Gala Edinburgh

5000 starting chips would be better I think.

even with the 53 runners yesterday another 106,000 chips in play could have given a finishing time of around 2-3am and not the midnight finish as it was.  if in future events there were to be a full compliment of 80 entrants then an extra 160k in play could extend it even further on till 4-5am  not a good idea i think.

it was a good day though, buffet was great and plenty of it. think the structure was good. cant wait till the next one

The feedback I was getting on the day was that the structure was fine as it is. With a 14:30 start in a 53 player tourney the winner was "crowned" at 23:30 which I felt was spot on. The lack of a 150-300 Blind was mentioned to me twice but at 30mins most others didn"t think it was necessary to keep the brown 25 chips on the table after the 75-150 blinds.
