I'm looking for advice scheduling our league finale games. In the past we would find a date that works for everyone and it worked fine in our 20's. As we get further and further into our 30's that seems to be increasingly difficult. I'm thinking about making a change to the way our league schedules the "Final Table" and looking for your advice/experience. Because of scheduling conflicts and that I'm the only host, I can't guarantee the league will end by a certain date, and therefore we can't pick a date at the start of the season.
Background:
My main questions are:
Background:
- 8 Prelim games + Freeroll Final Game
- Prelims are $50 buy - $40 prize pool, $10 Final Table pool
- Play in 3 prelim games to qualify for Final Table
- Points earned in 8 prelims = Final Table starting stack.
- We play roughly every three weeks
- Play Final Table when EVERYONE is able to play.
- I'm currently the only host. Maybe someday it will rotate again.
My main questions are:
- How does this work for those that pick a date and go with it this way?
- What's a reasonable number to days to aim to get The Final Table in?
- Do the previously unavailable players magically become available?
- Am I missing anything?
