I for don"t think a dubble stack is a good idea. I longer clock is always better then a stupidly large amount of chips.

for no limit i agree, but this is plo. Why we arnt operating on the same format as the successful Irish leg is a big surprise, irrespective of the additional numbers possible...

Pls tell me what you mean about NL or PL as I don"t see why you need more chips to play a PL game.

Not the limit, but the game. And not necessarily a double starting stack, but a double chance where players can choose to take the 2nd stack anytime upto a certain level.
Bigger average pot sizes in PLO make the same size stack last less time compared to NLHE. Add that equities run much closer in PLO than NLHE and it"s easier to be forced into a flip for your tournament life. Double chance ensures people can take that shot with a bullet behind = less nitty = more action/bigger stack sizes/better comp.
Doubling the starting chips only a couple of levels difference in the grand scheme of things. 2m chips at 10k/20k is the same BBs in play as 4m at 20k/40k - which 1-3 levels further on depending on how generous the structure is.
But gives more play to everyone at the start.

The opposite. Less action and a nitfest encourages shorter stacks and then everyone just waits to get it in pre and flip.
Every tournament reaches that point, but delaying it as long as possible gives stack size time to diverge. If everyone has the same stack size everyone is hamstrung.
