What do you think of the one above?

The way (multi-table) HORSE tournaments are generally played is to have levels of a fixed length and play a fixed number of hands of each game - often equal to the maximum number of players which can be seated at a table, say 8.

Say, you decide on playing a 30 minute levels. You would play 8 hands of holdem, 8 hands of omaha, 8 hands of razz, etc. in order. When the 30 minutes elapses, you would just raise the blinds and antes and continue with the rotation of games.

If you want to add a variable, you could randomly select the order of games before the tournament begins, but you would maintain that order for the entire tournament.

Additionally, you could decide (before starting) that you will transition to NL Holdem for the final table or final two or three players.

Here is one we have used which I stole from a Circuit event a while back. Works very well. Set up just like @APatHand suggestted.

I like randomizing the games before starting. That way you don't necessarily play all the stud games at the second (or third) level for their first go-through.

Going to NL at the end can help accelerate the end of the tourney.

If you're going to have a HORSE event, have a HORSE event. DON'T change it to NLHE. If you want to accelerate the end, steepen the blind structure at that point. Horse events that end with NLHE are like fine meals that end with a Ring Ding.

Very similar to the structure we use. Color-ups after L5, L10, L13, and L18 as needed.

Unfortunately, we don’t have enough Horse players any more to have a tourney. My Horse players have been dying off.
