There will always be a pinch point in a tournament - in this one, the pinch seemed to be around 75 minutes

But if you take advantage of the late registration then this comes after 15 minutes. Surely not what an APAT tournament should come across as, especially for new recruits.

Sorry, but defining a structure to allow those that join at the end of the late reg period is a flawed approach. If you late reg, you have to accept that you will be short stacked very early. If you join at the start, you have a 200xBB stack!

Whatever else - great for railing ... finished 15 mins early!
Scotland on fire.

That should never be forgotten, makes a big difference to the feel of the tournament when there"s a decent rail right to the end.
With 454 runners it finished just before 1am, which I think is as late as we"d want it to go. So, without wanting to start any earlier than 7pm, then I would suggest the 4k and 12 min levels structure is just about right.

It was "just about right" - just 5k and 12 mins would only last about 20 minutes longer - but delay the pinch point.
I watched it all - out in about 97th having lost two races - no big deal there - I was lucky earlier.
It felt that there were two pinch points one about 75-90 mins in and one about 3 hours in - most of the exits were pretty standard I"ve got a good hand shove vs I have a good hand call ... flip a coin ... felt a bit too flippy for me ...
Right result though!

The structure MUST be changed again.
Week 1 was far too slow, took forever etc etc
Week 2 was too quick, flipaments etc etc.
And in both weeks Scotland scored big points. Simply must not be allowed to happen again...CHANGE IT! ;)

This is a $11 weekly tournament, for it to go on till 3am is a no go for me and I would assume also for a lot of people who have to work on Monday morning. Also support on the rail is important within the team aspect of the game.
The current structure is perfect for a reasonable amount of play and to finish at a reasonable time
