Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can give me a few tips on how to structure a tournament that my local club is running this weekend.
We usually get a guy to run it, but given we've got the chips and cards, we've figured running it ourselves is an easy way to save $200-300 on the night and just put it towards the prizemoney to garner some interest instead.
I've downloaded some tournament software, have about 600 chips (5 colours) to go around.
To get a gauge on numbers, most likely will be between 15 and 35 runners. We've only got 8 people confirmed at this stage, but will be some others that rock up - 15 arrived last year and we lost money, the year before 30 and the club made a bit. The keys are to have enough chips even if there are 35 people rock up, and to wrap things up within about 3 hours.
50/100/500/1000/2000 value on the chips and give everyone 5000, and begin with 50/100 blinds?
Or is that stupid? Really have no idea, just looking for a set-up that doesn't look or work out to be ridiculous on the night.
And it's a $1000 first prize for anyone in the western suburbs who wants a crack, PM me lol
