Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

They've tried now doing the practices and now two 25-minute practices with a 15-minute break between, is it?

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

15 minutes?

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

Yeah, it was meant to be 15.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

Meant to be 15 minutes.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

And the reason they're doing this, it started at around 2 o'clock on Friday, is that they want to give the teams, I think it's something like eight hours they need of set-up time, but they give them that between the two days.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

They give that between Thursday afternoon set-up and Friday morning.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

They've gone to this to try and reduce travel expenses and get the teams to fly in later because if we can set up at 8 a.m.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

Thursday morning for an early Friday practice and Friday afternoon practice like we used to have, the teams have to fly Wednesday.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

So their plan is to now get teams to fly Thursday and,

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

give them a few, what was it, two hours they had on Thursday?

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

Two hours Thursday, yep.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

Two hours Thursday afternoon to set up and then it's like five or six hours they get on Friday morning before the practice sessions, which I kind of get.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

I think that...

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

don't quote me on it.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

I think they were saying with, with accommodation, you know, I'm sure they charge out the staff.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

It's about 30 grand, the team's budget per day.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

It is for, you know, each, each extra day is 30 grand to have the personnel away.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

So if you can reduce not flying Wednesday and go on Thursday, it's a fair bit of a cost saving, but it kind of then makes the practices a bit average, but also I think,

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

I get if you've got to cut costs, we've got to do these sort of things.

Lucky Dogs
#29 - Luckless Launnie

But, yeah, Friday's just such a short – like, you know what I mean?
