I"m sure most APAT members will have seen Rob Yong"s latest blog. It included this sentence..


"At the moment MTTs are horribly sluggish, 80% of players don"t even bother to play from the start, MTTs finish so late that nobody who has to get to work in the morning can realistically play, all these bad changes have been made by operators to hit guarantees at all costs regardless of player experience."


Seriously?

I love DTD, have had lots of great experiences there. I"ve played tournaments way outside my bankroll through their outrageously good value satellite structure. Picked up a few flags there ;)

But they pioneered late registration and have stretched that period to the limits at times when guarantees look like being missed. They"ve even gone so far as to throw in extra Day 1s at the last minute.

I applaud the move to shorten late reg, and the move back toward genuine freezeout tournaments, but let"s not forget that this "problem" stems in part from DTD itself.

I"m sure many would agree with that David, although I doubt many would actually say it.

Indeed.

Maybe post it on blonde where it might get seen.

I don"t think DTD started this- extended late reg was on stars long before it was anywhere live iirc

Newcastle on Sunday for the English Championship. All being well I"m travelling up with The Fossil, aka Erimus, aka Brian. Considering how close we live it"s a shock to realise I haven"t seen him for six months. Back in the day we"d probably see each other two or three times a week but I"ve cut back on my poker a lot and he has better things to do on Sunday afternoons.
It will be good to catch up.

I"m looking forward to the game, I don"t get to play many decent structure 40 min clock events these days and it"s a bit of a treat to be honest. I am intent on making Day 2 so expect me to be nitting it up like a good un ;)
