good idea from flushy! - make the clock quicker earlier on and then slowing it down later.
the most important part of the comp is the latter stages and the final and this should be played under conditions that allow decent poker and skill to prevail.
Yeah its something i have thought for a while. Why do we get all this play early, when it doesnt really matter, then a crapshot when its the final?
Example, gutshot main event, we had good play all the way through day 1, day 2 comes nad it goes mad! If instead they had reduced the levels after level 5 or 6 to 30 mins, then they could have had 1hr levels on day 2 and we would have got there quicker!
