We are having Round 2 of the Vigo Villas Invitational this Friday night. This is a NLHE event. Last month was our first tournament and everyone loved it. Currently we have 17 people confirmed to sit in a 350 Qatari Riyals ($96) buyin with 50 QR ($13) going to the house. 25 QR of each buyin going to the bounty pot and during the buyins players will have the opportunity to buy the ShowEm and Rabbit Hunting Chips for 5 QR.
I am using Tournament Director to run the tournament and below is my starting chip count and structure.
T25 - 8
T100 - 8
T500 - 8
This may change once we get all our chips consolidated and get a better count of what we have to start with. Regrettfully we are using Dice chips until my customs arrive.

10 2000/4000 400 15 mins
11 2500/5000 500 till the end
There are quite a few new people learning to play tournament HE so I am trying to keep it sort of conservative towards the beginning, so droves of people are not droppping out in the first 30 mins. I want to keep their interest and also allow the better players to bide their time waiting on better opportunities to come around and not push all in preflop to get a call from middle postion and have an 8 4 suited take them out.
Anyhoo, I am going to be taking a virtual buttload of pictures to inlcude people, chips, cards, trophies, money, chip counts, bounties, etc... You name it.... WHOA ok not that far but there will be lots of pics for all to see come Sat or Sun.
