 Hosting A Tournament, Bel's Dad, 8. Dec 2003 09:25 | ||

| I am hosting my first tournament though I have played in a few, I never checked on a few of the details of the tournament management, as I was too involved in the game. I am expecting somewhere between 25-32 players for no-limit hold'em. Players are starting with 10,000 and blinds are 50/100 increasing every 1/2 hour. Questions: 1) What time frame can I expect with the above structure? 2) The plan is to start with 3 or 4 tables depending on the number of players (max 10 per table). How do you handle it if you do not have an even number of people (25, 26, 29, 31) in terms of splitting up tables? Does it matter if we have 3 tables with two of the three having a different total amount of chips due to an unequal number of players. 3) Lastly, what is the best method for consolidating tables? Wait until only 3 are left at each table and move to one table of 9? Move down to 2 tables as soon as you are down to 20? Do you even out the 3 tables if one table gets down to 5 or 6 when the others are still at 8 or 9? Thanks, any help would be appreciated. | ||

| 1) with the structure you set out, depending on the quality of your players I would expect play to last about 4-6 hours 2) No it doesnt matter when starting out if the tables are exactly even. If you have 25 players should start with one table of 9 and 2 tables of 8. If 32 start with 4 tables of 8. As the number of players decreases redistribute players accordingly. i.e at 30 players becomes 3 tables of 10 players 20 2 tables and so on. 3) should a situation arise where you have more than 2 players extra on one table distribute to even things out. i.e 17 players remain and one table has 10 players the other 7 make the tables 9 and 8.
