I was in Spain.
If I had known, I would have said the same.
But I understand that. The APAT National Online Turbo League it is then !

Shame you were away. (shoul have guessed!)
I don"t think 4k/12 is a turbo
The pinch points come sooner, but it isn"t a turbo

Previous leagues have been a 3k starting stack with 12/13 minute levels. Difficult to be able to compare the structures exactly, but I don"t recall many claiming it to be a turbo league then ?
Obviously the dealers on Pokerstars are a bit quicker than those on 888 were, but that"s the same for everyone. ;D
TightEnd:
One minor gripe, and by all means tell me this is not unusual
but it feels more turbo because many take so long to make action
When you have people timebanking in Levels 1-3 it was quite regularly that you"d get no more than 1-1.5 orbits per level
Timebanking I assume is people multi-tabling, making a cuppa etc
One hand was 5 bet pre-flop. Each raise went to timebank.
it played like molasses on my table
Act quicker=more hands=more opportunities

People may have higher expectations of a Stars tournament
KarmaDope:
It didn"t feel that players were taking longer than expected on my table last night.
Just an observation though:
Last week the structure was 5k chips/15 min blinds. A few people complained but most were happy. APAT decided to discuss with the team captains. Understandable, but it is unofficially expected that the team captains rail to the end from what I read. Ergo, these people are slightly biased to the shorter clock, hence the change.
This week the clock was 4k/12m. Lots of people complained and a few are happy, most notably from the European team, team captains and a few who have an early start. Numbers also dropped by approximately 10-15%.
APAT are never going to be able to please everybody - but I have an idea.
Week 1 was 5k/15m
Week 2 was 4k/12m
Week 3 could be 5k/12m
Week 4 could be 4k/15m
Week 5 could be 3k/10m with the other structure proposed (this is assuming that 1. people are still complaining, and 2. APAT are still looking to make everyone happy)
Announce this now so people like Brian Yates (no offence against you personally Brian, but it"s your major point) know exactly what the structure is and what week is what.
Then, after Week 5, put a poll up for EVERYBODY. Not just captains, not just a select few, EVERYBODY. Spam it on the email"s/PM"s and get as many people in as possible to vote. 1 vote per forum account. Results not to be seen until the day before.
The winning structure is the one used for the remaining 10 weeks.
