A bit disgruntled that this is on a Saturday Night. Surely a Sunday would be better and probably get more runners as I"d guess quite a few would be online grinding/satting for the majors. To alot of folk it"s a social or family night.
Can someone explain what the criteria was for choosing a Saturday instead of Sunday please?
cheers Shaz

It"s always been on a Saturday night.
For those that can"t make Saturday, there would probably be as many that can"t play Sunday due to work on Monday morning (myself included)

monkeyman:
10000 chip starting stacks and 15 mind blind levels eh? I may just have to have myself a little bit of that
AceOnTheRiver:
Can"t play Saturday but will look forward to the rest of the series (pending response to point 3 below). some observations in the meantime:
1. The buy in seems low. Previously this has been $50 and 30 Euros IIRC. Why so low and will it stay so low for the season?
2. The great Sat v Sun debate once more. Will we ever resolve this? I am very much in the Sunday camp and I believe, whilst Steve* correctly points out that Saturdays have been the norm, they haven"t always been as some MEs to close online series were on Sundays last year and we have a great track record of getting good numbers for Sunday league events. I would like Sundays to be considered for the MEs and think you would get more runners
3. Is the intention to stay with WH for the season. I will be VERY disappointed it that is the outcome. APAT members have been clear and consistent on this.
4. I sympathise with Brian on this one (although I don"t necessarily agree with the way he"s expressing himself). BCPC make up a big chunk of APAT and that event has been well publicised. Events are always going to clash sometimes (is that an oxymoron?), but was there an alternative here at such short notice? NB - to change the date would not be unprecented.
*but actually Steve, you haven"t won anything** since 2009 and Shaz won a medal this week so surely her opinion is more valid ;)
**apart from that new cash thing at DTD
**and that team World Championship thingy
