Point taken re: late reg. We have posted the rules on late reg. on (almost) every online event we"ve run. However, for this series the text just says "Late registration is available in these tournaments (as per Boss Network Rules)".
"Boss Networks Rules" state that a minimum number of players are required in order for late reg. to be activated. I agree this could have been worded more clearly on the "Bunch of Fives" rules page.
To slightly complicate matters, Boss seem to have increased the minimum from 7 to 8 players recently, without notifying us. I will get Boss to confirm the late reg. rules, and I"ll post them up in a prominent place on the forum - e.g. a sticky thread - or make sure that all tourneys that have late reg. have this info on the corresponding forum thread, or in the software lobby itself (if there is room), or both.

A lot of people find it a stretch to get home and organised by 7o"c. As late reg is causing problems, why don"t we scrap it and just start at 8pm?

Dont remember seeing bit about "as per Boss network rules" but I"m sure you"re right and it"s there. Personally I"m not a fan of late reg, although it has helped me be able to take part this week until tonight when my unfamiliarity with Boss (as I only take part in APAT sats and very rarely on DTD) meant I missed out on playing. Think the Bunch of Fives is great, want to support Apat wherever possible, but I"m not happy when things arent clear. As 7pm start is difficult for me the experience tonight means I wont make an effort to play in future weeks, coz I feel you cant have late reg for one event and not all the others - another reason not to include HU. Put back the start time to 8pm and scrap late reg I say... oh and change the order of tournies to keep more people interested.

Good idea.
Though, if we start at 8pm the game will run on 1 hour later obviously (all other things being equal).
The end times of this week"s games were (number of runners in brackets):
Monday: Pot Limit Omaha (34) = 10.17pm
Tuesday: Hold'em (33) = 9.54pm
Wednesday: 7 Card Stud (28) = 11.26pm
Thursday: Pot Limit Omaha H/L (24) = 10.25pm
Friday: 5 Card Draw (7) = 10pm
If we move everything an hour later that could mean some games run on a bit too late. Though, we could also look at altering the blind structures? e.g Does 4 and a half hours for a 28 person 7-card-stud game does seem a little long?...
