Des:
How shallow would you make starting stacks in those earlier rounds, if best of 3?

With 10 minute blind levels, you could start with 30x - so 1500. After 20 minutes, using a steep structure, blinds would be 25/50, 50/100, 100/200 = 7.5x Avg stack. Each round is unlikely to go much beyond 20 minutes, meaning if a match lasts all three rounds, it should be done in an hour.
Deep and steep with best of three has got to be better than having something slightly deeper with one game only (imo). Unless you start 100x or more with a slower clock, it doesn"t really matter whether you are 10x or 50x - it"s all going in preflop so often. At least if it"s best of three, it"s not a case that the match is simply decided on the first flip.

You mean shallow and steep?
This just makes it best of 3 coinflips IMO. I already decided if the structure of this tourney doesn"t change I won"t be playing it again and this doesn"t entice either. Against a random opponent there"s just no wriggle room, best of 3 or not. Some play has to be encouraged.
Tweaking the above to 15 min and 2K start, best of 3 would improve it though I"d rather see 3K.
Remember this is supposed to be a championship event. If the staff aren"t available to put on a championship event then I"d rather see it NOT on the schedule.
You could I suppose do a round or two of pre-qual online, and then progress to live rounds of say last 16 and beyond. This might help drive a better live structure whilst allowing a decent structure in the earlier round(s) albeit not F2F.

And it wont be BO3 flips, a lot of weaker players will get it in hugely behind.... and u *should* hold 2/3 lol
it was annoying, to play for 10mins, get it in 75/25 get sucked out on and be out....waste of a day
10 min blinds, 2k stack is fine.....BO3
40bbs, 20bbs, 15bbs, 10bbs thats 30-40 mins a match (and a lot will go 2-0)

Fancy having some kind of Charity APAT Event in Season 6? Even if we didn"t do a pot split for it, we could add a reg fee, and with 120+ runners that would be a nice amount for a worthy cause. Just a thought!
