I'm lucky enough to have players who enjoy cash games after busting out of tournaments, therefore I've only held freezouts for a while. The next time I have a rebuy tournament (i.e., when not enough cash game connoisseurs sign up) I'd like to try a "prebuy", or whatever it's called when you pay the buy in and a rebuy/addon up front, and automatically get a new stack if you bust before the break, and if you've not used your rebuy you get an addon.
In the invite I'll give it the super corny name The You Only Live Twice Tournament
I'd like to try this because a) I've never tried it and b) I think it might play as a freezout but with cooler protection. And, as a bonus, everyone is forced to contribute fully to the price pool compared to a standard single rebuy/addon tournament.
1) What are your experiences? Is this format worth trying?
2) To make it play more as a freezout (i.e., to avoid manic play during the rebuy period) I've thought of maybe punishing the players who rebuy by making the addon 1.5 x the starting stack (Edit: in better words: rewarding survivors). Thoughts?
