Whilst playing NLHE and PLO is something I personally do regularly, I can see that this change of format may well hinder some teams, where players dont regularly play PLO. It may be the case that some players have never even played it before, thus putting their team at a huge disadvantage.
In addition, why are we playing 2 different games at the same time? I never (previous apat onlines aside) play more than one table at a time as I feel I get a much better handle on peoples play by watching just one table. The format has changed hugely by the PLO inclusion and this certainly wasn"t mentioned in the original post. The final match will feature heads up and sit & go rounds to determine the winning team. A third place playoff will also take place utilising the final format
I"m struggling to see why these matches can"t be played on different nights, especially as they are completely different games!
Personally I"m all for the format overall, but not playing it at the same time.

This format completely sucks. I have never played Omaha. Had you mentioned an Omaha element to this competition at the outset I would never have entered.
I have multi-tabled before and could cope with doing so again but to do it whilst trying to play a game I"ve never played before is not something I relish.
I"m pretty tired of everytime any online competition in APAT starts, the format seems to be different by the end. However, it"s been pointed out that this wasn"t advertised as EITHER having Omaha OR as exclusively Hold'em ........ it just wasn"t mentioned. But the chance to know what to expect would have been good so that someone else who can play Omaha could"ve taken my place in my team.
I sincerely apologise in advance to my team-mates for my clueless performance in the forthcoming Omaha match and for turning our good chance of getting something out of this competition into a complete luckfest >:(

Tbh i would just have an eight table sit and go, that would be carnage lol. Just imagine the collusion and softplaying then an all in feast when the blinds get big. If it were a tie then who ever wins the stt would win the comp for the team, Nuff said!
I also agree to be fair that the others who havent played omaha would be at a huge disadvantage and to have this put upon them was a shock to me. Its a shame as omaha is my favourite game but i will go with the majority im afraid Matt.

It"s no odds to me what games we include as part of the cup. I"ve just set them up as instructed.
I"m not sure what you mean by an 8 table sit"n"go? Do you mean an 8-seat sit"n"go? If so, that"s the way it"s already been set up (but omaha and hold"em on subsequent weeks, rather than just hold"em).

On reflection I can see what people are saying, it does seem like like moving the goalposts and I do sympathise. Maybe it would be better to make this competition NLHE all the way through.
I think if you want to mix up the games then make the next cup competition a mixed game championship, but don"t just have NLHE and PLO, have as many variants of the game as the software will allow, be it Razz, Stud, Badugi, Acey-Deucey or whatever. I got my poker education through the LPM, if you can describe it, we"ll play it.
