hes not worried about the cost, hes worried about them taking chips off the table and screwing up the tourney

if this is the only problem we could just have the match use 320bb instead of 300 right?

Well really the rake depends on how long the match takes which is impossible to predict. I think the UB play money tables will be satisfactory. What do other people think? Should other structures be allowed?

instead of deep stacked which is hard to set up, why not do best 2 out of 3 with 100bb stacks. Its much easier to set up and it still eliminates some of the variance.

Not that it would be a big deal, but rake could affect different styles differently to the point where it would give a certain style a minute advantage.

It's just so much easier keeping track and what not when there is no rake.

I definitely think this is a better structure.

i didnt mean to start a debate about the structure at this point. i took another look at the ub play money tables and there were a few open this time. i just didnt want to end up spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to get on a table. is there any easy way to get more play money chips? does anyone have a ton of these to transfer?

would it be too much to ask for for these ppl to post that they are going to be playing and where like 1/2hr-hr ahead of time?

Here's a better way to do it. No rebuy until you go bust w/100 BBs. The winner of those 100BBs then keeps the 200BBs and the other guy buys in for another 100, and they play until somebody has all of the BBs. That way the loser of his stack can climb up to 150BBs, double up, and win.
I think this would allow for deepstack play if the guy makes a comeback while being no more difficult to set up than 2/3.

I think you need to clarify this a bit.
