So a 5-6 hour tourney on a Saturday (it will be a night time for some of us on the other side of the globe) is a bit ridiculous imo.
Most of us are only playing daily tourneys, because they're turbos...so it would be nice to have the same format in this final tournament as well.
Ridiculous? Nah. Would have been better if the format was announced sooner, but the date has been set for months. Requiring some type of skill for the final tournament is a very nice change, as the only final to a contest, since I've played poker here, that required skill was the World Cup. Of course, it's a luck fest to get on to a team in the first place in that.

All of the donkaroos have had their share of turbo final tournaments that end up being all in/fold with half the field left. Now the people who want to actually play some poker get their turn. The good news, for those who want a bingofest instead, is that there is bound to be a bingo hall open at 5pm EST on Saturday that they can go attend instead.
