Big reason I like playing on seals was that didn't have late registration. Late registration benefits no one except a site meeting guarantees .  I can see maybe a 30 minute late reg for specific tourneys like bigbtc and Saturday 4.2 guarantee,  but sites that have 1 and 2 hour late reg  for every guarantee doesn't do anything from the players perspective except ruin the tourneys.

I can understand what you're saying when it applies to big sites that have hours of late registration on tournaments with 100's of players.

But that wouldn't be a problem here.  Even if they wanted to Seals couldn't do 2 hour late registration.  Most tournaments are finished in 2 hours, and if they weren't you'd be buying in for a stack of one big blind.

The benefit that late registration will have for players is that it will make the tournaments bigger.  Most only get between 10-25 players right now. 

Eventually I hope that more of the regular daily games can grow to the size of the Saturday and Sunday guarantees - somewhere in the 50-100 player range.  And I think late registration will help make that happen.

late reg will just make tourneys re-entries for the multi accounters

I brought this up a while back.  There cant be both late entry and anonymous multi accounts allowed.  It's impossible to have late entry not be virtual rebuys for multiple accounts.

so this is a legitimate concern.

As a frequent MTT player, I'd like to see the biggest prizepools possible.

As a site pro, I don't want to see anyone just miss the start of the BIG BTC.

I think the sweetspot for late reg is ~5-15 minutes.  I want to catch the guy that just missed it, but I don't want the guy that just busted re-registering.  Very few players will bust in the first 15 minutes, and those that do should be easy to catch a re-entry under a little-used account.

Certainly things to think about, but IMO late registration will be +EV for the players, as it encourages action.

you do keep that .0009, and the next time you deposit add an extra .0001 and that .0009 will become 1 chip.

Late entry for rebuys is a no brainer.  That will work.  For what that's worth.

Without blocking IPs and disallowing tor (not even possible?) I don't see a solution for regular tourneys.  In that case if you want late entry you just have to deal with the reality it's a rebuy for shadow accounts.

Looks like you got shorted 450 chips.

1)  bust-out IP block is a easy way to cut down.  Many players use VPN though.

2)  I would imagine a savvy degenerate (that busts in the first 1 or 2 levels) may find their way back in.  This may be something we must accept (from a player perspective I think its a great thing if a guy that just fired off the stack in level 1 re-enters) if we want to provide the utility to players that just missed the starting time and want action.  I think that utility far outweighs the unfairness of someone possibly re-entering.

Late registration will make possible for Seals offer higher gtd., that's a good thing. It is very difficult to create larger MTT with 5% rake.
Mistakes are costly (Saturday 4.2K gtd had more than 1 K overlay last week) and take long time to recover.

Hahahha, highly doubtful.

[DontCallMeShirley]

I don't known that having some fish, who busts in the first or second level, relog, rebuy and add to the prizepool is necessarily a bad thing. Just don't make the late reg retarded long.

like pokerstars in majors with 180-min latereg  

I think ~15 minutes would be optimal (and I think micon had similar intentions because this allows the people who turn on their computer a few minutes
too late for a tourney still to enter).
And the percentage of people who bust in the first blind level (or maybe the second) should be really negliglibe.

[nioc]

Then why not make the start time 15 minutes later?

Why not add re-entry for 15 minutes as well?

[FUR11]

Are you people seriously concerned about "multi accounters" who only play on one name at a time?  You are afraid to play against people who are too stupid to cheat correctly?
