How long will the WCOOP ME Take?

[FatalError]

Right now the 4600 person 6max event, with BB=Starting stack at lvl 17 is going on 16 hrs, the main event is BB=SS at lvl 22, and starts an hour and a half later

it looks like the ME may run for as long as 20+ hrs, until about 9 am PST and noon est!

should stars be working on 2 day tournaments for the wcoop? or would restarts create way too much account swapping and other shenanigans?

[Clayton]

definitely 2-day tournament. anything else is really inexcuseable. FullTilt and PokerRoom have run 2-day events with little if any flaws. PokerStars should do the same.

[rothko]

agreed. two day tournies during wcoop would make it extra special and be better.

clayton, i'm waiting to hear your e-mail.

2000 people is the guarentee, i think it will be more like 2400-2700

Two day events is infinately preferable to reducing the structure; and therefore the skill factor. This tournament has been fantastically deep the whole way through.

[rothko]

deep is good, but let them sleep.

I would guess that in 2-day event half of the FT will be other players.

[Jackal69]

whoever came up with those structures as one day events should be shot... for a site that claims it cares about its European players its a total joke. Both events 1 and 2 were still going when i got up this morning and the main event and HORSE are going to take forever. GG Stars, anyone wanna buy some w$?
