    I know you all want it gone...these ridiculous every-other-day tournaments on stars that have 10 minute levels. Stars takes the best thing an MTT can have - more chips - and totally negates the value by making the levels 10 minutes. Im tired of double rebuying in the last level and buying 15 big blinds, only to have 20 bb after the addon.

    These are the best tounaments a low-mid stakes player can play. They are entirely packed with great prize pools, tons of chips in play, and lots of bad players. For these tournaments to run with much higher variance every other day is simply costing everyone here money.

    So since Stars is revamping their tournament schedule, here is a petition to make the 3r, 5r, and 10r the same 15 minute structure every day but sunday (because lets be honest, those sunday tournament structures are the nuts). So please, cosign here if you like money :)

    phuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 15 min structures in 9k mine fields. You guys want to play 12 hrs in a 3r for 50 bucks? I'm backwards....huge prizepools, many donks, 10 min levels=gollllllllllldmines. You want good structures go play the 11 deepstack. They alternate the 10rs and it allows u to choose which days you want to play/which structure you want to play. No cosign for me. The late 10r that has 10 min levels is the absolute tits.

    Didnt they send out surveys and have discussions before setting the structure? I doubt it will change.

    this

    acceptable things:

    change every day to the sunday structures
    make the already established ones 15 minutes and give us turbo rebuys

    ANYTHING ELSE, DIAGF

    I think its fine the way it is....if u hate it so much either just play it every other day like has been discussed in this thread or just play these low-limit rebuys on Sundays when they all have the best structure ever
