World and European tourneys
FlyingPig73:
That is a good point made by Jon and one that think is very true...
You may just enter a ballot because there is no effort in it....
If you want to go, which I very much do, I have in the past put off going to a party till I had gone through the clickfest.. I explained in very simple terms to the wife how important it was to make it in....
Not bothered which days to be honest as long as I get in, but if I was to be fussy I would prefer the Sunday and Monday.....
I wonder if swaps would be allowed as long as agreed by the two parties included....Although I could see this causing a headache......Unless there was a deadline set, say a week before, after that no swaps allowed...

I reckon that the two Day 1s will be for the same duration or until a certain number of players remain. At the Edinburgh tourney, we were less than a minute from ending day 1 when we were reduced to 20 players. When we resumed the next day, we then played one hand before the blinds increased.
I hope that we get the option of choosing which Day 1. Saturday would suit me fine and not just because Mark wants to play Sunday. As I live in London, it will only take an hour on the train so I don"t need to stay over.
It would be good if there were live and on-line satellites but I would prefer a ballot rather than a click fest. In the past, I have not been able to get to the computer at the set time.

The problem with a ballot is that people will be happy to enter a ballot just in case they can go. So it"s likely to have a higher number of people dropping out.
Whilst this is good for people on the reserve list who are then able to make it to the venue not all of us only live a single short train ride away so it discriminates against those who live too far away.
I think a small proportion of places through satellites and a first come first served "clickfest" is the right balance.

I agree, so long as the "click-fest" isn"t next week... as it would discriminate against those of us who are on holiday and will not have access to a computer. 8)

Unfortunately there will always be someone who for some reason or another will miss out. That's life as some big teeth person once said
