Sites with U.S. Player Base Need to Improve MTT Schedule
Crazy to me that the two most popular sites in the US don't offer progressive bounty tournaments and more medium-high ABI with bigger prizepools. If Ignition added a 50 PKO tourney with 15K Guaranteed or Global had a 50 Rebuy 12K Guaranteed, I would be shocked if they didn't eclipse those numbers. There is a reason the top poker streams are mtt players, its what draws in the most recs and is most entertaining to watch. /rant

Most sites don't have the traffic to support Ignition/ACR's prizepool+buyin levels. There's not enough people with money on global/BOL etc to support big tournaments every day.
A 50 PKO with 15k guaranteed is a 600 runner tournament. They get around 600 runners every day in their big featured $55 $25k. They're not going to get the same number of runners for a $15k.
PKO's in general take money from the final table and distribute it throughout the field so they're good for fish and bad for regs so they align with Ignition's mission to make life difficult for regs. They're also a lot of work to code/implement in their software which is probably why it hasn't happened yet.
