I'm going to be hosting my largest tourney ever this Saturday, in conjunction with my 40th birthday. This leaves me with a problem I haven't had before, which is how to "stretch" my set the right way for the tournament i'll be running. I've never had more than 15 players before and so have always been able to do 12/12/x/x/x starting stacks. Now I potentially have to move to 8/8/x/x/x
My set breakdown is as follows:
200 x 25
200 x 100
60 x 500
120 x 1000
40 x 5000
(in reserve if needed) 10 x 25000 plaques
I'll be allowing a max of one rebuy each and will have somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-25 players.
So, here's my question. Is 8/8/x/x/x, although tight, workable for running a tournament or is it too much of a change nightmare (and I'm better off mixing in 25s and 100s from a secondary set)? Or do I need to "sell" my spare 25s and 100s to someone at each table before the tourney starts to get as much change as possible on the table?
