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?...

I"d rather spend 4.5 hrs playing poker than watching the drivel that"s on TV most nights... if you"re playing for the money the Bunch of Fives probably wouldnt be the first choice so it"s more about enjoyment and personally I"ve thought the structure was fine and would have loved my participation in the events to have gone on longer (especially tonight ;)) I struggle for 7pm start coz I start work later, other people have to be at work earlier so might not appreciate later start... but at least they"d have the sweetner that they"d probably have made the cash the night before if it did turn out to be a problem for them.

3 hours for a 7-player tournament? You"re kidding. It took longer than the Hold-em, which had 33 players?
That suggests there"s either a problem with the structure or a problem with the players, probably the former.
There were a lot more players in the 5CD last week. It would be interesting to know how long that took.

Even more miffed now having seen final table... dont mind finishing third but would have liked the chance to have finished higher... low numbers also deprived those who did take part in 5CD of a chance at Top 2 place. As I didnt cash in any of the events it was the added-value prizes which kept my interest. Had there been late reg things could have changed although I suspect Tony was probably intending to take part via late reg as well so it"s quite probable nothing would have altered. Both he and Paul were extremely consistent and are worthy winners but I"m sorry the way it turned out I do feel it was a wasted effort. Also dont see the "as per Boss Network Rules" in first announcement at bottom of thread (not that that would have made any diff as I"m not familiar with those rules anyway). Appreciate all the effort that goes into organising these events but situations like this dont help increase the number of people participating... it"s really put me off... although I hope that changes before next week comes around.

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

The Limit games will always run longer, and structures can be speeded up a bit without overly damaging the tourney, however please don"t change the NL or PL structures - they are spot on (escpecially the PLO8 structure! ;) )
Agree with reversing the order - 5 card draw is a bit of an anomalous game to some people, and putting it up front is likely to get more runners that putting at the end when a lot of people will avoid it because they have no chance of winning the league. I would suggest putting the NLHE round at the end to try and maximise attendance.
Start time at 7 or 8 - 7 is preferable to me, but not much difference between 7 and 8 in reality.
Lastly - Boss late reg rules.... have to ask... Why? I don"t think Stars has ever done this with late reg. Seems daft for something to be advertised with late reg, only for someone to find the registration closed immediately after the start - surely from Boss"s perspective, that"s a negative restriction on their own business?
