OK so I done messed up and I have way too many players coming to my tournament next weekend. Last couple of tournaments, I have only drawn 15-16 players so I cast my net a little wider.
I can comfortably seat 26-27 but as of now I have 33 confirmed. I am happy to sit out myself and play TD, and I know there will be the inevitable late withdrawals -but I am still faced with the possibility of not being able to physically seat everyone.
One option is to add a 4th table but the only practical location would be to put it in the garage while the other the tables are in the house. Not great. I could also tell the last few RSVPs they are on the waitlist, that makes the most sense.
I am considering a "bullpen" type system where players are seated in order of arrival. Late arrivals would be added to the bullpen and would enter the tournament when a seat opens up. Players who bust out in the re-buy period would then go into the bullpen and wait for the next available seat to open up... Anyone ever done or seen something like this??
FYI - this is a "just for fun" $20 buy-in / $20 add-on tournament, if that makes a difference...
