Buy In
£200 buy in worked well imo.
Late reg
Nothing against 30 mins, maybe an hour late reg, as long as a bunch of mates don"t end up at the same table.
Tokens
- Tokens/lammers for sure. I think it would be easiest if everyone buys in for £50+reg+champs fee, then any reloads before play starts to be done at the table. Saves messing around with different stacks and relying on tournament staff to make notes. £50 in chips plus 3 lammers can be ready and waiting at the table.
Deadline for rebuys
I don"t think there should be a deadline, anything that potentially forces players to add-on is a negative because...
Profit or stack size
If it"s to be truly open to all then people should be allowed to take a shot with a single buy-in, so I"m more in the profit bracket. You decide the best cash player by profit, not the size of their stack. However, whilst I think this should definitely be the criteria for qualifying for the final table, it might be a bit weird to have a winner with £500 and 2nd having £600. Profit to qualify, stack size to win, does consistency matter?
Incentives & timing
So far, numbers have restricted the success of the format imo. Moving it to Saturday would be a massive boost - no need for an extra nights hotel and the timings mentioned sound perfect - so much dead time of a Sunday morning to be filled and 1am isn"t really too late. Awesome idea.
Other
As it"s deeper, no opinion on straddles. And as long as the rules are clearly stated then either - I"d slightly fall down on the side of tournament rules though.

This would be perfect I reckon.

I reckon that"s the perfect halfway meet between those in the opposing camps of profit vs stack size.
Top 8 profit makers get to final table. Biggest stack at final wins.
This allows those with shorter bankrolls to play and compete, but then takes away all the worries about what everyone"s buy in was whilst playing the final.

So why remove "all the worries about what everyone"s buy in was" at final table but allow that uncertainty to complicate end of phase 1 play?
