Default Re: Stars VIP FREEROLL changes = major letdown thread

Sintax - this was discussed extensively in other threads, including Scotty answering why it was done that way. In summary it's better than it looks from the first glance.

No.
It is not any better at all if you are unavailable to play on Saturdays.
For some time-zones it's really inconvenient.


It's less of a time-commitment each Saturday. But it's still a commitment.
It might be slightly better value but that remains to be seen.


I'm fortunate in that Saturdays work for me.
But I really thought the V$ idea that could be used for tourneys at different times/days was an idea worth exploring.

Worth noting that Stars said they might change it after 3 months if it isn't working so hot.

My hunch is that there might be so many entrants in the tourneys that people around here complain that it still isn't really that great.
'Barely even worth playing' will be a popular opinion.

And others will chime-in and say they can't play them anyway and feel like they're missing VIP-value.


These aren't necessarily my views although I suspect I won't disagree.
There will be fewer complaints about them. More people will like this structure certainly.

But there will be many who will still think it's not so great.
