It is confusing for me that you Introducing new tournaments and don't address the obvious problem first .I did ask for 20 chip deep MTT at 2 pm EST for reason.It is time when European players want to play and you took down month ago 2 MTT what was there 25 chipper at 1:30 EST and 20 chipper at 1:40 ET and replace it with nothing. It was wrong to have 2 similar stake MTT in that space and it is wrong to have non there as well. If you don't have the time required to manage the MTT schedule,let us help you.
1) I see the huge, gaping hole in the schedule exactly as you describe 2) allow me to address this issue right now: I have submitted to ST6 an "Add MTT Order" (AMO) for the following --> 20 Chip Deep 300 GTD at 2pm EST / 11am PST 3) I have also submitted for addition the first of a few "HHN makeup" MTTs: 20 Chip 200 GTD 8:30pm EST / 5:30pm PST 12 days later 0. You should run for public office. Its just a shame that the great tournaments like the sunday 1k are 8 minute levels which is a super turbo especially with the blind structure. I understand putting together a tournament schedule takes time but the sunday 1k is what is wrong with the tournaments. I just didn't bother playing after the sporadic times I played because it is just a bingo shove fest with 25 players left or so. Making it a 3k is much appreciated but with the blinds the way they are and 8 minute levels there just is no point in playing it unless I want to shoveathon because of the blinds late. Again I understand the taking of time to implement a good schedule but there is nothing stopping anyone from changing the structure of the 1k for instance and I have been at the tables when other players complained. 8 minute blinds with along with rapid blinds increases is just a bad combo .

@skivrmt - Yes, the bugs I mentioned are specific to Android, except the annoying sit out button that messes with everyone equally.
@micon - The affiliate program, in all its glory, in this case is not sufficient to pick up the slack.
An in-house email marketing program would benefit everyone, including your affiliates, with a minimum investment of time and resources. I'm talking about deploying a re-engagement campaign to your existing database of users that have already submitted an email address. Also, the Seals web site should offer an email newsletter sign-up feature to collect addresses of those that are interested in receiving occasional updates.
There are many poker players that are not on Twitter, but nearly everyone that wants to play online poker has an email address. Affiliates can drive traffic, but email marketing can keep them coming back.
I'd be happy to volunteer my time to help you get this set up. Like you, I want to see Seals continue to grow. Email is the most effective and cost efficient way to do it... by far. Let me know if you want to brainstorm email opportunities via email. Or I'll be in Vegas in March.
I now return this thread to its regularly scheduled programming. - Mark
We follow quite a non-traditional model. We understand this may keep us smaller than if we blasted out marketing. We prefer to grow organically for now

I agree with donk4u the tournament should be slowed down.Week ago" Sunday 1K" had 100 players participating.I believe it is record for non freeroll on Seals. I think that Seals should start moving more to industry standard MTT structure.

That is a bunch of fucking horseshit. I hate slow blinds all-day bullshit. I'd like some actual super turbos, like 2 minute blinds. That'd give you fuckers something to bitch about.

When it gets down to 25 field if there are 75 runners majority of players have 3 big blinds which makes it a shovament. That's great for krillrolls but I want value for my buyin. Your full of crap with your all day tournaments the Saturday which is the best structured tournament lasts 3 1/2 hours and is super slow. Even the 5k krill is 10 minute levels. There should be a happy medium in any case. I want to have more then 3 big blinds when its down to 25 people . There aren't that many 20 chip 1k guaratneeds to choose from in any case. 1 hours and 30 minutes to get to 400 800 blinds is ridiculous with a 75 plus player field unless your a donkey shoving luck box player.

That goddamn thing was at 8 in the fucking morning today. I just shoved it all in with QJs and some retard with AA called, thinking that hand wins on Seals. Bastard sucked out on me and I went back to sleep. I don't care the structure, no poker tournament should ever start at 8 in the morning.

Starting times are ridiculus for sure for the krillas no rhyme or reason . I could have sworn you had ak btw in the 5k krilla. Only a 120 player field though and about 30 of the people that signed up sat out .

They are held every X hours, that's why they keep switching around. The 1.25k Krill freeroll is every 100 hours, which is not an "even" number when it comes to 24 hour days. I like it the idea in that it gives people every opportunity to play in different time zones around the world.

It's a simple fact, though, that the overwhelming majority of players on Seals are in America, though, and that this results in absolutely ridiculous schedules for the vast majority of players.

1) 20 chip Deeper 300 GTD runs for 1st time in < 1 hr (11 am EST / 2 pm PST for us 'muricans) the "deeper" = 5k chips / normal structure / see if the lack of 150-300 here is offset by moar chips. (harder to edit structures than starting chips for us ATM) 2) on the subject of krillroll start times, Freemoney set the rotating regeneration times from the get-go and I like it - yes, I too am occasionally mad I miss free equity at odd times for me, but when developing a rewards system for all players, we must think about all players. I may be waking up early or going to bed late for the 150k krillament

Didn't realize hard to alter, edit structures.
because the data is money with bitcoin, SwC must be 100% security focused. This can lead to something seemingly simple like a structure change requiring more steps than it may appear from a player perspective. note that we are working hard to fix how agile we can be.
