TL;DR: I would love some help collecting simple data.
Someone recently made a theoretical but excellent observation about tournaments that I really liked on another one of my threads. It goes like this:
(Assuming no more rebuys / addons) In very general terms, a tournament will have (can support) roughly N players remaining for every (10 x N) big blinds of chips in play.
e.g. If blinds are currently 1k / 2k, and there are 180k chips in play, you could expect a ballpark of 180k / (2k x 10 BBs) = ~ 9 players.
I would love help from those of you hosting or playing in upcoming home tourneys in collecting data around this. (I will do the same, but no opportunity until late Feb.)
I think we'd just need to note:
- Total chips in play once freezeout period starts
- Total number of players
- When each player gets knocked out, note the blind level
Sincerely appreciate the assist from anyone who's able and willing to do this! I'll report my findings as well.
Cheers!
