Just before we get into the emphatic yes...
can we just spare a thought for people like me who have to work the next day? I also have to stay up until the end of the tournament in order to get the results out. I cannot sustain 3am finishes because I need to function the next day but I also don"t want to have to give up my volunteered support for APAT either.
As much as I appreciate a good tournament, it does not need to go on until 3am as it is a series of tournaments and should cut down variance and good players should come to the top over the series. 12 min blinds & 5k starting stack is about 1.30am finish and is just as good imo.
Aside: Jon how many people are in your 5:1 ratio?

Why do you need to stay up and watch it? The results are usually available for 24hrs or just leave the tournament window open on your pc. If you also open up the last few tables then you can look at all the hand histories you want the next day. With such late finishes I don"t think anyone"s going to complain if the official result isn"t available as soon as it"s finished!

Yep we can do that but there is a desire to have a "match report" from each leg to be used in promoting the league further and giving further opportunity of exposure for Stars
WYoung83:
Your line doesnt make sense JB. Stars need any more exposure? Yeah right, most people (i would take a bet on about 90%) playing in this league would have a stars account already.
And why is there a desire to promote the league even more. We just got 547 runners baby........ and anyway, isint this is a bit contradicting then. If if gets promoted even more, then we get more runners so the finishing time will be even later?
