Possible change to the MTT schedule
When I grind the MTT’s I play the Open, the Open mini, 8.30 £1k BH, 8.50 £5 rebuy and the 9pm TSP. The 1k BH generally finishes a lot earlier than any other tourney due to the style of game it is, closely followed by the rebuy, just because it only gets around 30 runners. The TSP on the other hand finishes generally between 1am and 2am which I imagine stops a lot of players from entering due to work commitments the next day.
My proposal is to switch the start times of the TSP and the 1k BH, by doing this they should all finish at a sensible time and may encourage more players to play it. Ideally how ever we could have scheduled 5 minute breaks where ALL tournaments break at the same time like they do on other sites.
All in favor say eye.

I dont mind either way TSP Classic is a great tourney but sometimes i am not in the mood to play it, so if it was earlier it would be a big +1 from me, although i still play it from time to time so no biggie if its not moved.
Maybe run alongside the Main?
However, I'm 100% behind synchronised breaks. 55 mins past the hour for those of us multitabling across sites.
In the evenings I tend to concentrate on multi tourney's, my own strategy tends to be:
Play the main event and mini whenever possible.
When I am not playing the main event I will opt for the TSP and either the 8.30 or 9.30 BH.
I'm not keen on any finishes past midnight, but its a fair swap for the improved structures we have and the buzz of a good win the night before always gives that extra zing needed to get out of my bed on time the next morning.
I don't really enjoy playing more than two tourney's at one time, (certainly not the higher stake tourney's) so my strategy tends to be, if I make an early exit from the main or mini, I will enter the TSP.
I was only thinking on Monday (bad night) that I like the timing of the TSP at 9.00, its a good structure, usually with a quality field, so a preferred fallback if I have a bad main or mini event.
Admittedly I don't play the TSP every night, but move it to an earlier slot, personally I am hardly ever going to play it, unless I don't enter the main event.
I think an earlier TSP slot would mean me playing the 9.30 BH more often or having an early night.
As for finishing time, does it really finish so late as 1.00- 2.00am? (its been a while since I final tabled).
When I've finished for the night I tend to check the tourney leaderboards before I log off and don't recall many nights where the TSP event is running as long as the main and mini events, certainly last night, I finished at around 12.30 / 12.45, with the main and mini still running, I could be wrong, but the TSP event appeared to have finished.
Also disagree with the 5 minute breaks at the same time, if I do have more than one tourney on the go, I much prefer the staggered breaks as I get 5 minutes respite where I can focus on just one table.
Though if you say 'other sites' do this, perhaps this appeals to the masses.
As for bladder control, sounds like a sales and marketing opportunity for Sky branded bedpans!
Cant really guesstimate im afraid as they have alot of things they want to do so im sure there's a big queue
Sycronised breaks is a must if the site wants to grow

They seem to be experimenting with one massive break at the minute.
Yeah I agree.
I know it can be a pain if you're only in one tourny that maybe started shortly before a synched break, but they're essential if you're in a few other bigger field tournies.
