How many people do you expect?
Prize Money is guaranteed at $1K.
Now the last time we had approximately 30 players and the final table participants decided to split the prize money 1st-$700/2nd-$200/3rd-$100. We are hoping for a larger turnout this time around but it is difficult to predict especially in the summer months.
I am not sure how many players we will have this time but the more players we get the more prize money we can offer to players that place at the final table.
This is a fundraising event for our soccer team.
The reason I'm asking is 30 people pay $60, so $1800 just from entries. Add rebuys and topups, I'm guessing another $400 to $500 depending on the crowd. If you're paying out <50% of total monies, at a 70/20/10 split, it doesn't make this a high interest tournament, but that's my opinion. I'm sure you get three or four tables regularily, and I haven't seen the blind format so I can't comment on how 'bingo-y' it would be, but I'm thinking the prize pool breakdown is abit too heavily weighted to make this of much interest to many of the regulars here.
The prize pool breakdown can be decided by the final table players, if there is now concensus then it remains $1000 to the winner. Please note that the $60 also includes a buffet dinner that must be paid for somehow so it is not the entire $60 that goes towards the pool plus due to the nature of the event there are also door prizes and giveaways all night.
