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 (20 minutes), 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. During the first four levels, when a player busts out, you have the option of joining the tournament at that point with a starting chip stack.
The tournament will last approximately 5-6 hours. Seating is limited to 32 players with alternates. (8 max tables) Please reserve your seat in advance!!
Blind schedule, chip values, rules, etc, etc, will be posted at my place, or you may msg me for specifics.
As always, tournaments at Bristol Street are rake-free

I've asked a lot of you about preference for formats and waiting list policies and I've heard vastly different opinions on how the tourney's should be run. So, this year, we're going to mix in freeze-outs with the re-buys, and continue making tweaks depending on what works and what doesn't work.
BSC 22 is a *freeze-out event* (no rebuys) and I'm going to try using alternates for the first event, but I'm working on ways to increase the number that can compete at once, so that this eventually becomes a moot point. My number one priority for these events is for everyone to have fun, which is why I'm going with the alternate system, to let as many people play as possible. I started these things to have a fun evening of casual low-buyin poker and I think using an alternate system fits best in the spirit of that. If the alternate plan is really disliked, we'll scrap it after this event.
I'm looking forward to a really fun season. Let the games begin!!!

Thanks
Brad
And one more thing I feel I need to bring up for my own ego alone
Cmon guys, have we already forgotten? Your victories mean nothing.
<spinning the BSC logo on my belt>

I see everyone's finding their "Reserve List tolkens"; I'll be making some up for each event I throw.. now I have the backlog to go through and come up with differed 'tokens'; Merry Xmas Maddess, Jour de Poker, Stud Series, etc, etc.

Without knowing the date, it doesn't seem like an effective policy and I'm worried that the waiting list will just fill up with people not intending to go to the tournament that they've joined a waiting list for.
All that said, I'll definately keep in the mind the players that end up on the waiting list and I'll try to make some special arrangements. My number one priority is fun and I want to make sure that no one's feeling slighted. You guys are a great group, respectful of my place and are a blast to play against.
I'm also very willing to take suggestions on how to up capacity within the limitations of my home.. For example, would it get insanely crowed if we went to 9 max tables? Should I get off my ass and clean the garage so that I can get two more tables in there? Should the tournamnets be split into a Day1A and 1B to accomidate more people?
I like the idea of the garage, with 20 people in there, it should heat it up! But then time constraints becomes somewhat of a challenge doesn't it? Considering you were trying to find a way to ensure it's done by 1:00, and also that nobody wants to blind levels MORE suffocating by shortening the time, how would this be accomplished?
Mark
hehe....why not have a reverse tournament to clean the garage out, first person out starts cleaning but wins the first place money, next person joins when they are out and wins second place money...and so on...by the time we have a winner, the garage should be pretty much done so the winner would not have to get their hands dirty, so to speak, and the people who spent the most time cleaning it out in a sense would get paid to clean it out?
The question is do you really want to bust out first for the cash and spend the day cleaning Zithal's garage (I have not seen the inside of Rob's garage so I don't know if this is a chore but if it's anything like mine was I'd be scared to go in alone.) or do you want to keep your hands clean?
Please add me to the waiting list.
BigE: Great idea about cleaning the garage! I'd be the first to shove'em in, gettng cleaning and take the money!! Actually, Id help for say, an extra 50% of starting chips for the next BSC and/or a couple of Robs fancy beers.
Seriously, anyone who has played at BSNC should help. Rob has been very good to us regulars, and its the least we could do.
See you all on Wednesday.
JohnnieH
I'd be more than willing to help out if there is a date set...my only request is I am assured a seat at the following BSC
Brad
Rob likes good beer, I would definitely clean for some of that!!!!
Points this year will be done using the same scale as the Lucky Lou Tour, except everyone that shows gets points. I think there's a thread around here that details a sample for a 32 person tournament. I like it has it has better rewards for going deeper and doesn't suffer from the "1st/24 = 9th/32" problem.
Steve S.
That's because that is where the bodies of the players who objected to Rob's rulings are stored.
Probably be a f'king waiting list form for cleaning Zithal's garage...
Dave "Ineedanick" P. can't make it tomorrow... one lucky guy or gal is now in the game!
