are you are talking about two day 1"s and a final day, or a three day comp with a different structure?

I think most would prefer Friday (7pm start and play most of the night, ie you don"t necessarily have to take all friday off) to Sunday than playing a final stages on a Monday.

You"d also get a lot more viewers of a stream or an update or both on Sunday than playing it out on a Monday afternoon.

Personally, I am ambivalent

More importantly, feedback on the following would be useful.

If we were to run a larger three day event over a non bank holiday weekend, would it be a better option to run Fri to Sun or Sat to Mon?



It"s a whole lot easier to get a Friday off work than it is to get a Monday off. And as Tighty suggests, starting the Friday late in the day and playing a late one, would be preferable to taking the whole day off work...

Friday to Sunday!

Otherwise a lot of people would end up taking Monday off "just in case".

That"s why knowing the event type is important.

If it"s 3 separate comps (perhaps HE, Omaha, 6-Max) on separate days then it doesn"t really matter.

If it"s 2 x "Day 1"s and a Day 2...that"s a whole other thing....and that"s where "just in case applies".

This.

Assuming 2 day 1"s, Tighty"s point (and how DTD run their deep stack) works well - but would throw up the (sadly) inevitable re-entry question. People tend to arrive at APAT events early friday afternoon so could play friday night and socialise on the saturdays.

We had a 2 day 1's at the first "worlds" that started on a Friday ended on the Sunday which was sold out (2.30 start). I would gladly take a holiday to play an APAT on a Friday or put a sicky in on the Monday if I got that far.

Friday for me

In my opinion Friday - Sunday would work best, for the reason that if you know you are playing on the Friday or Saturday as your day 1 then this can be planned for in advance. It is not easy to plan for a Monday off when you are only going to actually require it on average 10-20% of the time. Unless of course your Mr. Murray or Mr. Shallis in which case it is a given  ;D

Assuming it"s 2 day 1"s and a final day then deffo Friday-Sunday, but with the proviso that there is a side game on the Saturday afternoon to encourage players into Day 1a. (Omaha please!!!!). Can"t see many playing Day 1a and then having nothing to do Sat. pm.

Friday to Sundays is best.

Re-entries to be allowed if there"s enough capacity.
