Hello @Leo-Unibet, @Jeppe-Unibet, @Ray-Unibet, @David-Unibet, Unibet Players! I intended to create this thread right after Unibet Online Series as the raised topics have been naturally influanced by that and directly related to the tournament offer. First of all, as a tournament poker fan, I would like to thank for such a possibility. The series turned out to be a great success and met with a huge interest of players. It can certainly become even more prosperous in future, and @MoreTBC has done a good job with his "UOS feedback" thread, collecting Community thoughts on how it could be improved. From my part, I would like to make two suggestions on the regular tournament schedule, closely linked to my UOS observations. 1. Overall qualifiers system needs to be simplified: There are sats in the current offer dedicated to particular tournaments like Supernova, Milky Way etc. The problem with these is that they rarely run or hardly ever cover gtds. Some of the tournaments that can be considered daily majors, like Deep Impact or Abyss don't have any sats whatsover. Others like Odyssey have "one-single" sat a week, which is ridiculous, cause next to the Nova it aspires to be a Sunday Major, r/a in addition. Milky Way is a Saturday Major, but patience of players trying to qualify is definitely put to the test as it's hard to start a sat even. Others like daily Sputnik sats are always overlayed, cause the sat/target buy-in ratio is too big, and fun players rarely come back to play disappointed after a single unsuccessful try. Altogether these consequence in limiting the target fields, and then even less interest in playing qualifiers. Dead End! Thus, the qualifiers system needs to be simplified, and the positive UOS experience should be a base to that. During the series 5€=>25€ sats were running massively on afternoons with covered gtds. Together with the abililty of using the won tickets for any event of your choice it's a pattern for a perfect sat. Why not follow this and standardize all the sats now, 3x25€ for 5€, and let people play whatever they want with the tickets: Deep Impact, Abyss, Dwarf Star, Gargle Blaster, Ice Giant etc. The same for 50€s, as the 1=>5 multiplier works perfectly with "Unibet fields", why not to set 10€=>50€ sats and give players the opportunity to choose again from Milky Way, Odyssey, Sputnik. The qualifiers to 100€ events might be 25€=>100€, which would definitely help to get rid of overlays, and give all the players opportunity to qualify in steps: 0.20€=>1€=>5€=>25€=>100€, with the demand of running sats at all particular levels. I think one sat of each level could start every hour after 4PM. Apart from that there should be one main daily sat of each level with 10tx gtd, which is definitely possible to cover with 50 players field. Alternative to this would be a 5man SNG rakefree sat, with a ticket for the winner, for instance 5x5€ with one 25€ ticket. These would be quick and fun, perfectly suited for recreationals not having much time to play, and/or frustrated with another cancelled qualifier. It's easy to imagine that these would generate plenty of additional entries to the target tournaments. Overall, rakefree sats as a starting point, would help to cover the target gtds, generating more entries and encouraging even more players to play sats. The covered gtds means more daily sats => more tickets => bigger target fields and prizepools => more rake. It's a snowball effect. The most important idea is to unify the field of players willing to play all the sats and "let them run" finally. I'm absolutely confident it's possible to get the system healthy, but the only way to do this is to apply changes. 2. Demand for a daily major 50€ tournament: There were only a few 50€ events during UOS, but they were certainly successful with their good structures and attractive prizepools. It only proves that with Unibet growing fields, players' needs have become diverse, and there is a growing demand for a daily tournament with a slighly bigger buy-in. Especially if the sat system would get to work somehow it makes a lot of sense, cause many players should find their chances to fight for bigger prizes. You will say that we have Sputnik but with "all the likes" it cannot be called a daily major. First of all, it runs decidedly too late to draw attention of more players. And...with its "r/a bubble rush structure" it's in fact 150-200€ average buy-in, a bit too much to think its field is going to grow significantly with the limited sats. I like Sputnik and I try to play it as often as I can, but I think 50€ daily major should be a freezout/reentry to equalize funplayers chances and thus encourage them to play. Personally, I consider the Abyss structure perfect, and I would just copy/paiste it to set the new tournament to 7-8PM CET. It could be scheduled as a trial period twice a week to start, Tuesday and Friday for instance. Maybe if all interested players shared their thoughs on that, it would result in having a perfect tourney in the schedule? I think both suggestions are worth mentioning and consideration. Thanks for your time and reading it! Please leave your feedback, write whatever you agree or disagree on above. Make your suggestions. Especially resolving the sat issue would help a lot in my opinion. Together, you can do more than alone. Best Regards, GL! @Psycho79
