Hi Jamie,

I don't think there is much I can add to what you want, but really would discourage increasing the ME entry. It just attracts those that may be able to afford it and another increase will knock off some punters for sure. With all gte's met, no need for changes, imo.

With regads to other locations, if you keep adding locations it's going to take the uniqueness away from the events in question and with one or two events within a couple of hours of most people, I think that is also pretty good. I wouldn't go adding many more locations.

If I had one thing to change, I would probably add more chips to proceedings, perhaps this is because I am used to having more chips to play with in buyins at more than £300+.

Otherwise, I think it's fine as it is.


one day you will learn that the bigger the stack doesnt = the more play!  fewer players bust early which leads to a crapshoot on day 2+ less chips more levels works well

I know this, just was a suggestion. I appreciate the longer levels.

Please don't take those levels out. Just put in slightly longer days

As a recreational player I hate those longer days. Gives me no chance to have a drink or get some food afterwards unless I stay in the casino or get room service. Much preferred the current format.

As someone who works hate using my annual leave to have to play.

Easily drop the 75-150, 150-300, 500-1000, 1200-2400, 2500-5000 levels without taking too much play away from the event.


not this, these levels are so crucial in keeping the structures good.

Less than you hate losing some levels I presume?

If the structure suffers I'm less likely to play

I think more people would prefer the tournament ends inside 4 days than would stop playing if 4 or 5 levels are ditched. 75-150, 500-100 and 1200-2400 are essentially pointless levels imo.

75/150 i can get on board with, but 500/1k is one of the most important levels in the tournament imo for keeping it semi deep.

Think structure is fine as is

2 "recreational" players have said in this thread they would prefer the tournament didn't end on Mondays.

There are 4 ways to achieve this:

1 Smaller fields.
2 Shorter levels.
3 Less levels.
4 Longer days.

I think most people would agree that options 1 and 4 are not desirable.

That leaves either option 2 or 3.

Why is option 4 not desirable? The days are really short in comparison to other live events at this buy in level.

I only have 14 minutes experience of a UKIPT main event but in that time I felt the blinds were too big
