Why did you change the entry fee for the opening and closing ceremonies to 50k? It used to be 5K I believe and as a result they were the largest fields in the winter games. Now it is 50K and the turnout is significantly lower. The opening ceremonies are suppose to be a hook getting a wide swath of players to join the promotion and hopefully enter more events. Used to be there was a 50K Hold’em MTT event in the middle of the promotion to cater to the higher stakes players. The opening and closing ceremonies used to cater to all players on the site.
Plus why start on a Monday? People work. Start on a weekend finish on a weekend at least your marque events get full exposure. Same comment for the RPOS Main Events being on a Tuesday and Wednesday in the middle of the workday. Adjust the schedules to put the big events on the weekend when more people can play.
