Hey @Leo-Unibet/ @Jeppe-Unibet/ @Ray-Unibet! I played UO Wednesday Final yesterday and a ridiculous situation occurred on the bubble again. There were 6 players remaining with one package gtd on top, 3x250€ and leftover 175€ for the 5th. There was one shorstack on the table with 1000chips/3-4BBs only, and one bigstack taking advantage of such dynamics. As a middle stack you have to fold practically everything to that agression, let your stack melt securing yourself a partial return of the costs at least before you go further in the tournament. That's how 90% of bubbles look like, and it's nothing wrong with this. What happened was that in the same moment the shortstack got busted, another player registered immidiately a second before the late registration closed. There were 6 players remaining again, but... 6 places paid now with a 150€ return for the 6th. What basically happened, this player just bought in to a 250€ tournament for 100€ only, getting 3000 chipstack for that, and chances sufficient enough to play for a package. Freerolling. It really doesn't matter who it was, I don't blame the player, it's a serious issue with the software needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Was it fair to the players who had bought in for 250€ and had to play for over 2hours, risking their chips repeatedly? Busting on badbeats and coolers, KK>AA, AK>AQ etc... giving themselves their best shots to fight for the package? Understanding and respecting ICM, adjusting their plays to the bubble when they finally got there? I don't think so. @Leo-Unibet, I hope it will be fixed quickly, as ignoring these situations are frivolous and disrespecting the players. I understand that some technical considerations stand behind it, as many sats would just end up as they started. But I think the community players will readily share their thoughts and ideas on how the problem could be resolved, moreover this is not the first time the issue has been raised. My suggestion is that the late registration should close automatically meeting a couple of conditions simultaneously: approaching bubble + avarage stack below some certain point, for instance 10BBs + at least one stack significantly below the starting amount... I would really appreciate taking this seriously as it's an issue occuring very often in all kinds of qualifiers. Thanks for reading it Best regards!

Thanks @Psycho79 for reporting about the situation. You are 100% right this is not how a package qualifier or any qualifier at all should be played out. Thd reason for this happening is obviously the very long late registration time, I have not seen this happening on this particular qualifier before so I appreciat that you reported this so the qualifier will be configurated with shorten late reg. I'm glad that you managed to avoid the trap of bubbeling the tournament and binged a ticket . Regarding the level up time of 12 minutes, I'm fine with that, due to the relativly few players in the tournament and a rather "big" first prize I don't see anything wrong with the average length of this qualifier being 2:10h. After all, is's a package up for grabs. Thanks guys for watching my back!
