Season 6 Discussion

[TightEnd]

are you are talking about two day 1's and a final day, or a three day comp with a different structure?

I think most would prefer Friday (7pm start and play most of the night, ie you don't necessarily have to take all friday off) to Sunday than playing a final stages on a Monday.

You'd also get a lot more viewers of a stream or an update or both on Sunday than playing it out on a Monday afternoon.

Personally, I am ambivalent

This for me x

More importantly, feedback on the following would be useful.

If we were to run a larger three day event over a non bank holiday weekend, would it be a better option to run Fri to Sun or Sat to Mon?

It's a whole lot easier to get a Friday off work than it is to get a Monday off. And as Tighty suggests, starting the Friday late in the day and playing a late one, would be preferable to taking the whole day off work...

Friday to Sunday!

Otherwise a lot of people would end up taking Monday off 'just in case'.

That's why knowing the event type is important.

If it's 3 separate comps (perhaps HE, Omaha, 6-Max) on separate days then it doesn't really matter.

If it's 2 x 'Day 1's and a Day 2...that's a whole other thing....and that's where 'just in case applies'.

This.

Assuming 2 day 1's, Tighty's point (and how DTD run their deep stack) works well - but would throw up the (sadly) inevitable re-entry question. People tend to arrive at APAT events early friday afternoon so could play friday night and socialise on the saturdays.

We had a 2 day 1’s at the first “worlds“ that started on a Friday ended on the Sunday which was sold out (2.30 start). I would gladly take a holiday to play an APAT on a Friday or put a sicky in on the Monday if I got that far.

Friday for me

Friday to Sunday please

[Hammerite]

In my opinion Friday - Sunday would work best, for the reason that if you know you are playing on the Friday or Saturday as your day 1 then this can be planned for in advance. It is not easy to plan for a Monday off when you are only going to actually require it on average 10-20% of the time. Unless of course your Mr. Murray or Mr. Shallis in which case it is a given

Assuming it's 2 day 1's and a final day then deffo Friday-Sunday, but with the proviso that there is a side game on the Saturday afternoon to encourage players into Day 1a. (Omaha please!!!!). Can't see many playing Day 1a and then having nothing to do Sat. pm.

[Delboy]

Friday to Sundays is best.

Re-entries to be allowed if there's enough capacity.

[Newportlad]

Friday - Sundays gets my vote as well please.

As long as there is a bar, I'll attempt to play any day you want.... True story
