Default Re: An open letter to PokerStars on tourney scheduling

I don't understand why they all have to be at the same time all the time.

Sunday is the day when I am LEAST likely to be able to play in any of these.

Why can't they mix it up just a little bit so that those with conflicts for any reason at a given specific time (Saturday at 4 or Sunday at 7 or whatever) can still find one that works for them.


I just posted on a similar topic on my blog.
Party is running nightly satellites for their Aussie Millions tourney at 11p eastern.
It's $270 and is 1 entry per 53 entrants.
Tonight they got exactly 53 players.
Frequently they get somewhere between 30-50 so it just works as a $270 multi-table cash-game tourney.

I just don't understand the point.
At 11p eastern you can't really get any Europeans to play (I think it's 5a or 6a in much of western Europe) and I think it's 11a or so in australia so it's not ideal for them either.
11p is just such a weird time to be running their nightly satellites (although maybe they REALLY want the California crowd to play in these).
one would think that SOMEBODY over there would realize that they could get more players in these if they were running them at a different time.
