    last night after day 1 of the 1k wcoop i emailed stars to make sure that the time bank would be refreshed for day 2 as i assumed it logically would be. last year deep in one of the wcoops i had no timebank and it was awful having to make the most important decisions with no time. I figured with a 2 day event they would have to refresh it for day 2. stars replied: I have consulted this matter with the person from our WCOOP Team and have been informed that unfortunately, the timebank will not be refreshed for day 2 event. I am very sorry for any inconveniences. this is outrageous and absurd, i have no time to make the most important decisions of the tournament stars normally has the best software and support but this is retarded... they really need to fix this and get on the ball here, i dont think im the only one with this complaint. they could refresh even just 2 minutes for day 2 or do what full tilt does where it regenerates over time. come on stars... seriously i think most people deep in a big tournament have experienced how atrocious of a software leak this is...

    playing plo with no timebank is brutal

    what's even worse is they don't have a countdown, so you don't know exactly when you're about to time out.

    I emailed them once in the middle of a tournament becuase for some reason or another, I got disconnected and my entire bank went to O so I had nothing left for the bubble/final table. They said the do not even have the capabilities to reset the time bank.

    For your situation, however, don't they basically create a new tournament lobby for day 2? If so, one would think they would have the capabilites to reset, and should definitely do so, especially for this big of a tournament.

    stars, you need to get your heads straight on this one

    they should establish an estimated time frame that would be reasonable to use up the entire timebank within, and then refresh it that often. something like resetting it to one minute every 4 hours.

    even one day events should be refreshed somehow not only because of how long many of the big mtts take but for the fact that every decision becomes that much more important with the added money on the line from getting deep. not having extra time in the 1k is brutal but i'd even like a refresh in the 3r. 30 seconds over 8-9 hours isnt reasonable.
    most importantly though TIDTID for umd. big shit poppin, good luck bro.

    not normally - the only reason it happened last week was because hands started being dealt again after play was supposed to have ended for the day, like 10 minutes later. was pretty comical.
