    I'll start.

    - Please change the big Sunday NLHE events to be 2-day events. In the most recent FTOPS, that would be Events #10 and the Main Event.

    - Bring back the Avatar Races.

    - In general, reset timebanks at the final table.

    A lot of people have jobs and that would kill field sizes and deter most of the fishiest players from the big games. Hell I couldn't even play the ME because it starts to late... tonsss of people wouldn't touch it if it ran into a second day. Huge congrats btw man, pretty sure you've had a "good" tag in my book for a while.

    Thanks! and I agree. I'm one of those folks that have a job. Maybe I should clarify my statement. 2-day and start on Saturday. Or start way earlier like 12-2pm (EST).

    5k stack for the turbo. 1500 starter is a joke.

    meh i was gonna say they should start the 21:00 events at 19:00 but i think the fields would be smaller. cuz the average east coast joe gets off work at 17:00 goes home eats or w.e then hops in a satty to the night time event at like 19:15 or 18:45.

    biggest concern is the 2k starting stack in turbo, and the 100 and 300 rebuys should have 2000-4000 starting stacks and a 2500 chip add on rather then 1500-3000 and 1500 addon like your normal 5rs have

    It's a turbo. It's supposed to end quickly. Make it 2k with a 10-20 level and that should be plenty to still finish the tournament so people on the East Coast can play a weeknight FTOPS and still go to work the next day...

    Mondays and Thursdays - start times of 12 noon and 6 PM EST
    Tuesdays and Fridays - start times of 2 PM and 8 PM EST
    Wednesday - start times of 4 PM and 10 PM EST

    vary the starting times on different days

    Omaha events are more popular in Europe - so have those be your early events M/Th.

    East and West coast players still get a decent schedule and the casual players (the 9-5'ers) might actually get into a 5-6 PM (local time) event.

    And the FT players - this schedule still allows for some sleep since only one day has "later" events.

    Saturday and Sunday - still run a 3-game schedule like you have been doing.

    Make cubed events starting stack and rebuys at least 2k chips.

    Reloading timebank FOR ALL TOURNAMENTS...this is freakin ridiculous when huge money is on the line it puts certain players at a disadvantage to have less time to make a decision than other players.

    I thought the ftops turbo was 2k starting stacks?
