Well thanks to all who made constructive replies, and its a shame that some peeps felt the need to hijack the thread.

I still think it would be a good idea to stagger the start times on day2 to allow some early exits in the ME. Hope this will be possible for APAT to arrange



Maybe day 2 could also start at 3pm like Day 1a & b appear to be doing, meaning there would be 90 mins for players to bust out of Main Event before the HORSE tournament kicked off?




I thought that day 1 was starting at 4.30?

you"re kidding aren"t you? This thread kept me amused for ages, the irony is priceless!! :D

Back on subject, I guess it"s up to the folks at DTD what time they want to open up on the Sunday, but given that the vast majority of players will be staying nearby, the earlier the start of day 2 the better, imo.

Well I did notice one recently, concerning the progress of construction works for the 2004 Olympics, which hasn"t had a lot of activity lately.

See this thread

http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=4067.0


Thanks for this.

The main website still states the old times though, both on the "tour dates" and "Championship: Live" links above and below the main image, so I would suggest that someone at APAT amends these.

How many players are gng into day2?  How long shud it take to finish?


You need to ask Simon Trumper as he is scarily accurate in predicting such things.

Not entirely sure why you would mention a language based on Esperanto, designed to be a universal second language for speakers of different linguistic backgrounds as a language easier to learn than ethnic languages.

An attempt to derail this thread further ?

There is now no need for universal languages such as Esperanto and Ido as another common language has evolved that is accepted worldwide and the majority of the business world speaks, at least as a second language. It is called English, which is now the de facto lingua franca of business.

However, there is resistance from those born in Newcastle as they simply refuse to speak English at all.
