New Feature: Big Blind Ante!
Today you will notice a new button appearing on the configuration screen. We now have support for the "Big Blind Ante" (BBA) format. It is available in our MTTs, Sit-N-Go tournaments, and the "Final Table Trainer". You can see the location of the checkbox in the picture below.
Please note the following:
1. Currently the default is still traditional antes. You must check the box to use BBAs. However, in the future, the BBA format will likely become the default.
2. The BBA format is not available in our legacy "Adobe Flash" game. Less than 3% of our customers still use the Flash game.
3. There are slight rules variations between cardrooms. The format is still evolving and we will attempt to replicate the rules in place at the majority of cardrooms. For example, in our software, the BBA is paid **before ** the Big Blind. This may come into play when you are very short on chips.
I hope you enjoy the fruits of our hard work!

You're welcome!
Just to let everybody know, there appears to be some bug affecting the Big Blind Ante. One user reported that when he got to the bubble of a MTT, the stack sizes of his opponents got huge (into the billions). We're trying to figure out what could be causing this. Let us know if you've seen it.
Ok, we believe the bug is fixed now. Please let us know if there are any other problems.
