i also meant to say, i am not affiliated with this tournament, i just said i'd advertise it here for a friend.

also any suggestions about the tournament are welcome. (structure, buy-in, chip stacks)

I think that when a tournament is run as a fundraiser then abviously less monney will be given out in the prizepool but it wouldn't encourage me to go when I see things such as '50-70 depending' and 'it depends' in the description. I know it may be hard to gauge until the numbers are official but I think something like:

50% given out if less than 50 players
60% if between 50-70
70% if more than 70

etc etc would be better.

Also I must clarify that I am not going to this anyhow, even if it was 100% payout. I am just offering suggestions. Hope it goes well for them anyways.

One other thing I would say is that I think the full amount taken in and payout should be announced after the rebuy period ends. Not necessarily the prize distribution, but this way it will be transparent and everyone will know how much is going to the fundraisers.

Mr. Flibble

Who's organising it? Just curious - I played with them for a few years, wonder if the same players are about.
