Empire has prohibited me from opening an account due to the fact that I have an active Party account and are insisting that I close my Party account to open up at Empire and I just don't want to go to the trouble.

That is true only if you wish to use the same name for the account on both sites.
Try adding something to the end of the name on Empire.

They actually blocked me due to my street address and Neteller account being the same as my Party account.

We need a G-string babe to flash/walk across the screen announcing the new level. .

This is borrowed from boxing but those that wish to take issue can kiss my fat ass.

Re: Suggestions
 

That's weird because I did manage to open both though I never got round to using my Empire account.

Finally, a sensible suggestion. I like this one.

As others have said, good structures are critical
 

I understand that the logistics of an event that lasts more than 12-14 hours are problematic, but I think ISOP Admin. should focus on pushing tourney host sites to extend the duration of the each level and the starting stack-to-blind ratios to the max.

Perhaps something in the range of:
2500 chips (roughly 5M chips in play)
Blinds starting @ 25/50, and escalating on a softer curve than the standard online game.

This is one way I think the ISOP games could be seen as unique (not just another internet tourney, as one poster put it).

Thanks for all the hard work Grannie and Co.!

hi guys,

we certainly hope to be able to offer an archived replayer, perhaps with audio commentary from any final table player who would agree to help in the production. So yes, not only will we try for something basic, we will try and do it up right.

Re: Suggestions
 

Well, the main reason I, and others that I know, do not play in party MTT's that much is the ridiculously flat payout table, and to a lesser extent the blind structure. I hope that the ISOP will be different, in that the adminstrators can dictate the payout schedule.

The payouts are WAY too flat and I don't see them changing this anytime soon. Its a shame nothing can be done about this, as it essentially ruins the entire event.

Tuco.

I agree... a large stack size and long blind levels are VERY important factors

Dates
 

I notice that the October event is scheduled for the 2nd.
This may be a selfish request but the 2nd of October is the Jewish New Year and thus will prevent many of us from participating.

Any chance of a change?

Re: Dates
 

holiday is on the 4th i think.

That's what happens when you stay up late at night (it's 2:30 a.m. here).

Misread my calendar!

It's on the Monday night - not the Sunday night.

Please excuse me while I crawl away and hide under a stone
