Hey guys,
As u can imagine, 3 days out from the Championships it's pretty hectic up here, so I apologise for not replying quicker.
CannonBall Event
In a Cannon Ball event, players start with a T2,000 Starting Stack. The first blind level is 5 minutes, the second level is 6 minutes, and so on. In a nutshell, the structure is Turbo at the start, relaxing as the event goes on.
As this is on the night before the Main Event, we wanted a nice quick game so that players will be in bed nice and early before the Main Event (we made a mistake last year by putting the Teams Event on the night before the Main, the event ran longer than expected and we lost players in the Main as a result...)
