Tournament and PD Tweaks to Help Fill-Rates

Nicolino Di Benedetto · 10-16-2025, 01:38 PM

Hello, everyone!
Following every refresh, we evaluate the offerings of tournaments and Perfect Drafts to decide if any tweaks or changes need to be made. The last refresh on Sept. 29 was received with great positivity, but we noticed some changes are needed to keep the flow of tournaments and drafts launching on or near the scheduled time.

Please keep in mind that we have more tournaments and PDs available now than weve ever had before. We've also increased the variety of formats to keep things interesting and fun. In order to maintain those goals, we have decided to simply decrease the number of entrants into nine tournaments and nine drafts. All nine tournaments will go from 64 teams to 32, while eight of the nine drafts do the same and one other goes from 128 to 64.

We'll continue to monitor the situation, in case we need to increase these numbers back due to demand.

Here's a list of the tournaments and PDs that will see the changes coming in the next day or two:

Tournaments:
*1*Daily High Iron Historical Cap
*1*Daily Low Bronze Only Cap
*2*Daily Gold Cap
*2*Daily Silver-Low Gold Non-Live Cap
*3*Daily Max Boom Cap
*3*Daily 1946-2025 Open Low Cap
*3*Daily High Fives Cap
*3*Daily Diamond Cap
*3*Daily Open Medium Cap

Perfect Drafts:
Daily Mixed Bag Evening
Daily Gold Cromulent Evening
Daily Up Late with Diamond and Gold - 64 teams
Daily Make it Snappy Overnight - Speed
Daily Rise and Shine - OG
Daily Jerk Store - Speed
Daily Live Breakfast
Daily Rocking Chair Lunch
Daily Evening Rocking Chair

Along with the changes of entrants, we have changes to the prizes and PTCS points. The latter is available on page 2 of the Road to the PTWC document, but here's a refresher. The PTCS points system was set up prior to OOTP 26's release for this very reason. We wanted the flexibility to move some tournaments to 32 teams, if necessary.

PTCS Points (32-team tournament/PD)
1st: 20 points
2nd: 10
3rd-4th: 6
5th-8th: 3
9th-16th: 1

Prizes for 32-team dailies:
1st: 70 Stars and 20 Standard Packs
2nd: 40 Stars and 12 Standard Packs
3rd-4th: 10 Stars and 8 Standard Packs
5th-8th: 5 Stars and 5 Standard Packs
9th-16th: 2 Standard Packs

Can we please change the lowered tournaments back? Especially with having the ability to join 5 daily's, pretty much every tournament for like 7 hours from any time in the day is already full. You basically have to wake up in the middle of the night to sign up for tournament the next day to have a shot at entering anything.
