- I agree with Phil about Sundays for the National onlines, sorry Steve. If it can be done and the sponsors are happy, then I would suggest a simple voting thread on Saturday vs. Sunday



- Online Championship ~ Fine, but Sundays are Poker night.....get them moved, everyone gives up so many Saturday nights already with the live games.


Bumping.. anyone want to give Sundays for the online nationals some love?  :-*


As part of the Amateur tour, most of us work for a living - Monday is a pretty critical day of the working week, therefore playing poker til 2am on a Sunday night isn"t practical. Sunday morning"s are for recovering from late Saturday night poker sessions.

I think Sundays better for the nationals , Some of us like to go out on a saturday night and have a social life lol !
And at the end of the day i would put money on the majority of players playing sunday night for all big tournies , and if you playing late normally means a bit of cash to soften the blow to have a tired Monday !

Yes but as most of us work for a living, Saturday Night is pretty important night off whether it be with family, wives / husbands / partners etc. It may be a marmite debate but let"s have it.

Would be happy to go with the majority if it went to vote.....

However, for consideration, yes playing Saturday"s take a social opportunity away for some (but for me, poker, even online, is part of the social calendar)....  Most people who want to play the Nationals will play them on Saturdays..... BUT, some people who want to play will not be able to play them on Sunday nights due to Monday morning work stuff.

I"m already having to drop out of some of the Sunday league games - will be gutted if I have to miss the Nationals as well.... but that"s just my situation.

Would make for an interesting vote.

I think if you took a lot of "new" people to poker - most of them would work Mondays - and if they had the option of trying the online APAT Nationals as a "new" thing they"d get as far as finding out it"ll finish at about 2am on Monday morning - then they"d dismiss the idea and not even bother trying.

Some people might end up having Sunday night as poker night, with the Sunday majors or anything smaller and just putting up with the occasional knackered Monday but most players don"t start off like that*.

I think it"d limit growth to have online Nationals on Sundays.

Indeed my enlightened one. In fact I can"t think of a  better way to relax on a Sunday after 6 days of hard work than to play an APAT online national. Saturdays family and social time. Sundays pokers time. Hath always been this way.
