Re: How to introduce new chip colors in tournament
[ QUOTE ]
Color race at certain intervals is your best best. Goto www.homepokertourney.com good resource [/ QUOTE ] Thanks. I've read most of the Home Poker Tourny site - great stuff - but I didn't see anything there about the mechanics of getting new chips into play. I don't see how racing the smallest chips will introduce a new biggest size chip. Aren't you always racing from smallest to next-smallest ($1 to $5 or $25 to $100)? If you start with 1s, 5s, 25s, & 100s do you just race off until everyone has 100s and then race up to 500s or 1000s later? Clearly in a huge (WSOP) tourney this wouldn't work and isn't what's done. -- Scott

Re: How to introduce new chip colors in tournament
The color-up is done to remove chips smaller than the smallest denomination currently being used. Unless you are hosting a very large game, I doubt you will need to remove the 100's.

[/ QUOTE ] Racing is good and should be done.... Also - sometimes we'll take a timeout between levels and just "exchange" in larger chips all at once - if we're becoming fairly deep-stacked and want to introduce the 1000 or 5000 chip or something... I think doing it as you go on the fly is just ASKING for trouble. You gotta be so friggin' careful with races and exchanges - 'cuz it'd suck if you lost a tourney solely 'cuz some guy 'somehow' ended up on the better end of a mistake.
