while we are waiting for final - anyone have any suggestions on how we avoid late finishes like this in future, options are;

1. cap runners at the GTE ie. 500 max for £150K, turn people away above the 500
2. 12pm starts day 1 and day 2
3. take out 4-5 levels
4. reduce 40 min clock to 35 mins
5. reduce chips to 20k

etc etc

Cheers Rob

any of the above except for taking out levels, would be disastrous.

12pm starts please Rob, if the staff can manage it

Many travelling players for Day 2 are out of hotels by mid morning and waiting for the club to open


Don't think the other options are too palatable for players

+1, Levels have to stay as they are. Chips to stay at 30k as well.

12pm start would be most beneficial to all I would say, especially Tighty!

I would say leave day 1's maybe play an extra level and then start at 12 on the Sunday. Shorter breaks would also work. 20 min breaks are too long in my opinion have 5-10 min breaks and that is more than sufficient. I believe the breaks are 20 mins now and there are 4 on day 1? so making these 10 mins long would save 40 mins and would allow for an extra level? Starting at 12 on the Sunday and having shorter breaks mean that even with 700 odd runners it could be finished by 2-3 which in my opinion is not to late
