    So $50 from each $100 rebuy goes into the prize pool? Why not just do the add-on at the start of the tournament, not after the first break once the blinds have gone up and the add on is worth a lot less in terms of BB? Not sure I understand why there is two components to the add on? Just make it 10,000 for the donation.

    Do you have a copy of the blind schedule you can post? (sounds like you made minor changes)
  • Details can we found at Lion's Poker. (meet-up site) Files will be posted for download today.
  • Blind schedule seems good...As long as I'm free that day, I will prob attend... thx for the quick response Don :)
  • Actually, there is better(clearer) info on the Lions' website:

    Home ~ Newmarket Lion's Club

    It's unlimited re-buys for the first 2 levels at half price ($100).

    The add-on is after the second round so it's not so bad and u can add-on an extra $8000 ($10k total) for $50, which is half the $5k rebuy for $100.

    50% of all rebuy and add-on money goes to prize pool.

    There is no blind schedule posted anwhere that I could find.

    Overall, it looks pretty decent.
  • Don,

    What are you looking at for security?

    If you get the desired turnout this certainly falls under "high risk" considering its publicized and I think the structure is set up to generate action.

    I would be interested but not if it not secure.
  • We will be adding Security Wetts.
    Through discussions with players we are changing this to a Freeze-out. Details are on the site Lion's Poker. Format will be a Double Barrel Freeze-out.
  • This is a pre-paid event, no money on site.

    How do you prepay a rebuy ?
  • We have added security and will now take buy-in at the door on June 3. The tournament is not a re-buy in case you missed the announcement. It is a double barrel freeze-out. See Lion's Poker for detail.
