Hi all,
I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I want to get this straight once and for all and I feel dizzy reading all the past threads.
I know that for a single table, 10-player T25 tournament 10K starting stack (12/12/5/6), the breakdown below is highly recommended
120 x T25
120 x T100
50 x T500
75 x T1000
35 x T5000
However, if I would like to run the occasional 2 table, 20-player T25 base tournament I would need to adjust the starting stack to 8/8/4/7, and I found the following breakdown:
160 x T25
160 x T100
80 x T500
140 x T1000
60 x T5000
Using this breakdown, after all players have bought in, there will only be the 60x T5000 chips remaining. I will need max 40 in the rare case that everyone uses their rebuy chip, and the remaining 20 would be used for 50% starting stack addons. (I would imagine it is very unlikely that all 20 players will bust out and rebuy before the rebuy period ends, but it is likely that all remaining players will choose to addon to their stacks)
My main question is how the coloring up would work exactly and if the breakdown above is equipped for rebuys, addons, and color ups for a 20-player tournament. My group is used to playing with non-denominated dice chips and our starting stacks and breakdowns never required coloring up. Essentially, I will be introducing the concept of a T25 base structure to them and we will start to play much more similarly to casino tournies.
Are the T5000 chips the only chips used for coloring up? Will the above breakdown take care of all rebuys, addons, as well as color ups?
Finally, has it ever been an issue that rebuys are only done with 2x T5000 chips? Is it possible that players busting early will cause there to be too many T5000 chips out there too soon? My concern would be about making change for the newly re-bought player so that he has sufficient low-denom chips to make the bets he needs to, and if this will cause any problems if there isn't a major chip leader at each table to make the change while still having enough low-denoms himself.
Has anyone ever ran into problems like this in their tournies? Again, I am very new to this type of structure so I am not really sure how it all works.
My wife very generously gave me a 'gift card' for CPC chips and I plan to design a custom set. I wanted to have my breakdown and plan absolutely straight for when I am ready to build the set.
Thank you all so much!
