Match Structure
WYoung83:
5 PM start redic. Summers comming soon, and we will be in full swing when the nights are lighter because the clocks change soon. Most people do family stuff on sundays (not me personally but i reckon some people around do. BBQs Cricket, golf or whatever) when the weathers good and they wouldnt want to rush back home to play a $11 tourn.
As someone else said ITT, individuals are not gonna go deep often enough for it to be a regular occurance getting up for work early monday morning. Even the best players would be lucky to make more than 1 final table with 500 runners over a 15 week period. And i know that lots of Apaters play other sunday tournys on stars, such as the storm and big $11 anyway, these go on untill 9 AM.
I hope they dont alter the clock or starting stack either because it was perfect.

As well as the good points just above me - all league"s have their numbers drop off. However hard the captains try this one will be no different - once the numbers fall it will towards a 2am finish anyway without touching this structure.

Despite going out in the first 40 minutes, I had a great time playing and railing my fellow NW people :D Great tournament, great prizes and great turnout :)

It will be interesting to see how much numbers do drop - going by last night - it should be super open.
I think elsewhere there were calls for more people to score points - I think top 27 is spot on.
Even with a giant team - you are pretty unlikely to have a lot of runners inside the top 27. (from 547 last night).
In terms of finishing time - took a long time from 7 runners down to a winner - so could have been earlier.
I could live with 12 min levels - would have made the event 90 mins shortly last night - but on balance it would have lost the depth of play possible.
Great work APAT in creating such a structure.

I think its perfect. Like mentioned above, no one will reach every final table so its not a case of playing until 3am every week. Although, if like me, you need to watch one of your team members putting in a great performance you may still not get to bed until 3.20am!
Roll on next Sunday :)
