Only problem I see for me is the 6 max and high roller clash.

I think it"s a great decision to have these 2 events are on the same day. 2 holdem events to choose from, you either go for the higher buy in or lower. That way you get the chance to play other variants on other days.
The main thing I"m saying is the heads up is a traditional event, with a defending champion, and it"s one a lot of people really look forward too as there isn"t many heads up tournaments going in the poker calendar. I thought razz or the cash game tourney would be more suited to being on the last day, as I regard the heads up to be more prestigious than them. But that is just my opinion. Other players are saying they can"t wait for the Razz, everyone"s different!

Now then, I"ve got to say that the schedule is fantastic in what its offering to the players; the variety of games and the amount of tournaments at the best cardroom in the country. We have been utterly spoilt by it and a great round of applause goes to the team yet again for making it all possible.
but i do have to vent a little frustration at the possibility of what Liam has brought attention to.
As said already, yeah you have to priortise the games you wanna play as there simply isnt enough time across the weekend to play them all. For example i have to pick between omaha and HORSE with regards to my starting day for the main event, not great but heyho.
i think the point that liam is making isnt around the fact you have to choose events to play, its to do with the fact that new events which have no history are causing an affect on past winners returning to enjoy past tourneys. of course, with the heads up event, if i do make day 2 (hey, who knows :p) then i miss out on the opportunity to defend a world title in a poker tournament, which i think for anyone would be a massive disappointment.
and unfortunately for me personally, i am the only one affected by this, so i guess others wont really give a hoot.
what may have been an idea (and i dunno if it wasnt possible) would be to have both the cash game and high roller event on the final day as there would be a small number of players left from the weekend competing for the main event and also there could well be more chance for players to play the higher buyin events due to a successful/profitable weekend or for those who dont fancy the mixed/varient games and just focus purely on a holdem event.
it is a small disappointment on an otherwise spotless schedule, either way i cant wait the weekend and congrats on a spectacular festival ahead.

Well said Chris, pretty much what I"m saying! Great schedule, very well organised, just a tiny shame you could miss out on defending your title like we spoke about.
And yes, the razz and cash game tourneys really do look fantastic, but the heads up is a past tournament has a history about it, and maybe should be held in higher regard than the new tourneys.
