Idea for large buy-in event, just to guage interest
I am simply posting this to see if there is any interest in an event of this size. It would span 2-3 days and have a structure similar to the WSOP, with a prize pool large enough for the winner to get a seat in 2006 or 2007, depending on when it is run.
The main event buy-in would be $1,000
On day 1, we would start at noon with T10,000
Every time that the button passes the dealers spot (every rotation) the games would change between Limit Hold-em, 7 card stud, and Omaha
The blinds would go up every 45 minutes.
Limit structure for the first day would be
stakes end time of level
25/50 12:45
50/100 1:30 15 minute break
75/150 2:30
100/200 3:15 15 minute break
150/300 4:15
200/400 5:00 30 minute dinner break
250/500 6:15
300/600 7:00 15 minute break
400/800 8:00
500/1000 8:45 15 minute break
600/1200 9:45
700/1400 10:30 done for the day (with time to spare to hit the bar)
for those unfamiliar with the term "stakes" the small bet is the first number, and the big bet is the second number. the small blind is somewhere around half a small bet, although some fine tuning would be necesarry for the odd numbers (such as 25 and 75)
Day 2 would switch over to No Limit Hold-em, starting again at 12:00 noon
Blinds structure for day 2
Blinds ante end time of level
500/1000 100 12:45
600/1200 100 1:30 15 minute break
700/1400 200 2:30
900/1800 200 3:15 15 minute break
1000/2000 300 4:15
1200/2400 400 5:00 30 minute dinner break
1500/3000 400 6:15
1700/3400 500 7:00 15 minute break
2000/4000 500 8:00
2500/5000 500 8:45 15 minute break
3000/6000 500 9:45
5000/10K 1000 10:30 15 minute break
7500/15K 1000 11:30
10K/20K 1000 12:15 stop for the day here and go to day 3 if nesecary
There would have to be a multitude of satellites run to such a high buy-in event, quite obviously
I would expect to run satellites for about 1-2 mionths before
there could be:
$10 multi table and one table 10 man to a $100 qualifier 1 in 10 get into the qualifier
$20 multi table and sinlge table to a $200 Qualifier 1 in 10 get into the qualifier
$25 multi table to a $150 qualifier 1 in 6 get into the qualifier
Qualifiers:
$100
1 in 10 get in
$150
1 in 6 get in
$200
1 in 5 get in
there would certainly be overflow money from the qualifiers, which would be awarded to the person finishing directly behind the qualifiers
If anyone has any suggestions, questions, or comments, please post them, and maybe we can make this happen.
If $1,000 is too much, I have an Idea for a $250 and a $500 event too. (same main event, different qualifiers)

Comments
If any police try to tell me it is illegal, I will suggest they go back to study the rulebook.
I'll get on that later.
