Grand Tournament Good/Bad Comments

Ok then. Steep as in as favouring final table players but flat as in evening out the gaps between top ten.
This is a definition I've heard before and agree with fully. If more people would comment on this we will most definitely try and incorporate it into our larger buy-in events.

Flat(ter) on FT is good, but I also like it somewhat flatter throughout ITM, IF and only IF, ITM starts with a good payout. For example, 4x entry fee.

Or if you want to pay back just a little over the entry fee for a few people, then have the payouts escalate rapidly after that. I do not like flat when it means a large portion of the field makes the money but only the FT makes anything meaningful.

1. Flatter Final Table.
2. Finishing (almost) anywhere In The Money has some real value.
3. Fewer people finish ITM as a consequence of #2.
