Just read the accumulator idea on the blog from a point of view from a recreational player who travels 50 miles to get there I would definitely avoid playing any tourney where a chip leader from day 1 could potentially be short stacked on day 2 because he only wants one entry and has to work where as someone else could play 6 day ones and accumulate a stack. Being relatively new to the live game I am surprised at the lack of ideas across many casinos - for example bounty hunters and tourneys where each table plays to one winner and those winners then form the next round seem good ideas. The down to one player could be a two day with the first round on day one. Why not even a champion of champions where every winner of major tourneys play each other every so many months? 1% of the pot could roll towards it. Just my twopenneth for some thing else to try - the chip leader I think is very good and should prove popular again so well done on that one.
Cant see them implementin this, like u say not fair on those who only play 1 bullet. Might b worth considering allowin players to enter as many day 1s as they like but can only carry forward their biggest chip stack. Just a thought...... I've emailed Rob Yong direct, but in essence this is wrong! My only concession to the issue of shortstacks would be to allow those with less than say 8BBs to sacrifice their stack and re-enter. Can't allow people to play with the safety net of already being through. Why not? |

Just as an aside, I visited 3 cardrooms last night and including my own, attendance is down about 25% since Friday. Stokes GPS may suffer a little too. Apart from the first glimpse of summer, it could be the fact it's Ramadan causing lower attendance.

Can't allow people to play with the safety net of already being through. Why not? Because it would completely change the tournament dynamic, and could put many off. Imagine day 1g. It would be full of 100bb shoves where people who have already qualified try to get a massive stack with no real fear of busting out. When I first heard the suggestion I thought it was a good idea too but the more I've thought about it, the more it's clear that it wouldn't really work in practice |

Rather than an accumulator you could let people play all 7 day ones and they carry forward the highest of their chip stacks.

think DTD could still do some thing about the potential over lay
why not run an on-line day one Friday night along side live ?
effectively an extra day 1

Already covered why that's a poor idea. Sure if you read back you'll find it. |

Hi
A slightly better turnout tonight, I don't know where the rumours about DTD expecting 500 players on Friday are coming from ?!?! - we only have 79 players bought in for Friday! I wish....I have had player texting me to reserve a seat - with only 79 in so far, im sure everyone will get in!
There will be no extra Day 1's or flights or any changes to the schedule
Payouts will be posted on here by Nick tomorrow
