Over the past 20 games, the duration has ranged from 1 hour 19 minutes to 2 hours 6 minutes.

Of course that will likely increase as we add more players to the group.

My hope is that we can get enough people to have 3 starting tables, but I hope that we can keep the max duration around 2 1/2 hours.

I realize it makes a late night for East Coasters, but I think this starting time is about the best we can do for everyone across the country. If we start any earlier, than it becomes an issue of starting too early for West Coasters...

The structure of the tournament has been found to be pretty smooth (with 3,000 chip starting stack with 10 minute levels - blinds starting at 15/30 and progressing according to the default structure of PokerStars REGULAR speed).

Hope this helps.
