Des,
What the hope for Week 1?
Would be good to get some feedback from Stars too, on what they think about the numbers

I believed we would get a record turnout Waz, but not 547 runners.
Perhaps not for PokerStars, but for every other major online operator in the UK, that would be an extremely good result. For a non operator to be able to produce those numbers, is exceptional.

If its an extremely good result, why on earth would you want to change it

The number dropped off significantly (20%+) after the first week, before the 4k structure had been played..... that"s over 100 people that didn"t come back after week one. Perhaps a sign of people not liking the 3.30am finish?

Actually 17%, it dropped off even more with the current structure (27%) and that"s without allowing for any of those "not liking the 3.30 am finish" coming back for the 1am finish (I"m sure there must have been a few). Perhaps an even bigger sign.
What amazes me is this league is the biggest recruitment tool for APAT (via the teams) yet having got new people interested - especially looking at the Wiki page, "player friendly structures" - their first experience is this, most won"t come back. I know we are taking the structure that Stars suggested but surely that"s a standard structure that can be tweaked in any number of ways.

This was from the last post I made on the "finishing time" thread on the captain"s board.
It looks like match 3 ran off even more quickly than match 2, so I will speak to PokerStars again to look at the earlier stages of the tournament.
For all of those posting sentiments along the lines of "**** structure" and "APAT don"t care", please grow up. Our players are all we care about.

I"m merging the "Yes 500" thread with the "Match 2 Structure" thread as many of the themes are similar.

Great, a game of fill in the missing letters.
Can I go first ?
Des, is there a letter "c" in the word ?

Not in the missing letters, no. ;)
