Merge needs some serious reconstruction on how much their tournaments guarantee. I am playing the $0.30 quarter quickly tonight and it says $25 guaranteed! The prizepool was $50 5 minutes before the tourney started! And it's not just this tourney. Most guarantee's I see never have added $ from Merge!
Hmm, havenīt played tourneys on Merge so far, but this sounds weird...
guarantee tournaments mean that there will be atleast that prizepool no matter what not what is added to it
generally they do go over the amount they designate....just destroys the EV of the tourney especially sucks when its a nice EV then a huge late registration jump
i have never seem a merge tourtney NOT MAKE the guarentee tho,, they all do tho.. lol
Yeah guaranteed means is guaranteed it is that way. :D
yeah they usually make the amount based on number of players in past.Quote:

umm wrong they added a couple of new ones a while back fairly sure they are still here (the one where u get 30K as an add on)Quote:

I didn't mention anything about new tournaments they added. I was referring to the already existing tournaments. They've been around for years and haven't changed. The quarter tournament actually was first a rebuy guarantee, and correct me if I'm wrong now but I believe it's a freezeout. That's a change they made, but regardless the prizepool always exceeds what Merge puts into it.Quote:

Players are not depositing on sites ever since Black Friday so it's hard to make big guaranteed tourney's.Quote:

that is exactly how it should be rckt
Yes, the $200 is added. What he is trying to say is the guarantee is to low.
The guy who post this has to be more clear.
It's guaranted not added,,,
I know that but if the prizepool is consistently getting $50 every night why keep it at $25?Quote:

mayb the guarantee is raised once more ppl register
I am not an MTT player but since being confined to Merge since Black Friday, the cash tables are no fun, so I have looked for MTTs to join and I think the selection is just horrible, most are rebuys.
yes most are rebuys and that is annoying - but they guarantee the th amount not to add to it only if amount is not reached
havent played any tourneys in that network. will have to check that out before depositing
There is nothing wrong with the current set-up, except freezeouts should have no late reg imo
