tournament structure tweak

(1/3) > >>

Zozzy:
Apat is well known for having a great tournament structure. Can I suggest a small adjustment for next season.
The removal of the 150 ante and 250 ante.
If the antes progressed from 25 to 50 to 100 to 200 to 300 to 500 this would be an improvement in my opinion.

Swinebag:
Agree with this. The 25s should have been out of play by the end of day 1.

Otherwise the structure is perfect.

It should be pointed out that we normally try to play at least 12 levels on Day 1.

The antes are 300 at Level 13 when we come back on Day 2 and we can colour up then.

For a variety of reasons we finished at Leeds Day 1 at the end of Level 11.

I think the structure works fine as it is. The antes should, I think the consensus is, be 1/8 of the big blind..and what we have has been working for us for some time

I just wish we got 8 x 25 each instead of, quite often, 4 in the original stacks.

Casinos just hardly ever stock enough meaning the dealers are making change more often and slowing the game down.

IrishTom:
I"ve copied the structure below for your info - the 25s go out of play after level 8, and ideally I"d have run the Leeds event until after Level 12 when we could also have got rid of the 50s (or if not used the 25s - as we know most casinos ONLY use 25s and do not use 50s) for the start of Day 2 - but felt with runners left etc it was best to stop after Level 11.  Also, sometimes it"s best to leave the casino to it, even though it"s not going according to my OCD nature! - they were just a little pushed/stressed about a few things, and chipping up was one of them - especially on Day 2 when the chipping up happened when players were at the table and therefore delayed play - far from perfect, but overall, they did a good job - but NORMALLY, we"d run the event until at least Level 12 and therefore get rid of 25s/50s.
