Home Game Tournament Structure

I spent some time today working on a better tournament structure for Alan's game. I looked at the Stars turbo format first:

Turbo Structure

1st 50%
2nd 30%
3rd 20%

1500 Starting Chips

1 10/20
2 15/30
3 25/50
4 50/100
5 75/150
6 100/200
7 100/200 Ante 25
8 200/400 Ante 25
9 300/600 Ante 50
10 400/800 Ante 50
11 600/1200 Ante 75
12 800/1600 Ante 75
13 1000/2000 Ante 100
14 1500/3000 Ante 150
15 2000/4000 Ante 200

Then I found this tournament software at www.thetournamentdirector.net that was pretty sweet. It lets you customize everything and displays a very professional looking screen once the tournament starts with the timer, blinds, next blinds, and anything else you want it to. You can even track things like season points and rankings. Pretty neat.

I'm looking forward to the game tomarrow night. I really need to find someone regular to ride with though, both to cut down on gas and to have someone to talk poker with on the trip. Damn, why don't I know more players around here that want to be good! There must be some somewhere!
