    Yes im biased no denying that - would love to try to sat in but im honest would love a better chance odds wise to help myself - a 700 package offers one seat for approximately every 24 in tourny, while a 2100 satellite makes it 1 for 8 - much better odds for a satellite. Given the fact that step 6 is 2100 for seat doesnt make sense that the major mtt is not the same buyin - im not saying get rid of the other sats but most of those offer one seat per 100 something runners - i get it big live tourny and should be hard but still how about this change - obviously step 6 tix could be used - as for the satties into 700 buyin - no reason to change it - in fact ive advocated for this before and was hoping to get support again - 27 to 82 to 215 to 700 to 2100 mtt satties - its been done before can do it again - obviously stars could run smaller satties into all of these as well - this equals more rake for the site seems lie a win win - so flame away but please cosign

    You know what kind of satellites they'd have to run to get ppl into a 2100 buy in? it'd have to be like 50r+ or 100+ buy in FO...they'd never even get ppl in the 700 sattys when they already only get like 140 ppl. They pay out 7 spots or so...seems like plenty.

    you are assuming people are buying stright in to the 700 or would do a satty stright into the 2100 - id bet most dont would work their way through a mtt step format- if you offer step 6 as an option and have mtt steps that either use tickets or t$ working your way through bet there would be a decent amount of people - stars ran this for the first scoop series and it went relatviely well. i think the 700 was on sat and the 2100 was on sunday with the other rounds running nightly

    No offense but none of the mtt grinders are going to grind steps...you can't cash them out, you get no value out of them. They'd rather just play regular satellites that go straight into other larger buy ins, or take the T$...no one wants to buy into 80 buck step 3s and grind up 3 steps...plus, they are full of regs mostly at the top. It's just not gonna work with 3/4 the community.

    it doesnt matter whether they grind steps or not, a 2100 mtt sattie would give people a better chnace to qualify, so i would have to support this idea, at least run them instead of some the rebuys...

    I'd like to see some higher buyin sats to PCA as well. Never played it but I'm def considering it this yr.
