Question for those who attend West Side Poker Events
We had a lot of great comments with the format this past weekend at our 3rd anniversary tournament with the 45 minutes blinds. well people like the 10,000 chips to start the tournaments, we are finding it difficult to have the perfect setup
Here is a poll for our next tournament.
1) 10,000 chips and the same blinds as last weekend
2) 5,000 chips and 45 minute and West Side normal blind structure
you can view the normal blinds at westsidepokerclub.ca

Loved it.
I liked getting rid of the unnecessary antes (25-50-75)...
but I still found that the beginning stages were TOO fast. WSP dropped something like 4 of the first ten levels.. and it was beginning to feel a bit too aggressive particularly when juxtaposed against the strong, fair, tournament it used to be.
Maybe an option C?
you re-instate most or all of the lower blind levels dropped (without the hassle of baby antes) and then do something like option B. (dream: hopefully WITH the 10k stack)
Westside tournaments seem to finish at a reasonable hour and I even recall you capping the blinds early at a FT a couple months back. There doesn't seem to be a great reason for speeding the tourney up further?
And Kristy's point about the baby antes is spot on too.
This way it gives a lot of play to start and even if the blinds are moved to 20 minutes later, the stacks are big enough to allow for some good poker to be played. This is just my opinion anyways! If I had to choose between the two available options, I would choose option 2.
