Fallsview poker classic 2011
Travelled to Niagara yesterday and played for a couple of hours.
I find it very hard to get any info out of this place. I tell ya. After talking to several people. BAD BEAT JACKPOT is coming and looks like it is going to start at the beginning of Dec. No one seems to know how much extra they are going to skim off the pots along with the rake or session fees.
I had asked for the BLIND STRUCTURE, STARTING STACKS and Max # of RUNNERS for each of the 3 events and THEY COULD NOT TELL ME.
I have sent an email to Fallsview to see if anyone can send this info to me.
I will keep you all posted.

Tournament Directors Discretion
(2 lazy to reformat)
And as for the # of runners...look at the prize pool and divide by the entry...and you'll have the # for each tourney.
The point I was making is that this is a major tournament and the Info
should be available and posted on the web site.
I asked for # of runners Max Starting chip stacks for all 3 events and blind structures with time.
They sent me a link that only has satty info. Unless I have missed something, NONE of this is posted on Fallsview's web site.
Email this guy and you'll get all the answers....

Bwahahahahahahahahaha . . . sorry, I tried to keep it in. :-X
:bs::bs::bs::bs::bs::bs:
WPT had 230 runners day 1B Sat. Started at noon down to 100 by Midnight.
1/2 hr Blinds with 500 runners starting at 4 should be on level 16 if there is no break. I don't think there is going to be much sleep time unless it's a DONKEY SHOVE FEST. Day 2 will be a long one probably way in the early morning hours to finish.
They may get 500 runners but I don't know about the 2.5 K or the 5K
Satellites running now.
Satellites
Players will commence each tournament with the following amount of tournament chips
1K – $1,500 Tournament Dollars (“TD”)
2.5K – $1,500 TD
5K-A – $1,500 TD
5K-B – $2,000 TD
Blind levels will be fifteen (15) minute intervals
Super Satellites
Players will commence each tournament with the following amount of tournament chips:
$5000 TD
Blind levels will be thirty (30) minute intervals.
Main Events
Players will commence each tournament with the following amount of tournament chips:
$1000 event: 5,000 TD
$2500 event: 10,000 TD

Blind levels will be forty-five (45) minute intervals.
Been on the Phone, A personal Visit and emails and could not get a straight answer out of anyone.

Time constraints. This is the real world we live in.
The problem is that with a full tourney in the $1000* buyin their could be 2.5 million chips in play with a 10k 20k blind at level 24. There's still lots of play left at this point ... they'd have to crank up the blinds pretty quickly to make any difference. it gets worse(better?) with the higher buyins.
*the $2500 tourney would have 5 million and the 5000 would have 7.5 million.
take the "Prizing" and divide by the buyin*= total entries.
*minus the rake I guess.
many tourneys pay out top 10%.
For ex...
Stars $500 tourney payout assuming 500 runners
1st 19%
2nd 14%
3rd 10%
.

50th .5%
I can see something happening like cutting the blinds in midflight to get it over. After they have realized that there are too many chips in play for the time frame.
This should PISS OFF enough players who will say F%*k It and never come back.
Sadly, I can see this happening all too easily, based on prior trip reports. This is the world they live in, apparently.
Usually this means when they say we are playing x amount of levels for day 1, you could end up playing more or less levels on day 1 cause they want to get to a certain number of players left in the day. (usually end up playing more levels)
Pretty sure you couldn't be snottier. It's not hard to have a good idea of how long a tournament will take, within a level or 2 at the most.
The way things are worded, it seems a lot more than that is up to discretion. If it was something as trivial as the number of levels played in a day, I wouldn't be concerned. It's when blind amounts and time of a level and things of that nature are made up on the go that there's problems.
