Match Structure
Jon MW:
People will play the league because of the added value, and people will play the league out of loyalty.
But first and foremost people will play the league because it"s enjoyable poker.
Given the choice between that or having their team mates rail them on the final table - I don"t think many people would be too fussed about the rail; however much of a team game it is.

Don"t worry guys - APAT will listen like last time! I"m sure it will be tweaked again.
Week 1 was a beautiful structure, but the last 70 or so players took hours to get rid of.
The structure does not need to be uniform - tonight"s structure would be great if there were more levels early on before everyone got down to 20 BBs (which took an hour tonight). I would insert more levels early, give everyone who doesn"t double up an extra 30-60 minutes play. Allow stacks to diverge which should assist with the eliminating of players.

I assume all those complaining are out.
I"ll blame myself or the dealer for my exit.
The structure was spot on for a $11 team game

Well I wasn"t when I posted (am now).
But disagree, I think the structure does need a tweak - how can APAT attract casual players if after an hour it"s shove, shove, shove?
I and most other regulars will play regardless, but plenty of people don"t enjoy shove/fold poker and will be turned off if the perception is that the tournament is a crapshoot too soon.

As I alluded to last week - if you think the buy in should affect the structure - you"d never get a 2 day deepstack live tournament for £75.
People will play because of the reasons I"ve said - and also in light of your comment, possibly also because they think it"s only a tenner so it doesn"t matter - but I don"t think it really reflects well on APAT if it stays like this.
