Lol .Most tournaments are over within 2 hours on Seals.
No bullshit - I am not there yet, but headed in the right direction with MTT schedule? I love that seals admin~micon listen to players. I lobbied a long time to have sat 5k changed to deepstack or 3k starting chips from 1.5 and slower blind levels as did a lot of other players. It didn't happen overnight but its now the best value structured tournament imo on seals. I would like to see blind levels slowed down especially in sun 20 chip 1k although changed from 1.5 to 3 starting levels are turbo and still a bingo fest after 1st break. I think seals is headed in right direction with tournaments just a work in progress, I am ok with that . Please slow down the blind levels as most tourneys are super turbos.

The single biggest element to expanding MTTs is late registration imo. I know that it's not entirely SWC's fault, but it boggles me that there's major poker software that doesn't have a feature that has been possible on every poker site I've ever played for over a decade.
Never liked late registration. Always just viewed it as a way to get rid of overlays, and don't see how it advantages players in the least. I suppose if there's no overlay, someone who doesn't care enough to show up on time might be slightly more likely to be dead money, but that seems a marginal benefit at best. Even without an overlay, I'd rather have certainty as to what size the prize pool is, etc., right when it starts.

Agreed on all points there. The regular tournaments as they stand right now should really be labelled turbos in the future. Also agree that the Sat5K is now the best value out there. The jump in blinds from 100-200/25 to 200-400/25 just kills the game at that point. Progress is being made though, for sure. Never liked late registration. Always just viewed it as a way to get rid of overlays, and don't see how it advantages players in the least. I suppose if there's no overlay, someone who doesn't care enough to show up on time might be slightly more likely to be dead money, but that seems a marginal benefit at best. Even without an overlay, I'd rather have certainty as to what size the prize pool is, etc., right when it starts.
I can see that point, I'd still like a 10-15 minute window at least just in case you're on the way home or running late or something. The 4 hour window or whatever on WPN I've heard about is nuts though.

Hey guys! I was told to post to this forum because me and my roommates were IP banned last week for "multi-accounting" the DD freeroll. This is absurd, I simply got them into playing on your site. I've been playing for over a year and have been extremely helpful getting new players to join and helping them navigate the software. I understand you have to keep the Joey/Anita types from multi-accounting, but simply putting up a note that somebody from your IP is already playing (just like cash games) is clearly the play. My IP is 50.137.22.56 and my username is Citizen71348. My roomates are jeremy2046 and detanore (I think, it's some variation on his last name, you'll find the correct name in my references, which I can't see because I can't get into the site.)
Thanks for your help.
As far as the MTT schedule goes, it looks like it's really making progress, but as somebody said, the jump from 100/200 to 200/400 basically turns the game into flipaments. The tournaments with the 150/300 level are much better.
I don't like late registration, either, but I could see a 10-15 minute window making sense. Other sites keep it open for like an hour, which is terrible.
Also, more tournaments need breaks.

That's the Big BTC. It costs 500 to enter (.5 BTC, about $350-400 ish?) and typically it has just over 40 people.

I asked this when I first joined and didn't get a response. A friend signed up under me but I don't think I receive anything from it. Decent games, generally good customer support and excellent cash in cash out times. I played on FTP for a long time (hundreds of thousands of FTP pts), played a bit on Cake/Jucy Poker before cashing out become nearly impossible, and found this site a few weeks ago. Really like it.

Thing is, everyone can create a new account in seconds even without an e-mail address. So there isn't really anything free for new players (unless you get really lucky and an affiliate trusts you to give u some chips to start with.)

There are still two free things available to new players. The big one is the DonkDown freeroll on Wednesdays at 10:30 PM EST. Another is there are these 66 player sit-and-go-freerolls that go off from time to time and can be found under the SNG tab. There's also a "free" subtab under the SNG tab that will have it, usually by itself, if it's around. The 66-er generally only goes off at times of low traffic, so you have to snipe for it a bit.

Yeh, I meant free specifically for new players. Anyone can join these freerolls.

I actually love this feature. You know, when the tourney starts, if its an overlay, how many people in it, exact payouts, etc. I wish more sites would have this. To echo others, it's extremely frustrating to sit down for a session and see one tournament that I'm actually interested in playing...but I missed registration by one minute. It also ends up keeping prize pools down and keeps them from upping the guarantees. Also, I'd be fine with the suggested 10-15min registration, though I'm not opposed to an hour. I also agree with the sentiment that WPN's 4 hour window is crazy/terrible.
