    It would be an 81 Person $10 + $1 SNg Satellite

    The top three from each table advance each time. 81 people down to 27 down to 9 down to 3 - who win millions seats, with 4th-9th getting $27.50.

    I think this would be a better option then double/triple shootouts, cause it has more to do with luck once you get to the top three. I think these might be even more popular.

    so, like a triple shootout with top 3 at each table advancing/winning. id probably do these if they had em.

    yeah, basically - i think overall, it would allow skilled players a better chance then the current triple and double shootout's allow.

    Great idea.

    If they had 15 minute levels it would not take longer than 7 or 8 hours.

    Very good idea. With 5 minute levels I can't see a table lasting any more than 30-40 minutes, if that.

    While I think it would be easier, I think it would be dominated by SnG specialists. They just wouldn't be able to pass up turning 11.00 into 215.00 so easily, and so frequently (high ROI, low variance for them in these). They'd most likely not even play in the Sunday Million, and just play these all day. I do think it's a good idea though.

    there would only be three rounds....and as far as being filled with sng specialists, the fish are still going to be in these as much as the normal double shootout, so I don't see a higher percentage of so called SNG specialists in these then normal. a sng specialist would still have an advantage over someone in a normal shootout anyways.

    Hello Pocket Fives,
    This is an intersting idea, but it's not something we can implement at present because of software restrictions with the way our shootout tournaments work. We're always improving our software though, and we'll keep this idea in mind for the future.

    As for emailing templates to Support, we appreciate player feedback but it's not necessary to mass mail us a template... We read the forums too!

    I like it. Would definitely cut down on the variance.

    When you advance to the next table, would the two other people who advanced with you be placed at the same table or would everyone be shuffled around?
