will the APAt season 2 national events have a running ante added to there structure the running ante might not seem significant but it can stop events turning into a crapshoot in the middle and later stages keeping the rate of knocks outs at a steady rate.
also does the ipoker MTT strucute include a running ante if it doesnt then can it be put to bluesq to get one inserted before the start of the online series the running ante at pokerstars is a major reason why there events never seem to end up with average stacks being forced to push or fold
minutes per level and starting stacks are only important if the right structure including a runnng ante is in place

Good point Iron, I like antes... I was surprised that they have never been in the live tourneys we have.
-
Don"t think ipoker has running antes. It might be something they will add down the line, but I don"t know how much APAT will be able to persuade them.

the APAt might not be able to persuade them
but its something the APA should/could be lobbying for along with bluesq who i assume have alot of say on things like strucutre on the ipoker network

Yes - we can but try.

I would also support the inclusion of antes in the live events.

If we have antes in the live events, can we have the 150/300 level as well?
;D

someone has a slight obsession with the 150 / 300 level ..... (i do agree tho) and antes would improve the tournaments with their being more insentive to win more pots, affects the button, sb and bb play soo much later in tournaments

But if we put the 150 / 300 level, just look at how much creativity we"d be missing out on between events ;D

If the Thursday night game is going to start at 8.00 with 5000 chips, with 15 minute blinds with bigger fields due to the cost and beginning of a new season, what time will it finish?
You can not have the structure as we have now, is it possible to have to structures one for Thursday and one for Saturday?
Adding antes will speed this up

BUMP
With regard to adding antes to live structure.

I believe from a previous post that the ante"s online is a software issue that Blue Sq are currently looking at solving to be able to offer that option. Until we know how many people register for a Thursday night, it"s difficult to predict if antes would even be necessary.
We"ll just have to wait and see.

This is something we are discussing Alan. A final decision will be taken in advance of the English Amateur Championship on November 3 - 4 in Walsall.
