How was the hospitality suite received this year? I didn't hear anything about it pro or con.

I played this format in one of Howard's twin tournaments in Las Vegas around the year 2000. I lost my first, rebought and didn't lose again until Nack beat me in the semis. I enjoyed the format. In Michigan last year I played six matches; Masters, Doubles, Main, Second Chance, Consolation and one Blitz. I lost every match at DMP. I imagine this format feels a lot like I did in Michigan when things are not going well. It is inevitable that this format is going to generate some bad experiences for those who feel cold, but keep reentering because the equity demands it. I expect I wouldn't have liked the format very well if I had lost one section after another either. It isn't surprising that you've had a variety of feedback. It might be an improvement if the rebuy fee was roughly equal to the equity added by rebuying. Then people would be less likely to feel obligated to rebuy when they felt cold.
