FFS leave the Murrin alone!!!!
It's affordable, gets a reasonable size field every night, good for a laugh during the rebuy session and the only game I play on 888PL now besides my Away venue.

The murrin rebuy gets around the same number of players but mainly different players. Need to have a happy medium.

Unsure if can be done but maybe have the murrin as a $1 with 50c rebuy and you satelite into the $10 event. Make the murrin a x3 multipler

Think there only needs to be 1 $10 event per night.
To compensate losing the other $10 event, unsure if sat/sun is quiet at most venues but maybe have a $20 weekly event,
you could use a $3 daily event to satelite too this.

Again "LEAVE THE MURRIN ALONE". It ain't broke, so why try to change it?
Are you really suggesting to pay a higher entry fee of $1.00, still retain the same rebuy of 55cent plus 55cent addons TO WIN A $10.00 SEAT?

You might want to check the total prize pools (each night) over the last 13 weeks. I'm sure those who do cash on a regular basis can buy a $10.00 seat if they really wanted too.

Unfortunately, not everyone wants to qualify for somethin that usually takes place once a month and on a weekend which doesn't always suit everyone. You only need to win one to qualify so where is the incentive to play as many Murrins as possible if you can only win one seat for the $10 qualifier??

Whereas, the current Murrin can be played as many times as a punter wants and make some valuable qualifying points (for Semi Finals) and some cash if they are good enough. As I said in my previous post, it's affordable to most low budget punters plus they can add a little bit of cash to their bank if they happen to make the FT.

Rather than replace the Murrin suggest they start another rebuy with your suggestions to qualify for another MQ event that may be to your liking!!

There are already 5 satellite ( not satelite ) events a day . No more are needed ,FFS .
If you are going to take a game away . Take away 1 of the games that bugger all people play ( i,e Warm up ) or put it in right time spot .
But leave the games that people enjoy .

p,s. Sunbury where have you finished in the last 2 seasons for the online games ( I can not see your name in top 150 ? ) sorry
