So,
(a little background)
For those that don't know, I host a 30-max tournament each month that doubles as a league.. There is no up front cost to join and you can play as many, or as few, games as you would like. $10 is pulled from each buy in and rebuy (1 per person until 1st break). I use a formula ( (ROUND(LOG((#of buy ins & rebuys+5)/rank,10)*100,0)*15)*2) + 100 for each bounty) to calculate points for each person. 1st out usually gets about 400 points, whereas the winner gets roughly 5000 points. I add all of the points together over the course of 11 months, and this equates to your starting stack at the final game. There is roughly 3000 to payout for the final game (top 30 players). I also provide a 1k bonus (T10k starting stacks) for an on-time bonus.
This is our 1st year back after about a 3-4 year break (family issues). This year, I started allowing 1 rebuy per person prior to the 1st break. Your stack needs to be gone in order to rebuy. At the same time, I also don't put the chips on the table until the player arrives (prior to the 1st break). Once the arrive, they receive a full stack. Some players aren't too happy that very late players come in with a full stack, while others prefer that. Most of my late players have non-traditional jobs that require them to arrive late, and I know the full stack keeps them coming. I was planning on keeping it that way, but with a few complaints, I figured I would ask the community their thoughts on the matter.
I know I can make the rules how I see fit, but would like to hear your thoughts.
Also, anyone local (on in town on the 1st Saturday of the month) looking for a seat, you are more than welcome to join in; even if for only 1 game.
