Match Structure
BOINGBLITZ:
All I have heard was complaints. If it was going to be changed it should have been done at the end of the season.
Tonight was a turbo.

Its so hard to please everyone and find a balance inbetween. The final table last week was 7 handed for nearly 50 mins. This is way tighter than normal Every final table is different obv but id take last weeks structure over this one for sure.
How aout 15 min clock (exactly same as last week) but 4k stack then instead of 5K?

Ultimately we need to finish around 1am, so we might be able to add more play early, but it"s going to squeeze somewhere....

Still a better structure than most stars tourneys....

Really?
I just took a random sample (of, errr 1, the first NLHE I saw in the microtab)
For $4.40 buy in - 10 min levels, but after 2 hours of play (so level 12) the blinds are: 150/300 a40
In this $11 game - 12 min levels - so 2 hours of play (level 10) the blinds are: 300/600 a50
(I put my working out there because I"m not ruling out that I might have missed something)
That"s quite a difference isn"t it?
I don"t pay too much attention to structure - but I do play a fair bit on stars, this "seemed" a lot quicker than the average non-turbo.

those 10 min level tourneys do have super smooth structures (10/20 then 15/30 then 20/40 then 30/60...). I picked a $2.75 and a $11 with 15 min levels and with 3K starting stacks you were in 20 BB territory after an hour which are worse than the APAT game.
I will ammend my "better than most stars structures" to "compares favourably with most stars structures"
either way - I still think the current structure is fine. I did post my disappointment about the last structure being changed, but accept the reasons for the new one.
I see that we are now down to 46 players with average stacks of just >20BB. This will probably come down by points time and the tourney should be finished well before 12, so it does appear that we may be in need of a bit of a tweak. I reckon the 10 min level structure could be awesome (not 10 mins with this structure though)

We"ll definitely take a look at this before match 3. APAT didn"t brief any level removals, so we"ll look at that carefully also. Essentially we can have whatever tweaks that we want so let"s see how the event plays out tonight and take it from there. However do all remember that our online Championship events will be played out monthly on Saturday nights with a 5k stack and 15m blinds, so we will be catering for the true deep stack aficionados also.

I thought the Online Champs events were 10k starting stacks...??
Quote from the relevant thread.... "The event will feature a £30 + £3 buy in and players will start with 10,000 chips on a 15 minute clock"
