Tom, is there any reason why there are no antes? The six max structure / main event structure would be fine for this with the smaller stack and shorter levels. Poker without antes is painful.

I was just re-looking at this structure and thinking 10-handed with 8k, if we max out, could go on too long (what with round one then final table) - so will re-look at that later with Aspers when I"m over with them tonight.

Thanks.

Antes will speed things along.

I think it looks ok really, after two hours 20mins you are at 400/800 so ten big blinds. Combine that with some sensible antes and everyone will be playing for the win rather than looking to ladder - I can see this speeding along. Always hard to judge though I guess.

I expect John Murray will find a way to have a heads up match for 2 hours 5bbs deep.

Will you have ten starting tables regardless of the number of entries ? do you think it will get the 100 ?

Will you have ten starting tables regardless of the number of entries ? do you think it will get the 100 ?

ideally 10 tables being 10-handed and winner of each will proceed to final table - however if we get less then on the day (start of event) we will make a decision - eg

50 - is it 10-tables of 5 and winner still proceeds to final table (or 30 being 10 tables of 3 etc), or

50 - 5 tables of 10 and top 2 of each proceed to final table

That decision will be taken immediately prior to event start/table draw

NB this event WILL now have a late entry - 30 mins

[redkitebbp]

Sounds good ... noon really is pretty early for poker players   but the roads should be quiet !!!

I think most would prefer the latter, fewer tables with larger number of players and 1 or 2 to the final table. With the former, you"d have every final table player with the same stack which is fine but with the latter, you get a really interesting/tricky dynamic 3-handed where we players would have to decide if we want to make the final table or make it with a decent stack  

[mporter123]

Shooutout has to be winner of the table only that progresses. Wouldn"t really make sense to do it any other way or it"s not really a shooutout.

Also careful over how we do late registration. It"s not usual to have let reg for a shootout tournament, it would really need to be late reg players starting a new table rather than being added to an existing table. You don"t want one person having to potentially beat 8 players and another person having to beat 10. Lets hope it sells out and you dont have to worry about that.

Yes we"re aware of the potential complication of a late entry, which is why originally we didn"t have it, but tbh this 30 mins is only really to give those who have pre-paid/reserved a bit of grace because of traffic problems etc - not really intended for "new registrations" - but as you say, we"ll be careful with it to ensure we can keep the integrity of round 1

[redkitebbp]

I think if it was two to qualify it would be like a satellite and top two qualify and start next game with same amount of chips surely ? but we would have to know up front exactly what the rules were if possible.

[IrishTom]

1 from each table will qualify through with "new" stacks for final table

Please add me to event Tom, i will play as disscussed lastnight using my HORSE buy in as transfer.
