***Not the Official Structure***

---

NOTE THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL STRUCTURE
Here is what I think the structure of the Irish open Main event should be. I believe players would really enjoy this structure, plenty of play but also not playing until silly o'clock in the morning.

Starting Stack: 15000
Blind Times: 1hr
Start Time: 2pm each day
End Time: Before midnight every day except the final day which may run longer (although its unlikely)
This structure was based on 1000people playing, since the cap is 800 it should be fine.

Day 1:
25-50
50-100
Break 15min
75-150
100-200
Dinner Break 1hr
100-200-25
150-300-25
Break 15min
200-400-50
250-500-50

Day 2:
300-600-75
400-800-75
Break 15min Chip Up
500-1000-100
600-1200-100
Dinner Break 1hr
800-1600-200
1000-2000-200
Break 15min
1200-2400-300
1500-3000-300

Day 3:
2000-4000-400
2500-5000-400
Break 15min Chip Up
3000-6000-500
4000-8000-500
Dinner Break 1hr Chip Up
5000-10000-1000
6000-12000-1000
Break 15min
8000-16000-2000
10000-20000-2000

Day 4:
12000-24000-3000
15000-30000-3000
Break 15min
20000-40000-4000
25000-50000-4000
Dinner Break 1hr Chip Up
30000-60000-5000
40000-80000-5000
Break 15min Chip up
50000-100000-10000
60000-120000-10000
80000-160000-20000
Break 15min Chip Up
100000-200000-25000 Frozen

With 8 levels per day + 1.30hrs break finishing time should be 11.30, however allowing for the Irish syndrome of starting late + bagging the chips at the end everything should be finished before midnight.

The last day could run past Midnight however by the time the final level starts even with dead even chips both players will only have 37.5BB's left, and that's assuming 1000 players, if the cap is 800 the BB's each would be 30.

Thoughts?Comments?Suggestions?

Regards
Ian

that structure was purely what Ian(DonkeyPoker Tour, I think) suggested. I'm pretty sure he was only basing it on what he would like to see.

Correct Pat, it was only my suggestion. Noel chose to simply read around it!

Yes i know, seen this but BCB said in the OP that he would have the full structure in a few days, but obviously he didn't, he might have it for us soon.

i think he said SHOULD have and MIGHT have, vegueness is the great escape from timely delivery, i use it myself all the time

in fairness, the event isnt for some time away yet and i cant imagine the structure being all that different from last year and certainly will be in line with giving value for money and fairness as per usual with the IO

i am so confident in this, that i am committing to entry regardless of structure being posted

cut the man some slack here, in the meantime, i am sure he would be open to your suggested possible structure wish list, so why not send him one
