Each player will receive 6000 chips for their $30 buyin. You are eliminated from the tourney when you lose all your chips, or chose not to re-buy during the re-buy period. The tourney will not stop, except for short breaks, until one player holds all the chips. That player will be declared the 1st place finisher. The last player eliminated will be the 2nd place finisher, the second last player eliminated will be the 3rd place finisher, etc..
Late players: If you know you're going to be late, please phone and a seat and chips will be set out for you and you will post blinds and fold until you arrive. Players that are late that haven't let me know will give up their seat to the next player on the waiting list. If there's no one left on the waiting list, late players may buy into the tournament during the first level, but must immediately post the big and small blind if the blinds have passed them.
Waiting List players: Players on the waiting list will fill no shows at the start of the tournament to a maximum of 32. The remaining players on the waiting list are alternates. Until the first break, when a player busts out and chooses not to re-buy, you have the option of joining the tournament at that point with a starting chip stack.
The tournament will last approximately 7-8 hours (depending on turnout). A small dinner break will be taken if needed. Seating is limited to 32 players with alternates. (8 max tables) Please reserve your seat in advance!! The final table will form with 9 players left.
Blind schedule is listed below.
As always, tournaments at Bristol Street are rake-free. This tournament will count in the Player of the Year race, and the winner gets an invitation to the Bristol Street 2006 GRAND FINAL. (Dec. 16th)

Because we have a little more time on a Sunday, I thought I'd bump the buy-in up to $30, which translates to 6,000 starting chip on my semi-official $5 = $1,000 chips rule of thumb.
I'm guessing the tournament will end at about level 22, which is roughly 8 hours in. Most people will bust out much earlier than that, of course.
For people that exit early, there's always a cash game or two going, and Wii Bowling/Golf tournaments (or friendly games) may/will also run.
If there's interest, (and if I bust out early), I'd like to try an "Elimination Blackjack" tournament to see how that works. Been playing it online, ands it's a slightly different game from regular Blackjack, but surprisingly not too bad.

Question... is it going to be capped at 4 bets even if the round started heads up? Please say no

Thanks.
Tye
Does that mean your planning on getting lucky?
These are all limit games?
Sandy
Actually I was going for 'genius enough to pick up two games in mere days and destroy far more experienced players' but that was before I tried to read a basic O8 rules and strategy book tonight.. I think my brain is going to explode and I haven't looked up razz yet.
I'm now aiming for lucky and fully prepared to be fleeced quickly.
(I just want to see all those games played played well and am prepared to dish out $30 for a lesson.)
stp
Should be good.
1. Yeah. We'll uncap the betting once it's heads-up.
2. Beginners are always welcome as long as you're ok with a) the entry fee and b) with watching Mark steam when you inevitably hit your 3 outer in
Omaha8 on the river against him.
Is every game limit?
Look forward to having my ass whooped while I learn these games some other time.
Good luck all
(take it down Sandy!)
May I add - that 2pm on a Sunday is quite possibly the best poker schedule I have ever played.
I'll try to get a ride.

It hurts for 3 reasons.
1) I love H.O.R.S.E. I have been pretty successful at it.
2) It may just cost me my points to make it to the Grand Finale.
3) I love Bristol!!!!!
Sadly, I have another comittment that I didn't know I had. Translation: My wife said we were doing something else. And since I am gone most of Saturday with KWLT. I had to agree. AND I was in Montreal all week. So. Damn.
