Tourney 11 Player Conundrum (1 Viewer)

[Mr Winberg]

the 10 handed unofficial “final table” (money bubble was still at 9, with 10th paying same as 12th, only top 9 make the official final table) was perfectly balanced

This makes a lot of sense, IMO.

10 handed tables were eliminated from the TDA rules during the TDA summit this summer.

A proposed change to do away with 10-handed final tables in nine-handed events passed into the rules, with the caveat that some rooms would need to look out for their bottom lines and combine at 10 if they needed the table open. The main reasoning behind the change is so the final two tables are balanced at five and five.

Makes sense to me that if one is going to permit 5 handed play in an 11 player situation, I can be permitted in a 10 handed situation as well.

9 handed tables are way better than 10.

I don’t get it, the 10 handed unofficial “final table” (money bubble was still at 9, with 10th paying same as 12th, only top 9 make the official final table) was perfectly balanced

Agree, the final two tables were 6 & 6, followed by 6 & 5, before combining into 10. Not significant that they now play down to 5 and 5 before combining imo. Sounds more economics than game play to me.

We have two tables of 8 play down to a final table of nine (TDA compliant, fwiw). Regardless of event size, no table is ever fewer than 5-handed before the final four players.

We play one table with 11
