The main concern for me with this is that you are going to get all the good DTD players going to be in twice, but all the satellite qualifiers and Herbert's favourite, the idiot who has just got his salary, will only enter once. I think that this will toughen up fields even more than on FullTilt where a similar system operates.
If they're that good they'll make day 2 on the first attempt so they'll only be entering once. Alternatively if they have a suitable bankroll they'll take a few risks to build a stack on Friday knowing they have a second shot on Saturday. When they go gambling with weak hands towards the end of day 1a you just take their chips off them. Friday should definitely be a much tougher field than Saturday. As I said though you'll also get a bit more gamble and not necessarily +EV moves from the people playing twice which will even it out. You just need to spot their less than optimal plays to take advantage.

i would defo play day 1a but this first one falls on my eldest sons 4th birthday party at cheeky chimps. this for me will be more of a draw than just playing at dtd with the usual chimps.

Speaking as a coach myself  , I think this is a particularly silly point...

I think this is a positive change in the format. After all what is wrong with trying to rejuvenate an event that gets a bit stale during the Summer months?
I will probably try and attend more of these now because of the extra added value.
Also with regards to start times. I tend to agree that 5pm feels a bit too late. But on the same token 12 is too early (we are poker players!) I think something in between like 3pm feels more comfortable.
Good luck with this Simon.
