I used to play at least 15 tourneys on UB a week before Annie duke took over and now I have probably only played 3 in the last few weeks. I think her schedule is HORRIBLE all of my favorite tourneys are gone. the $4.40 4k, $6.50 bounty tourney, and alot of the smaller tourneys. Now all i see is these stupid sniper tourney sattys, I mean the site is litterd with them, Annie give it up.

I feel your pain, but as far as ppl ive talked to, about 98 % of them love the new UB sched. compared to what they had prior to Annie getting involved...Hopefully u cna find some new tournaments to play but to say the new sched. is 'horrible' i just dont think ur gonna get to many ppl to agree with u on this one...

the new UB schedule is pretty good, but they need to put a fuckin guarantee on teh 109 sniper on the weekends thats just rediculous that there isnt one!
-
Yeah i know, that annoys me too... i came home after a night out in town only to find that there was no guarantee on that tourney ;( I ended up playing the 30r and going on tilt after my internet cut out during a hand where i hit the nut straight on the flop and was blatantly about to double up..

The new schedule just took so much away to add so little. I don't consistantly play $100+ tournies, and there is pretty much nothing other than the 7pm and 8pm tournaments. Plus getting rid of all NLHE rebuys was upsetting. They are listening, which is why they added alot more Omaha tournies - but I am sorry Omaha just isn't as popular as holdem, so why fix that first. But I did finally get me to withdraw my money from the site and move to FTP, and so far it's working out just fine.

I hate the new tounament schedule... i do love the guarentee's but where are the 10+1 and the 5.50's before 11pm ??.. hate all the sateys. i was playing about 15 tournaments a week and now maybe play 4 or 5. the upside is that i moved to the cash games on UB and have been enjoying that.. I do love UB just wish there where more options other then 750 people fields.. maybe they shoud add a 200 max field without a guarentee 10+1..

Have you tried using the regular tab? It weeds out the sat tourneys and the sniper tourneys are bountys ( they just changed the name)
3pm $6.60 5k guarantee sniper
4pm $11.00
4:40 $3.30 6 seat
5pm $16.50 Turbo
6pm $5.50 turbo 6 seater
6:20 $ 11.00 turbo
7pm $5 rebuy 10K guarantee ( was 5k last week)
8pm $11.00 sniper 10k guarantee (22.00 20k guarantee on Wed)
9pm $1.10 rebuy 5k guarantee
9:20pm $27.50 7.5k guarantee
11pm $5.50 5k guarantee
not to mention she added deep stack tourneys in between and a new $50 rebuy 25k guarnatee at 10pm
I just dont see how with the guarantees and deep stacks she added your finding it hard to find something to play -

Micro schedule actually looks half decent. If the site wasnt a big bag of clownshoes I might consider putting some money back on there and playing a few tourneys a night.(F the turbos though)

I work during the day, so of the tournies you listed I would only play between 2-4 of them, because turbos suck.... and there are no multitable sngs to play when there are no tournaments comming up. Altought I do wish I would have left some money on to play 7pm since the made it a rebuy. But once again that isn't really adding anything alot of players don't like rebuys and now you take away the $5 freezeout that they liked. But i Love UB rebuys so I like the change.

I didn't take away the freezeout. I switched the 7 pm and 11pm tourneys because everyone wanted the rebuy to not be a turbo and I heard you on that. Beut at 11 pm on week nights it is impossibl for it to be over in time to make that reasonable. So I switched them and put the rebuy at 7pm and the freeze out at 11pm so they could both be non turbos.
That being said, I am hearing you on the smaller buy-in bounty tourneys. There are a bunch scattered througoout the schedule just not in the 7 pm to midnight time period. What I am hearing is that you would like some more small buy-in bounties in that time period because I could definitely add a couple later in the evening or very early in the evening. What buy-ins? $1, $3, $4?
Let me know!

Please stick a 1500 Guarantee on the 1:20A bounty. There won't be an overlay and it would increase the field size. Win Win IMO -

Annie things are getting better, but we still need a regular non sniper guaranteed tourney during the day with a $10-20 buy in. Glad to see you added some 3-5 seat guaranteed turbos for the 200k, we could use more (especially by the looks of the overlay) and the 15 seat guarantees on the weekends. It is getting better though. Keep tweaking it. Thank you.

No need to be a dick about it, she is trying to help. Constructive criticism. By the way, even if that schedule gets as good as Stars, it will be a while before I go back.

If not, please do this immed. -

REGULAR $10 BUY IN AT 9:30 am TY

$5 to $25 tournaments Annie. The old schedule used to have lots to choose from all hours of the night. You did add a couple of $10 tournaments which is good. A few more later in the evening would be good as well and throwing a little, or big, guranteed would be even better. Thanks for all your effort and taking the time to listen to us.

What time during the day on the $10 or $20 sniper? As for the multi seat guarantees, as everyone knows UB used to run those every half hour and everyone would just make agreements to not rebuy. I took them all away because of that and have been adding them back in as I see them working and players responding to them. Even on the weekend, though, the 5 seat guarantees have only been generating about 7 seats. As soon as I see they will work I will start adding 10 seat guarantees.
You can see that every few days more of these have been adding because the new ones have been great. The more players respond the more I will put in and the more seats that will be guaranteed. Win/win for all of us :-)

No, I haven't. But what if the 30+3 7500K wasn't just a freezeout but a double stack. I would consider that. How would players feel about that?

Change back plz immed.
EDIT: Wow I really don't like this change at all. I understand that the guarantee was probably not being met but that was one of the reasons this tourney was so great. Also, having it $30 instead of $50 probably attracted more players since it's closer a compromise between medium-high stakes. Pleeeeeease change it back to $30.
Also, I absolutely loved that $5 rebuy turbo at 11. The turbo rebuy category is one that almost no site has regularly, and even though this was only $5 it was something UB had that others don't. Maybe you could make the early one non-turbo (like you changed it to now) and change the later one to a turbo (which is now a freezeout)?
But seriously, change the 50r to a 30r. Seriously.

yes, that should def be a double stack, and that would help.
In reality the path stars went down of making all guarantes into double stacks, and all double stacks into gurantees is the only way to go, particularly with a smaller site.
I played that $33 double stack one day and it had 50 people, such a waste of time.
Also, why on earth would the guarantees not carry over into the weekends for all tourneys?? If you can meet or get close to meeting these guarantees during the week then you will easily meet them on the weekend, just makes sense. -

Best thing ever were the free seat giveaways for the final table of all the guarantee tourneys saturdays to the sunday 200k.

Any tourney 50 dollars or over you should give a double stack or at least 2500 in chips.
