Nostri and I have been approached about running a new forum comp with MTT seats up for grabs. We would like your thoughts on the 2 possible options before we go into more detail. Which of the following prize/comp formats appeal the most to you?

New forum comp. 30 votes

    Surely the £110 option is a higher reward for your buck?

    We will obviously go with the majority vote and then post the full details, it's worth noting that this will be a comp that even players with a limited bankroll can play as it will include a number of micro MTTs.

    *Edit, whatever they are worth, I love the idea of a race to the final week winner.


    Great idea and questions .

    How much are the mini majors £11 and the mini majors £5.50 ?

    The prizes are of equal total value FWIW.

    The Sunday Major ticket would certainly give you the highest ROI if you got a good run on. But the other option gives you more chances at winning a main event entry and more chances at a decent score in one of the other Mains, so is probably lower variance.

    We honestly couldn't decide which people would prefer, so here we are.

    My bad, did not read that properly, Might change my vote, weekly events would allow people to tag in and out more.

    If there was a way to incorporate or add a £110 entry into the second option then that would be perfect. E.g. The person who had the highest weekly score of any of the 4 weeks, get's it or something. Maybe that's too much too ask, but entries to £33's personally are not as interesting to me as a £110. Obviously, different people will be happy with that, but that's my honest view. Can see why you had a quandary trying to decide!

    In all fairness, this competition is designed to appeal more to low stakes players who might appreciate winning a shot at a larger tournament than people like yourself who already regularly play bigger buy-ins. All are welcome to participate of course but those are the people we have in mind with this.

    What tournaments would contribute towards the league? Is there a list of these?

    Also with the above quote, that is fair enough. I did enjoy the mini UKOPS, so would be keen on something competitive like this, as that really livened up the forum too.

    I would prefer weekly, as someone who saves up tokens to get £33 buy ins, another means to do be able to achieve that would be something I would definitely be interested in.

    It also means you don't have to "grind" for a whole month and can focus on (what would be extra volume for me) over a shorter period.

    Weekly for me, I like the idea of a number of different people getting entries into a main event in a given month, and giving us more 'competition sweats'

    PS I think the word "Just" at the beginning of Option 2 could create a bit of question bias, it implies the option B is inferior.

    Speak to my copywriter @waller02 about that.

    Though based on the results it has had the opposite effect.

    Option b for me. Just from a selfish perspective I feel I have a better chance of grabbing one of these.

    I did vote for a) afterall....however, it was a question bias fail :)

    I quite like option B though fwiw. It would be great if somebody who doesnt normally get chance to play a main win the seat and go really deep in it.
