Each player will receive 5000 chips for their $20 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 5-6 hours (depending on turnout). 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 2010 GRAND FINAL.

(note: In order to play with a min 25 value chip. I'm eliminating the ante for the first Razz and first Stud game. Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, improvements for the way the schedule is set up. Thanks!!
I'm also with the likely turnout, (less than for Hold'em, this may be a very aggressive schedule. Thoughts?)
)
Suggestion: rotate the game every 8 hands which gives you a much more equal # of hands per game type. You could also get the dealer to post the antes for the table in the first level of stud/razz, say 50 or 75.
For the first rounds of Razz and Stud I would much rather see the ante be a little high (25 each) than be 0. If you make the ante 0 then there is nothing to play for other than the bring-in. A 25 ante per hand would not kill everyone, but would also create initial pots worth playing for.
Sign me up please.
There's a better way?? Wish I could join in, been AGES since I played HORSE. Hopefully next time I can get out your way and play.
Maybe a burger??
stp
I would hope so, being the defending champion of the last HORSE event at Bristol Street. (which I believe was in 2007!)
The list has been updated, currently sitting at 16 players.
For the initial stud/razz round, I've been thinking on it and have come up with the following for rounds 3/4.
For those rounds, an ante of "25" will be posted by every other player, starting with the small blind. This puts the correct total of "100" chips worth of ante's in play, but not having one player be responsible for the total value of antes.
Hopefully not too confusing, but I agree with Al and Moose that you want something in the pot to make it worth playing for, and I'd rather not break out "5" chips for an evening Horse event.
Thanks all!!
