Provisional Structures can be viewed here

Trying to cast my mind back, to former 6 max events, but did APAT have antes kick in level 5?

May be mistaken.. As I think I busted before then  

It"s been a busy morning

In the structures there are no break times mentioned for the HORSE, Stud , Razz.
Am I right in assuming that they are every 2 hrs like in the Omaha and Holdem?

Pretty much.  Breaks will be slotted in on the day to fit with DTD staffing, but roughly every 2 hours will be about right.

Indeed I bet the laptop is smoking hot!!  

Antes.... Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Well done APAT; this could be the best yet!!

Question regarding the Open event; Do you not think the structure is maybe a little shallow for such a relatively high buy in when compared to other events DTD run.

I appreciate its a late start and there"s a lot to cram in but can this be looked at?

That"s a provisional structure, just waiting on DTD to confirm that the predicted finish time is about right, or if we can pop a few more levels into it.

Bearing in mind, we will hopefully increase the capacity if there are enough numbers for it.

For the ME - I think that"s the usual £75 structure. It"s £100 this time - can we have 20k instead of 15k?

For the Stud games - instead of ante"ing up every hand for the first few levels (when the ante is high in relation to the bring in etc) can we make it so that the button antes every hand, that way then it could go like this (btn ante)-BI-COMP-RAISE:

Level 1: (50) 25-50-100
Level 2: (100) 25-75-150
Level 3: (150) 25-100-200
Level 4: (250) 50-200-400
Level 5: Everybody antes up as on the structure.

Agree. The worlds were 5K more than the national events previously to reflect the higher buy in. Just because we"re getting better value in the nationals now, doesn"t mean we don"t want better, better value in the wcoap lol.

Bumping this to get more opinions on the structures - particularly the Stud games.

[DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be)]

For the Open event I agree that the structure should be better because of the higher buyin.
Not really an opinion for the Stud games as I don"t play them alot...

Technically there is no button in Stud but I understand what you are saying.

I actually agree with this, it makes more sense at the lower levels.

I disagree; it"s daft IMO

[Bedzilla]

How come only 10,000 chips in the Omaha? Is it a super turbo?!

+1
Not appropriate in Stud.

If there are concerns about the size of antes compared with bring-ins, just make the stakes higher and the starting stacks larger

Not a bad idea.

How about we leave the antes as per the current structure, double bring in / SB & BB and increase the starting stack to 10K

LEVEL	ANTE	BRING IN	LIMIT	TIME
1	25	50	100 - 200	30
2	25	50	150 - 300	30
