LARGER FIELDS DOESN"T MEAN IT TAKES ANY LONGER TO PLAY DOWN TO THE MONEY AS THE MONEY WILL START FURTHER OUT.
wHAT IT DOES MEAN IS THAT IT WILL TAKE LONGER TO PLAY OUT ONCE YOU"VE REACHED THE MONEY STAGE.~ SO DAY 1 WILL BE NO LONGER , BUT DAY 2 WILL BE INCREASED.

I can see where your coming from, but surely day one will take longer. For example say there are 250 runners and the top 25 get paid.(10%) Thats 225 players to be eliminated. At the moment 150 players and top 15 win money, meaning 135 players have to be knocked out. It must take longer.
FlyingPig73:
In B/ham I think there was 120 runners, and at the end of the first day I think there was about 33ish runners left.
You have to take into account the bagging up of chips at the ens of the tournament as well... This takes around 20 minutes at least...
So if you play down to a predetermined number you could be there till an unspecified time,,, So you could finish about 3am, if you are staying in a B&B you generally have to be out by 10 or 11.
Cazzaline:
I think the structure is spot on.

Bodddders , I know where you are coming from, it does seem as though it must take longer , but because of the extra number of tables , the players still get knocked out proportionally at the same rate. So it doesn"t matter if you start with 10,000 players, you still reach the last 10%(1000players) after the same time as you would for a 100 player tourney reach the last 10 players.
There are a few technicalities like moving tables and general organisation which slow things down a bit but all APAT tourneys could start at 2pm and finish with the money players roughly 1am-2am. ( add 45 min if you add a 150-300 level)

I guess your right, but I have very little experience of big tourneys so I would be interested if others agree with this senario.
