Blinds Should Not Be More Than $2000

The tourney today went too fast after the first 2 hrs. I don't mind playing 6 hrs to crown the champion. This tourney had 370 players and only last 3 hrs. WTF?

Congrats to FuzzyDunlop.

We will slow the blinds so the best player wins.

We may need to spread the grand finale over 2 days so the final table is fresh. We will work it out.

BTW this would have been better if it was actually planned like SBR_John said.

Hi Pavy,

The tourney had 308 players - not 370.

The blinds were slowed from the usual 7 minutes. We played with 9 minutes and 50% more chips. It's not the blind minutes that would need to be tweaked to have an all day, six hour+ tourney like you desire... It'd actually be having more blind levels in relation to chip stacks, which we currently can't support per tourney.

Yeah maybe something to do on future tourneys. It looks like it's a software issue. Maybe the techies will find a way to structure the blinds slower. Just saying that 3 hrs was too fast for 308 players. Sometimes it took 2 hrs for the satellites to finish with just 60 players.
