Tourney Help me confirm this for our tournament tonight. (1 Viewer)

First of all, yes I'm aware there's a $25 missing. I know someone will point it out. But here are my thoughts.

6:30 start
12/12/7/5/1 starting stack
T15,000

17 players
$40 buy in ($10 Bounty).
2 rebuys, none after the first break (level 5).

Want the game to move to a final table around 11pm.

When would this game realistically end?

How many rebuys do you expect? If you say 15%, so rounded up to 3 that is 20 T15k buyins.

(20 x 15000)/20 = when big blind is roughly 15k the tourney will end. I usually add a level just in case.

So my guess is 11:50 pm it will end.

 

[JScott]

Okay thanks. with the added breaks I'm going to put in that works well.

Tourney usually end at the level when the total cash is below 20 BB

I’m IN in your tournament
When??????

 

[JScott]

Game ended at 1:45 btw. That was mostly due to really lax rules on breaks.

The good news. I won my first MTT.

No chips missing. Can’t complain, it was a great night.

More pics tomorrow.

Breaks running too long can be a time killer. The thing that used to kill us was not letting the clock run through and pausing after breaks.

How many rebuys did you have?

Only 6.

And yes, we chatted and everyone was cool with it going later. I think I’ll nix bounties though. That’s the bigger pia for me to deal with than anything. That and “the blinds are right there… left of the dealer… the amount is on the screen”. For literally every hand.

@JScott, Do you remember at what level the tournament ended?

 

[allforcharity]

I realized just now that Largo is not Blofeld and the dog is not a cat.

ah, the joys of hosting a tournament for non-poker players. never again.

what app you are using?

Blinds up on iOS. I like it. Takes a bit of practice though.
