Default Re: WSEX: Official Monthly Thread: August. (#12 of 12.)

Party still had kind of crappy software even after they surprassed 50k players.

Others mentioned the MTT buy-in's.
Sorry to rip on WPEX because I really like them and what they are trying to do. But I think it's almost laughable that they have $5 and $10 buy-in's and then when they decide to add higher buy-in's they toss in $100, $300 and $500 MTT's that almost anyone can see is not going to draw many/any participants.

I don't follow it all too much over there but it wouldn't surprise me if almost none of those $500 tourneys ever went off.

They actually do have a $20 level but it's conveniently scheduled at 5:30am.
maybe they have them at other times throughout the week but it looks like it's just this one time per day.
Looks like they also throw in one $25 MTT per week.

It's just weird.
They have a bunch of $2, $5 and $10 buy-in MTT's.
So when people request they had some MTT's at slightly higher stakes it's like they're saying, "Okay then, here's a $100, $300 and $500. Is that high enough for you?"

I don't know if they would have that many people play $20's and $30's and $50's anyway.
But skipping that level and then adding up to $500 MTT's is just ridiculous.
