Well I looked at my schedule for the week and I was pretty sure that I wouldn't have time to get everything set up Friday so I did it today. Now I also host a Thursday night game with 7 players so setup isn't going to be in the way.
Things I checked off the list today...
Got chips and soda at the store.
2 new lights hung over where the HU tables will be.
Tables set up and covered (cheapo felt that I hope to change this summer)
Chips set in starting stacks and racked.
Bracket Finalized and rough copy drawn on paper- 8 players have committed to playing, if I get more than 8 that commit I will open the bracket to 10 by adding 2 prelim matches- Loser of that Match will get 1/4 their buyin back.
Cards on tables.
Tournament Director File created and modified- 9 rounds total (but 2 really shouldn't be used....but you never know-I will post this later, because its late and I need to get some sleep.)
iPod playlist created,
Here are some pics....I will post more from Saturday (Final Set Up, Pre-Tournament Cash Game, Tournament Pics, and Post Game Pics)
The tables...its a little hard to see them, but there are two long rectangular tables there and two benches under them for the guys who get stuck along the wall.
The Cash Game Table....depending upon how many people actually show I may need to set up an additional round table...I will wait until that night to decide about that table.
Workbench where the TD on two monitors will be displayed, also the food will be here...
The Chips and Cards....Fauxs Baby!! Oh and a setup of Copags for each pairing as well....they are all different I will post pics of those after everything is set up.
Breakdown: T10K Starting Stack
20 Black T100
8 Purple T500
4 Yellow-Black T1000
(I know these are Fauxs..there Monacos, but remember at one time there weren't any yellows on the market, and dyeing hadn't been thought of yet....during that time I purchased 150 of these and 1.25" labels so I am gonna keep using them for a while)
Thanks for checking these pics out! More to come...
