Hello Hello,
We have a poker league where we play 11 regular season tourneys (anywhere between 12-17 players each one) with the top 9 players in point totals advancing to the championship table.
We had the season 1 championship in July and season 2 just kicked off with tourney #1 Saturday night.
Season 1 went better than expected and everyone loved it. One thing I want to tweak is the championship table and it's starting stacks. For season 1 your regular season points total became your final table starting stack (in thousands). The points leader had 680 points and started with 680,000.
The full final table was:
2K - 4K starting blinds
Starting Stack BBs (rounded)
1st 680,000 170 bb
2nd 596,000 149 bb
3rd 539,000 135 bb
4th 478,000 120 bb
5th 449,000 112 bb
6th 432,000 108 bb
7th 429,000 107 bb
8th 406,000 102 bb
9th 399,000 100 bb
With the blinds starting at 2-4K the "shortest stack" had 100 big blinds.
For season 2 I want to have pre-determined stacks for each position 1 thru 9.
(we do 30 min levels for the final table and have a professional dealer so it runs very smoothly and we get in more hands than the traditional "pass the deal"....which is what we do for the regular season tourneys)
Maybe something like:
1st - 170 bb
2nd - 150 bb
3rd - 120 bb
4th - 100 bb
5th - 90 bb
6th - 80 bb
7th - 70 bb
8th - 60 bb
9th - 50 bb
Is there a better way for determining starting stacks for a tourney league championship?
As I said, season 2 just started so I have some time but want to have a concrete FT format in the next few weeks so it can be communicated to the players.
Any help would be appreciated....I know this is the best place to get it!
