Online Satellites - Too many chips??

I am concerned with very late finishing times, particularly on a Thursday evening. Should we be cutting back to 3,000 chips?

Well satellites and regular tournaments do play out differently, but I assume that Monday"s game ended when it was down to 16 people, and that was about 00:41 I think... play that down to a winner you might be looking at another 90 - 120 mins.
Not having the antes does make a big difference.
When you consider that a regular tournament on BlSq is 1500 chips and 10 min blinds, I think that 3000 and 15 mins will give plenty of play... for both satellites and APAT Online Series games.

Is it not possible to keep 5000 chips but start a little earlier on a Thursday? People who work afternoon or night shift are pretty much stuffed but the vast majority of people who work office hours would be home by 6.30pm allowing the tourney to have a fighting chance of being finished before midnight allowing the early risers some semblance of a good night"s sleep.
N.B. Before I get flamed, I am NOT saying the vast majority of people work office hours, but of those that DO work office hours, the vast majority would be home by 6.30pm. God I"m so defensive!

The commuter trains out of Waterloo at 6.45pm suggest otherwise.
6.30pm is way too early to start.

5,000 sounds fine for the online events, and 3,000 for the online sats?

I like the sound of this, keep 5000 for the events because there is points up for grabs.
