Message: [QUOTE="Crummy, post: 916115, member: 18201"] [COLOR=black]I'll give you my take on a home tourney. However, first I will ask a few questions......[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]How many people usually show up? Are they regulars? How often do you hold them? What is your buy-in?[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]The reason why I ask all of these questions is to get a better understanding on your structure. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Back in my home town I am part of a "League" that has the best setup I have ever been apart of. We are a "invite" only game. The reason we do "invite" only is because we don't want somebody coming in, getting pissed off and causing trouble. We have a game every other week and the buy in is $25 w/ unlimited re-buys for the first hour (until the first break) you can buy in for double the chips for $50. We use the WSOP blind structure and start out with 1500 in chips. Usually we only pay the top three places, while there are always at least 2-3 full tables. We keep a points structure. Our points structure is based off of the amount of players and what position you get knocked out in (so if there are 20 players and you get first place, you get 20 points, I'm sure this is how it works :) I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'm 99% sure). The points are important because we have a "Championship" at the end of the year that is only for the top so many (top 6 I believe). The winner of each event gets a trophy (usually a nice small trophy, nothing big, except for the championship event). We also throw in small bounties on the first three people knocked out at the final table (if the event is big enough). We also have a "best hand of the night jackpot". We also have drinks and thing, but we keep a lockbox with a money slot in it so people can pay for their drinks and help pay for the provided food and to help put money into the mix for cards, ect…(we have custom made cards and use a new set every game, we also have custom tables with the leagues logo).[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]We also have one big buy-in every year. It is a $500 buy-in event. We also run satellites for this event various times. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]We are very organized and I believe that is important if you are going to be serious about home games that are ongoing. We have a board and rules if that tells you how serious the structure is. I’m not saying you should go that far, but if you make it an “event” people will love to get involved and will keep coming back. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
