    So this past sunday due to daylight savings in the western side of the world, stars kept the 100r reg open for 90 mins as well as the rebuy period of course. They have done this a couple times in the past before for daylight savings as well and im a big fan of it for several reasons:
    1st place was just shy of 100k this past sunday whereas you usually get a 1st place prize between 72-83k ish, so the prize pool is significantly bigger.
    With the improved structure of the 100r (big fan of that) there's been a little less gamble in the rebuy period but adding these last 30 mins definitely brings back some of that rebuy period gamble we all love.
    I'm pushing for this 90 min rebuy period ONLY for the sunday 2pm 100r as its kinda the weekly major of 100rs and see more pros then cons to the change.
    With enough favor for this, I think stars could make the change, so lets hear your thoughts.

    i like bigger prizepools, but i like the rebuy period how it was tbh... But guess I would get used to it, I dont mind either way as long as this ridiculousy good structure stays the same:)

    i like the 90 minute period as well. i think more importantly than doing it in the sunday 109r stars should have a 90 min or 2 hr period in all the big SCOOP rebuys (500r, 1kr). if we are going to be playing a 15 hour tournament, then the rebuy period should be longer than one hour. make it a proper rebuy

    Agree with this as well Darren, the structures in the SCOOP rebuys will be even slower and I doubt too many guys will be gambling it up in a 1k and 500R so yea I do think the rebuy period should be longer as it just doesnt make sense to end the rebuy period at the 30/60 level or something like that, doesnt seem like a proper rebuy if so.
    However I do think it might be unfortunately too late to implement the change for SCOOP, I liked how last year a stars rep posted on both forums for player feedback after releasing a pendng scoop schedule and then made a lot of great changes before the final one was released, what happened this year stars!

    Still hoping we can get more love for the 90 min rebuy period for the early sunday 100r tho!
