    They are visible now mate. Good job you asked, they were there but set to "hidden".

    Plenty of them now though, so all'd good.

    GL if you dabble.

    Excellent, thanks for your help. :)

    Quick reminder that the new "Big Weekend Bounty Hunter" starts tonight at 7.30pm. It will run every Friday & Saturday until further notice assuming it performs. £10,000 guarantee, £110 entry. One rebuy is available during the first 10 levels if needed.

    Maybe worth mentioning whilst I'm here that from tonight, the Avenger Rebuy Main has increased from £10,000 to £15,000, & it's baby brother, the Avenger Mini, is now £5,000.

    Saturday's Sharpshooter Main has also gone up to £15,000, & it's Mini bro £4,000.

    Whilst the lunchtime tournaments have been upped to £300 from £100 I don't think that they work quite as well.

    The timescale should be changed to say 45mins from 30mins so that we get a more decisive result.

    After 30mins there are still lots of people left in to share the spoils.

    Makes it less attractive to me anyway.

    I made a similar comment about the £300 guaranteed £5 buy in, timed tourney, some time ago.
    I think this is the same, but worse.
    In both cases there are too many runners left at the death.

    Would capping the runners and having more of them not work better?

    Hi @Tikay10 would it be possible to have some direct satellites into these please?
    Not always able to play the normal satellites but would definitely play direct sats.

    @tai-gar

    There is a regular £24 Semi, with feeders into it, there are All-In Sats, Frenzy's etc.

    Is that what you mean?

    Well it won't be possible to make further changes to today's schedule, but I'll pass it up to James so he can consider it going forward.

    Ok thanks. It was more of a suggestion for future.

    I think that as tai-gar suggested, if they ran for 45 mins not 30, the extra 15 mins, with blinds increasing would be far better.
    Ideally, you would like the biggest prize pools possible.
    Before the lockdown you used to at least get down to a ft, sometimes only a couple left.
    Since the lockdown you rarely get down to the ft.

    Wouldn't it make sense to run the sats on both days, exactly the same as Sunday.

    @HAYSIE

    Yes, it would, & if they do add Directs, that's what they'll do I imagine.

    Sounds like a plan.

    There are plenty of people sitting around with nothing to do at 10 in the morning.

    They also have 3 semis.

    I just checked back on todays 3.
    They all got around 50 runners.
    There were 14, 14, and 12, left at the end.

    Since the lockdown started every day is like a Sunday.
