Tourney Advice for expanding tournament set to cover 40 players (1 Viewer)

[Rhodeman77]

I am contemplating adding onto my tournament set to be able to cover up to 40 players.

Currently the set breakdown is as follows:
T25–240
T100–240
T500-120
T1000–300
T5000–80
T20000–20

This is designed for 20 players with a 10k+ starting and rebuys if needed. It can also cover 30 players using 8/8/4/7 10k stack. Or 15k adding a 5k chip.

I much prefer 12/12/5/6 though so less change has to be made.

With this in mind I know I would need to add:

120–T25
120–T100
80–T500

To be able to cover 12/12/5/6 for 30 players and that will be enough to cover 8/8/4/7 for 10k stacks for 40 players.

My question is should I bother with more T1000 chips or get more T5000 chips to cover coloring up, bigger starting stacks etc.

What would you recommend and why?

With 30+ players I don’t see rebuys being offered as it will make the game go too long, but larger starting stacks could be used (15k 20k). Also if it is something like a league game that has bonus chips for top 10 players.

And of course we have to have some pics of the set!

I think 300 T1000 chips is fine, and you should be ok with the amount of 5ks as well...

My 30 player set is
400/400/200/300/100/50

I usually get about 35-36 players after rebuys, and never get all of the 5k chips in play.

10k with 40 players is only 400k on the table. This is all of your 1k chips and your 5k chips. (with some 20k). if anything, maybe just bump your 5k chips up a tad (maybe add another 20-70 chips)

My other question is then do I use the tri-moon spot for the 100 chip for the add-on. I would mix them all together.

T25–240
T100–240
T500-120
T1000–300
T5000–80
T20000–20

To be able to cover 12/12/5/6 for 30 players and that will be enough to cover 8/8/4/7 for 10k stacks for 40 players.

Those numbers work out to the following set (excluding re-buys):
360 x T25
360 x T100
160 x T500
288 x T1000 (includes chips for T25 color-ups)
23 x T5000 (color-ups for T100/T500 chips)
15 x T20000 (color-ups for T1000 chips)

120 x T25, 120 x T100, and 40 x T500 is all you need to add. 300 x T1000 is plenty, and 80 x T5000 should also suffice (you currently have 57x extra T5000 chips for 28 re-buys (or T15K starting stacks for 40 players). You'd never need more than 15 x T20000 chips to replace the T1000s. Even if replacing the T1000 chips with T5000s, you'd only need 58 chips (so you're one chip short).

If wanting to offer 20K stacks for 40 players, you'd want to bump your T5000 count up to 103 chips. To offer 20K stacks for 30 players, you need 83 total chips. Probably wouldn't hurt to add a barrel of T5000 chips, but certainly not required.

My other question is then do I use the tri-moon spot for the 100 chip for the add-on. I would mix them all together.

I think they will mix very nicely.

Mix them. My custom set had 312 mixed with 414 and 312 mixed with 614. With same colors, no one will really notice.

I emailed David today to place the add-on order. One more step on the road to hosting a bigger Meetup game.

Newbie question here...…. why wouldn't you just get the same Spots?

Why not?
The colors are the same and the spot pattern is very similar, but wasn’t available when I placed my original order.

Casinos have multiple versions of chips on the tables all the time.

Ignore my terrible inlays...these were my customs from ASM (Classic Poker Chips now). The top row was my original order in 2003. Then a couple years later, they offered more spot options. I added on the 414 blue and 614 red. I mixed them all the time. They played well together. Then when I sold them, I split them up to send them 3 different places.
