But do you not agree maybe making the clock quicker to start with, when no money is being decided, getting the final earlier. Then lowering the blinds so that when the important stuff is being decieded there is a little play!

This is one idea we are looking at... shortening the clock to 20 minutes until level 1000/2000 and then going back to 25 minute levels.

I believe that this would be an effective measure along with shortening the re-buy period from 120 mins to 100.

There should be a decent length final otherwise what is the point

The one thing about this tourney that I find a little off-putting is that the final starts at 4.15.

I agree with most of Junior's points, especially the one about shortening the rebuy period to 90 minutes.

Theoretically that would offer another 30 minutes for play in the final stages.

It is a real shame that Nightfly's hands are tied regarding earlier starts and smoking, to name a couple of things.

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!
