IMO shocking scam to keep you in DTD for food/drinks. Where was the dinner break? I know peeps that were waiting for food over 45 mins then it was served up cold whats all that about?

Now I know why the staff at DTD get food discounts at other outlets on the complex!!!!

Other people had issues re the skinny breaks re hotel check ins. Please take into account we are all not regs who play every APAT (would like to but work etc blah blah)and take a 5 day w/e to play.

I played 10 hours of poker yesterday on a packet of crisps during play n a sarni for breakie b4 I started. THIS IS NOT GOOD. And If im honest I find eating at the table bloody rood anyhow.

I know DTD wont stop eating at the tables but for us who want a decent meal can we have a 45/60 min break in 12 hours next time please? Is this really too much to ask?

Rant over

No need for the rant really

It is a function of the structure

We have 400 runners and have given everyone 15,000 chips

If we put a big dinner break in each day, and still looked to finish at a reasonable time each night, then the upshot would be that we would not be ending the torunament til 5am Tuesday morning

So, by removing the buffet break we save time in order to a) use the superb structure and b)not end at a time that would make it difficult for finalists to get to work tuesday morning

This is APAT's decision, and not DTD"s

I do not appreciate the use of the word scam, if you really thing APAT or DTD for that matter wants to scam members then you are best off playing other events

The structure is cracking so no faults with that. But issues with food / booking into hotels are something to think about going forward and if you ignore that then you are fools. I suggest start at 12 or 1 0 clock.

[ronaldo07]

Oh and minus 3x 45 min (sat/sun/mon)breaks from your est 5am finish means you are going to aim for a 0245 finish anyhow and I dont know about you but I work an 11 hour shift starting at 7am so sane difference really
