Re: I want to help some noobs that will be at my next tournament
My wife and I run couples tourneys a lot. We do a tutorial a half an hour before the cards go live. We don't do a full freezout, but that is a good idea, if you have the time.
I also make sure rebuys are unlimited and generous for the first couple of hours. Usually a buy-in of $20 means a rebuy of $10 with the same number of chips. Once, we let newbies rebuy more than old-hands, but this can get contentious.
We also give first-out prizes (like "Poker for Dummies" which is a pretty decent book), top couple, etc.
