Flush
I'm starting a home tournament and am trying to figure out how to manage the blinding in rules when players aren't there at the tournament start. There's two different situations that can arise and it seems like they should be dealt with separately or maybe not?
The first is the player that is committed but just plain late. The second is the person that is committed but found out ahead of time (and called me) that he is being held over for work (or another good excuse) and has noted that he might not be there in time for the start and if he's late enough, might not be there at all.
My original solution was to put everyone's stacks at the table and blind them out from the beginning....no exceptions. But neither of these players have showed up and paid yet.

- Do I place their stack at the table no matter what in both situations?
- Are these two separate situations?
- Do I select a level at where the the blinding in starts or blind in from the beginning?
