apat structure
Robbiebox:
Great W/end, The Fitz were very friendly bunch locals and dealers alike. The standard of dealing was the best I have come across anywhere too.
The structure is great and perfect for most of us holding regular Mon-Fri jobs.
However and here is the but, there is a point that a few I talked to in Dublin also couldn"t understand and I think should be considered:
The tournament stops too soon on the Saturday night, I can not understand why the tourney doesn"t play down to the cash positions.
1. It seems harsh to be asked to hang around ( or drive back a couple of hours) until half way thru the next afternoon when very short stacked and forced to push within a couple of hands and receive no reward/prizemoney.
2. This would also help the tourney finish earlier on the Sunday and allow people chance to get home for the Monday more comfortably.

Agree with above. Let"s not forget it was a great tournament and structure generally, but I thought we should have carried on to 15 prize money winners on the Saturday night too. As there was a draw for the final TWO tables (I"ve not seen this done before), I was in the blinds 4 hands out of 5 and this left me in a position where I had to push with A6 off and was out very soon on day 2 for no prize and a bit of an anticlimax.
Don"t get me wrong, I may have gone out soon anyway, but I thought I had a full round to get through when I arrived on the Sunday afternoon which would have given me a few more hands to play with, and later positions to steal the blinds if it had not been raised up already. Maybe we should have piped up on Saturday a bit earlier as it was announced reasonably early enough though...?

I absolutely love the tourney - have no doubt about that - but I would also like to see it go on later on Saturday and finish earlier on Sunday. I think it would have more of a feel of a "big" tournament. Not a complaint, just a preference.
kinboshi:
As mentioned on another forum, the addition of a 150/300 level would make the already excellent structure perfect.
Would mean an additional 40 minutes on Day 1 - but surely that could be done by starting at 2 o"clock instead of 2:30, and finishing 10 minutes later.
It"s nit-picking really, as the structure is far better than anything else you can get at this buy-in level. But the 150/300 would make it spot on.
Robbiebox:
Totally agree , that the 150/300 level would add more play to the tourney. I played the Friday night game at the Fritz ( where they had 150/300 level) and was quite taken aback when it wasn"t there on the Sat APAT game ( I know that if I had checked I would have known).
Campaign begins for :
#Introduction of the 150/300 level
#Start at 2pm
#Play till the money on Saturday night
