Partypoker: since when did they change levels to 15 mins in the 200k?

[ansky451]

It's still 1500 chips, but now 15 minute levels, not 20. What the [censored]. Pokerstars, has freakin exploded with new stuff, better structures etc, and now party is taking a step backwards. Does this mean the supers are 15 minute levels too? cause then they are just standard tournaments. And what about the 500k tommorow? Anyone have any info on all of this crap?

The 200k was this way last week too /images/graemlins/frown.gif I was very disappointed, as I'd prefer 1000 chips with 20 min levels if I had to choose between one or the other (although 1500 with 20 min levels is more ideal). I haven't gotten to play in a Sunday Party tourney since they put in the new software (this is a bad time a year for Sunday tournies for me), so I'll find out tomorrow I suppose.

I'm fairly certain that the $750k on Party last time had only 1000 chips! Not sure about the levels, I didn't play in it, but read about it. There was no 500k last sunday because of the PPM qualifiers, so not sure if that is 1000 chips. If it is, get ready for a crapshoot.

Does this mean that the supers have just 15 minute levels too? [censored] hell, partypoker is a joke.

That's the weird part. The weekday supers (and the Friday Special) all start with 1000 and 20 min levels still. The Sat 200k has 15 min levels for no apparent reason though.

There is nothing weird about it, it is just party being party

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

The levels were changed in every 15 minutes in '$200K Guaranteed Saturday (505467)'. This was
changed based on our management decision as we received a lot of feed back from players'.

So are you partypoker support? Or is that an email they sent you?

If you're party support I think this forum has a few bones to pick with you.

[SeriousStudent]

Has PP support ever posted in one of these forums?

I asked them 1) why they changed it , and 2) why didn't PP notify the registered players that the tournament structure had changed, as I could not find anywhere on the site the length of the levels documented for this tournament. On Stars you can easily find the complete structure of any tournament.

They did not answer the second question in their email response, and the reply to the first question makes no sense as who would ask for shorter levels?
