SPT

The tournament is designed, on instructions from Sky Poker, to begin at 2pm on a Saturday and finish (including breaks and dinner) within 10-11 hours for a 1am finish at the latest

With 150 people starting, that means the current structure as is shown by when these events finish.

If the starting stack rises, the blinds have to be quicker or blind levels fewer to fit these timings

Unless Sky want to run with fewer runners, or the event over two days

So the simple answer is "no", unless Sky Poker change the required criteria for SPT events and ask you to play for significantly longer, or over two days to conclude the tournament

Whilst these might not be a problem for some players, such moves come with added costs (for the venue, staff etc...and extra costs to players from hotel bills etc)

Hi Shauny

The problem is that with 5k on that structure it finishes around 2am, with 10k chips you would need to alter the clock to say 24 mins from 30 and would prob end around 3am.

My local Alea plays 24 mins 10k stack and it often ends at 4am, that is too late for the SPT (the guys that are working tirelessy etc) It still becomes a bit of a shovefest late on.

I agree with you but the problem with that Blackpool tourney on the Fri night was it had no antes, it went on till 5am and that is too long.

The structure of the SPT final is fantastic but that is a 2 day event

Is it as simple as putting your name on a list on the day? and by what time?
How many alternates are allowed or is that dependant on how many get knocked out?

First come first served from midday

Alternates for the first two levels. As one is knocked out, the person on the top of the list gets in
