.

as i say, may have changed now

it is my opinion that people have had long enough to learn the games.

secondly, there is still a 50c rebuy and a $1 rebuy in the schedule

Plus there are $1/$2 games in the regular 888 games, if they want to "practice"

both of us have quote fail bacon

i agree, plenty of really cheap games on 888. they have $75 freerolls, 10c games and $100 gtd $1 games, which are all good value.

Thats a good point - there are a lot of non-888PL games available to cater for lower-budget users. The ones I had in mind were the NSW/QLD people who are new.

benny the cunt, it probably did change because I vaguely remember it being like an SnG too, but this must have been in Season 1. Right now a seat is definitely guaranteed.
