Match Structure
dwh103:
There"s always a drop off in league numbers, so no point people arguing that the lower number of entrants is because of the structure. Absolute rubbish.
galo5767 does have a point though I"m not in agreement with the tone of the post - the people that should be asked are the casual players that don"t shout loudest and post on the forum. Find out why those who played in week 1 and/or 2 haven"t played in week 3 - job for the captains?

Thanks Leigh. So more dropped after wk2 than after wk1. Might that have happened anyway, regardless of structure, or might it be an indication of feeling?
I"m sure there"s a structure out there that will suit most desires - Dave Howard made some good observations in the Match 3 thread last night, looking at the Stars 500 cap structure with 3k/10, but a shallower climb.

Can"t take any credit for the research of the 500 cap, that certainly wasn"t my suggestion! Kudos to the researcher though!
Fully believe the structure we currently have would be acceptable - with a couple of minor tweaks, that"s all!

In advance: Structure is too quick. More levels please.
However, I"m not just here to moan. I have a suggestion.
During the first 2 weeks, the average number of players is 500. APAT have consistently said that they want the league games to last 6hrs (ish). So...Pokerstars run a range of CAP tournaments. I had a look at the only completed 500 cap F/O that I could see in the lobby. It was an $8.80 that started at 10.15am and finished at 16.07pm - which is 5hrs 52m.
The blinds? 3k/10m, but the 72 level structure that Stars has, rather than the 56 level structure that we currently have. See below (We use the one in the middle/right, I propose we use the one on the left)
This seems to have been written specifically for these capped tournaments and seem to be perfect for what we want.

That"s the kind of drop off I"d expect just from a normal league.
For this league, with the initial numbers I expected there to be about a 100 down from the first week then 50 down to this week.
Anything above that - might - be a sign of dissatisfaction with the structure

Didnt play last night but how many runners were there?
Was it more than 547 or less?
....and it if it was a lot less, how delighted are the sponsors??
Also, if there really were as many happy as there were unhappy with the opening structure, why was it changed at all then???
