@FeelsBadMan the number of payouts in my previous post is not for the old structure but for both structures combined. I basically looked at all tournaments, excluded the ones mentioned earlier and then I applied both the new and old sturcute to them and if the player cashed with either of these two structures, the winnings would be included. As the new structure is roughly 17 %, it's not a crazy number, considering we're looking at some of the very best players :)

That's a pretty accurate summary :) - More places paid - Top prizes almost the same - Below 5th/6th paid less

As a few highligted their concerns with the change and the effect it might have on the regs/winning players, I've looked into this aspect and can share a few numbers on it. As we don't have a lot of data with the new structure, I decided to look at the full last year and simply apply the new structure to last years tournaments. I've excluded freerolls, flips, bounty tournaments and any tournament that didn't have a pure cash payout. I looked at the players with the highest win for the full year (with a minimum no of tournaments being required) as well as some of the highest volume players (winning only) and few of you who expressed your concerns with the change. In total I looked at 27,548 tournaments from which the players managed to cash a total of 6,960 times. With the old structure, the players managed to win (pure payouts, buyin not subtracted): € 608,405 Had the new structure been in place, they'd have won: € 608,998 Yes, this might seem like I almost tried to make the numbers match up, but I can assure you it's not the case :) the difference is just 0,097 %, or € 593, and the best performing players of 2019 actually did slightly better with the new structure. If you'd like to see how your own results of 2018 would look with the new structure, just drop me a PM and I'll be happy to send you the results :)

Nice atmosphere in Malta :)

@Stubbe-Unibet is it possible to get some patch notes every time a new version is released so we can give some feedback on it? And maybe your thoughts behind the changes. I see v2.28.0 removed the color coding from streets history and previous hand which I think is not a good change. Yes, will start posting these. Have been in workshops with Relax the entire week, so didn't have much time to post anything this time. I'm not sure if the color coding is an intentional change or a mistake - I don't have anything about that in the release notes, so it's likely the latter.

@WuDu, I've got a request with Relax for a change to the way notifications are shown + an option to disable them. I don't have an estimate yet, but it's something we're aware of and I agree it has to change

@dc10FTW, I don't have time to find the survey results, but I'll have a look later this week. I know the UO team make a post event report including all the survey data, and the feedback is being looked at. I'll try to get some feedback for you :)

@hor0r, I'm not 100 % sure how this works. @Kris-Unibet or @Leo-Unibet should know (we're all in workshops the next two days, so response might be a bit slow). @FeelsBadMan, I was told yesterday that the schedule was ready and the UO team would post it after final review, so should be very soon!

True. That'd have been embarrassing - beaten by Spurs without scoring a single goal 🤣 How Dortmund will fail and end up with nothing this season is really the only positive right now. At least we still have the chance to win the cup.

Sane is in top 3 of all defenders, if you look at the stats. If that isn't great, especially considering how the team has done, I don't know what is. Unearthing these old quotes is pure gold in this topic: Manchester-City-FC-Schalke-04 I think I've never seen a defender constantly being in the wrong position, making stupid decisions, covering the wrong guy or covering air like Salif Sane! Check out the highlights and keep a close eye on the tall black dude wearing #26, you'll not be disappointed. Tedesco should have been fired on the spot after a game like this, but they'll wait until after they played Red Bull. The problem with Schalke is that not only are their fans utterly delusional, the guys at the top still think they're too big to go down. The funniest would be if S07 were able to draw against Leipzig, maybe even saving Tedesco...:laugh: Today it's Bayern-Liverpool: Bayern has to win that one, however I like Liverpool's chances. Kimmich and Müller are not playing and Liverpool only has to score a goal to give them real trouble. The top 3 quote was related to defending stats, so it's not wrong. I haven't checked the numbers recently though, and I doubt it's still the case. Do get the fun aspect of it, but out of context you can make fun of a lot of quotes ;) I stopped watching yesterday after the 3-0 goal, as I don't have any rape fantasies and it's honestly just torture. I've always liked Tedesco, and there's still part of me that thinks he should stay, but it really is time to go now. I don't even hope for points in the weekend. He's had two years and haven't come up with a proper concept yet. It'd defensive and very boring (recently not so boring as they've been so terrible). If defensive and boring can't even get you any points, and you concede at least 4 goals in every game, what's the point.

Point is, although some say different, var changes nothing. VAR changes everything. Obvious wrong calls affecting the outcome of the game are not possible anymore. The only reason there're issues today is the way some rules are written. There's too much room for interpretation today, the handball rule being a perfect example. You might not agree with every call made involving VAR, but it helps the referee to always make an informed decision. The refs are human and the rules can be interpreted, but that's got nothing to do with VAR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpazjQOGi-M @Stubbe-Unibet's opinion a few days later: They were decent in the weekend - the 1st half was the best half they've played in a while - but were a bit unlucky and VAR messed it up as well. VAR in the Bundesliga has become exactly like @GR1ZZL3R wants it; no wasted time, players can't complain and get the ref to contact the VAR, and they only intervene when there's an obvious mistake. Unfortunately, the VAR was sleeping and missed an offside on the 1st goal. How that's possible I really don't know, but let's remove the human element and have @theMachine as ref! :Laugh: dailystruggg haha, well, humans do make mistakes, and the way it's done in the Bundesliga there's more room for mistakes. I'm not saying the CL way - where literally everything is reviewed and the game stopped - is the right way to go, but at least everything is reviewed and mistakes shouldn't be possible. Everything should be reviewed in the Bundesliga as well, but the 1-1 goal can't possibly have been looked at by the VAR.

@psrquack, not official yet, but word on the street is that it'll be announced by the end of this month. Even heard rumours about it being a place with a pretty great football national team :) I hope that football team means women's soccer team and the place will be Vegas again.😀 That's not the case - and you'll get no more clues or answers regarding this ;)

@psrquack, all contracts expired and new ones had to be negotiated. If we couldn't reach an agreement, new contracts weren't signed. Can't really say any more than that :)

... You mean when you extended ALL tickets, on your own, EVERYONE's tickets, after you Ruled to cancel any Exchangers and people got left with more tickets than sats to use them... The very aggressive way you have put it down just to smear, me, says all... No, that's not what I mean :) Unless you have any actual questions, I won't reply to any further of your posts. I've got 0 interest in this turning into a thread like this, but I'm happy to try to assist you, if you actually need some help.

@FeelsBadMan, let me check with the UO team :)

Hotel information for the London stop has been added to the UO website: https://www.unibetopen.com/event/london-2019/

Sorry about that, you're right - was looking at an older one.

My one 250 eur ticket expires on Sep 4. It would give me the posssibility to on Sep 3rd register for Sunday final on September 7th (August 31st final should be for next stop too). UO Malta is scheduled for September 11th. Not to mention additional 250 tickets i could win using my other UO ticks. It could be very dangerous for Unibet, what you tried to do right there, pushing a player towards using up a 250eur ticket with your false intentionally misleading 'information'. True, if you register about a week in advance, it should be fine :) August 31st is likely not going to be for the last stop, but as I said, the dates haven't been decided yet. There's absolutely nothing "dangerous" about my reply, and you're welcome to report it to whatever authorities you want :atisfied:. Your ticket expired and as an added service we extended it (exceptionally long expiration date), which is not something you're entitled to - if we strictly followed the rules, you wouldn't have a 250e ticket now.

After -luring people into accumulating a lot of value in UO tickets then -cancelling UO exchanger tournaments You've repeated that first statement a few times now, but it still doesn't make any sense. We didn't lure people into anything, everyone was warned about the exchange tournaments being removed, tickets could be exchanged before the change took effect and tickets have been extended. You also promised, this. Now I have tickets I must use before last stop. I can't go to Malta, If last stop would be another 3* hotel in say, Bucharest, i would use them trying to qualify for London. But it is two months until London, it is middle of March and we don't know the London hotel, or even the last location as alternative, we can't know or plan anything. Again you haven't fullfilled your promises, you haven't met user unfriendly guidelines or dates which you yourselves keep imposing/ changing... The London stop was confirmed a long time ago https://www.unibetopen.com/event/london-2019/. I'm sorry if the hotel is a dealbreaker to you and that it hasn't been added to the website yet. The hotel will be London Hilton Metropole on Edgeware road - it'll be added to the website real soon. The last event is likely not going to be an option for you, as the expiration date of the ticket (can't be extended anymore) is at a time where it'll likely still be Malta qualifiers running (the exact dates for the qualifiers haven't been decided yet). As Patric has already said on multiple occations, we're sorry about the delay in communicating the last stop - we go by the deadlines we're told. Latest news is that the last stop will be published by the end of the month :)

@Livertool, bet on them tonight ;) They were decent in the weekend - the 1st half was the best half they've played in a while - but were a bit unlucky and VAR messed it up as well. VAR in the Bundesliga has become exactly like @GR1ZZL3R wants it; no wasted time, players can't complain and get the ref to contact the VAR, and they only intervene when there's an obvious mistake. Unfortunately, the VAR was sleeping and missed an offside on the 1st goal. How that's possible I really don't know, but let's remove the human element and have @theMachine as ref!

I agree with every handball penalty call made so far, and both in the Bundesliga and CL it looks like they've almost started using what's hopefully going to be the new handball rules: "It appears that the change, if put forward, would remove the word “deliberately” and define handball as to do with the hand or arm being in an unnatural position at the point of contact. Agreeing what is an unnatural position might also be tricky but one proposal is for it to be defined as if the ball strikes the arm above shoulder height. It would also be an offence if the ball hits the arm below shoulder height but in an unnatural position, which could be defined as more than eight o’clock or four o’clock from the body. Any goal scored after striking the arm of an attacking player would be disallowed". VAR is great for the sport already, and it's going to be even better. Even if you don't agree with the call made yesterday, you can't blame VAR for it. The video assistant referee did not make the call. Skomina watched the replay several times from different angles and made as informed a call as its possible. To me it's a clear handball. @WuDu, the fact that Otamendi is moving his hand towards his body at the very moment the ball hits, that doesn't (and imo shouldn't) make any difference at all. Only thing that should count is the position of the hand when there's contact.

BTW, Tedesco:

By this point I can only really laugh at the entire situation. A depressed laugh. A disappointed laugh
