The other night we were talking about some format changes that might improve the game for next year. I'll put them up here for people to think about and comment on. If for nothing else it might lead to good conversation tomorrow night
1) Give everyone a set number ( I think it was in the nieghborhood of 5) "Extra" buy ins you can use anytime throughout the year. They come at a higher points price but can be used after your final rebuy for the night.
2) Change the blind structure. The way it is now, you start the night with 10 big blinds which means after one mediocre hand with a couple of calls, your stack is crippled. I a real tournament you start with approximately 100 BB's. A couple ideas tossed around to fix this where:
a) lower the blinds back to $.10. The max rebuys may have been a better solution to wild play then higher blinds.
b) leave the blinds as is, but buy-in for your max $26 right from the begining with no rebuys.
c) change to a "tournament chip" type of buy-in where your $5 gives you 10k chips or something along those lines. We'd have to have a formula for cashing out at the end of the night.
3) I thought there was more, but now I can't remember.
