New structure thoughts

[daveyb147]

So how did we get to this? though we were discussing the structure and how much better it is.

Because people were suggesting adjusting the structure so everyone who makes day 2 cashes and so helping with hotel petrol expenses etc.

I think all that people are saying is IF the money is reached at the end of day 1,those still in will have some extra cash toward the expense of staying another night,,something a lot wont need who have already gone home,,,yes,i know some will have booked the 2 nights already but would guess most will not have.

As i said earlier all we can ask is that an attempt is made to reach the money without spoiling the tournament.

 It will not happen, especially in the tournys with 200 + runners. The structure is a huge improvment on last year, and no need to spoil it just to get in the money on day 1.
Only way this can be done without spoiling the structure, is to start 1 hour early ( casinos wont have this) or take away the 1hr lunch break (players wont like this)

I think we can lose the dinner break and just have another 15 min break instead. That will save a few minutes. With no buffet, players can just order food from the valets. Would be interesting to see how the kitchen would cope with this though.

I"d rather have longer to get normal priced food then be forced to pay for casino food - especially for some of the venues where the quality isn"t that great.

I thought the new structure was perfect

Think dinner should be 40 mins not a full hour. Still gives you plenty of time to find somewhere nearby and eat (not that I made dinner but had to spend 60 mins with Shelley instead of 40)

In the big field APAT events (200 runners), I believe that the objective is that the dinner break is 45 minutes as this enables APAT to stagger the break over a level.

Half play on for a level while the other half eats....when the 45 minutes is over, they swap.

Simples.

... taking the dinner break away would reduced the chance of being poisoned by Scottish pies ...

I think it is a much improved structure. Antes kicking in suites me as alot of players are way too tight and don"t adjust.

There is still plenty of play overall. Great tournaments for a £75 buy in, well done APAT.

you should never just play up until the money , it should be whenever is best for the structure of the tournament, whenever the money bubble is should be irrelavant in my opinion.
If you come to apat event you should stay that night and enjoy social aspects of an apat event, if you make day 2 bonus!

Bit of a catch-all statement Steve...  not everyone can afford to stay over, and would choose to drive home....  coming back for day two is additional expense, offset by getting paid.

Do people really leave the decision to stay in a hotel till they know if they are through to day 2?

Yes.
