I've run this tourney once with 40 people and it was great am planning on doing it quarterly. Most of the rules were taken from a friend's poker tournament and I'm just looking for people's input on what they think. Am I missing anything? Is anything wrong? Do you like the side prizes? Do you like the bounty chip? Do you have any other side/bounty/etc ideas to make it more interesting for people who might get knocked out, out of the money? etc
I'm especially interested in people's opinion on the blind structure. It went well for the first time and I think I like how it played but I'm always looking for input (and I wasn't in very far so I didn't really get a feel for the blind structure the whole way). I did read the thread about blinds and such (and posted my structure there) but most everyone was talking about smaller tourneys and almost no one used the T10,000 setup (starting with $25/$50 blinds) or if they did they just started with much higher starting blinds. The tourney ran 6+ hours and was just about perfect in terms of length.
Really the tournament is much more relaxed than the rules seem to imply (I don't think we actually looked at the rules the entire first time) but I'd like a good set of rules/etc to be able to point to for new players and in case we ever have a disagreement.
Any comments appreciated.
