Match Structure
samson:
For me week one was too deep and finished too late, however with 200 fewer runners the structure probs needs tweaking again.
People making comments such as not going deep often enough to worry about a late finish is frankly a bag of *******.
I play tournies based on how much time I have to play them and expected finish time, not to waste buyins cos I will be out early (even if that is the case often)
This is a weekly league game, not a deepstack event. All that happened in the first week was players folded for 3 hours until the blinds were big enough to play hands.
The newer structure isn"t a crapshoot, but players need to learn to adjust to it. These games are still lasting 6 hours, longer than previous seasons on other sites

Just to echo this - if you go back to 5k/15mins - even with a field half the size you will very likely only finish 30-45mins earlier.
My earliest posts were very much keep this great structure - but it is too late a finish to be planning for any/each week.
5k/12mins - would very likely finish by 1am - as would some other structures.
Looking forward to week 4/5

Ty Myles.
Just to confirm, we have added three new levels to the 4k / 12m structure, which should retain a 1am finishing time while offering more play in the opening two hours.
The DTD £1m Guaranteed UKIPT satellite will run alongside match 4 (starting at 8pm), to the same structure.

Ty Des, seems like a sensible compromise. I will be playing.
