[SwoopAE]

Just some feedback - 30 minute levels in a 12k event with a 30k start bank is a pretty annoying structure because you're going to be 600bb deep for a while, then 10-15bb deep for most of the important/ITM portion of the tournament. This is somewhat mitigated by you including so many blind levels though.

In a $1200 event, something like 20k start bank with 40 minute levels on day 1 and 60 minute levels thereafter would be a much, much better structure.

The levels will also be brought back to ensure the final table has a minimum 40 big blind to average stack ratio. <-- this is nice, but going from pushbotting with 10bb stacks all the way back to 40bb will alter the dynamics a lot; if you're going to do this you're much better off just increasing the level length so the stacks dont get so short in the first place then doing something less drastic like winding the clock back 1-2 levels at the final table - you could easily end up winding the clock back four plus levels with your structure here, although having all the levels does effectively make the blinds closer to 35 mins than 30 effectively I guess in what it'll do to the average stack sizes

[random_chu]

sigh, what a retarded structure.

A fairly modest field for this event with just 79 entrants but great to see several interstaters making there way to Adelaide.

Hi SwoopAE,

Your feedback is most welcome - yes this was a slightly different structure!

The clock was wound back two levels when the final table was made (Level 20 back to 18).

At that time, there was an average stack to big blind ratio of 20.25 - this was the lowest the ratio had been prior to the final table being created.

The tournament concluded at Level 27 (SB25K/BB50K/A5K) at aprroximately 9.40pm.
