Tourney Tournament chip up (1 Viewer)

[trigs]

What is the best way to chip up T25s? Is there a best way? That is should I be exclusively using the next denomination chip (T100) or should I be trying to use more larger chips if possible?

Not sure if it matters but assume a 12-12-5-6 starting stack breakdown.

Use the largest chips possible and color up some others at the same time. For example, if using the roundup method, if a player has 5x25, ask him for 3x100 too and give him a 500, or also ask for a 500 and give him a 1,000. For a table of 10, I have 3x100 and 2x500 to use for coloring up, and rarely use all 5 of those chips. It's fairly quick. I generally count on 30 seconds a player to complete the color up, but it doesn't usually take that long.

Colour-up armaments must be the chip that has the longest life span. For example, a 10UP T10,000 tournament with 12-12-5-6 of 25-100-500-1000 denominations has 3,000 in 25s, 12,000 in 100s. You will need 15x T1000 to wipe off the 25s and 100s. To handle odd amount of chips, for example, a 24UP T30,000 with 8-8-4-7-3 (25-100-500-1000-5000) has 192x T25 totaling 4,800, 192x T100 totaling 19,200, 96x T500 totaling 48,000. First phase needs a single T5000, with taking 2x T100, making the remaining T100 chips 190. Second phase needs 4x T5000, by taking away a T1000 . Final phase needs 10x T5000, by taking away 2x T1000.

Have one player at each table buy up all the $25's (except the odd ones). Saves a lot of time and you can color up with larger denomination chips. I will announce this with about two minutes to go in the level just before the color-up.
