...
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.

Agree with this. I was playing live cash so not able to devote total attention to tourney (so I could have missed something), but it felt like one minute I had a well above average stack and the next it was shove/fold. Certainly didn"t feel the same as normal stars tourneys and felt very turboish. Was there a level missing or something????
I enjoyed last weeks structure and considered giving up my cash game for it. So glad I didn"t. Disappointed to get a message so late about the structure change too, but maybe that was me not checking emails. Personally think the structure should revert (like u say, not many will multiple FT...plus whats the harm in a late night when u have a nice bink??) or go somewhere in the middle.
Personally if it stays so turboey it kinda puts unwanted pressure on me when playing live, so I"d give it up. Horses for courses though I guess.

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"

My mistake, defo they have 10k...

Can"t wait for that one - the iPoker MTT structure has improved so much lately, and 10k/15 will make for a great tourney. And imo that is the right occasion for a proper deepstack tourney - the 4k/12 structure is fine for the weekly league event.

Perhaps the answer would be to use the same structure as the 500 Cap tourneys?
3000 chips, 10 min levels (yup sounds turboey at first) - but with a smoother transition between the levels
