Yet another tournament structure post

[Precept2]

I have a couple of suggestions.

1. I would get rid of the first round 25/50.
2. Also, you don't want that many chips on the table. Go with 12 Green (25), 12 Black (100), 7 Purple (500) and 5 Yellow (1000).

Everyone will start with 10 fewer chips. For 16 people, that pulls 160 chips off the table. Trust me.

Good Luck.
