20 teams 10 players in team
10 x 20 man comps
running 5 comps at a time
give 5 hours of play for a 20 man comp gives lots of play
points awarded for places knocked out (ends team play on day 1)
team prize awarded
winners of table all get £100
winners and runners up all come back for days 2 (no points for team)
20 player comp nice slow structure and game on 6-8 hours of play on day 2
I'm increasingly thinking this is the way to go and finalising the team element on day one is an interesting new twist.
There will be an added GUKPT seat for the individual tournament winner; in addition to prize money, while the winning Forum will win £1,000, the Forum Championship Cup and the right to call themselves the premier poker playing forum.
All this assumes that
each forum puts in
ONE 10 person team each. If this is an inter-forum challenge then the playing field must be level. If a forum can submit more than one team that gives that forum an unfair advantage in the 'best forum' stakes.
Oh, and while I can see some validity to each 20 person comp winner getting £100...(which is, I assume, the £1000) it's not the same as 'advertsied' above.
To avoid any chip passing, surely 20 x 10 man comps with 1 person per team in each would be better? It also means that there is no table balancing to do (10 x 2 tables...ugh) making things run smoother.
So to sum up....much the same but with some minor alterations.
DAY 120 x 10 man STTs all running at the same time to the same clock
Structure the blind levels to give ample play, say 6 hours.
Points awarded for places knocked out (ends team play on day 1)
FORUM prize of £1000 awarded to FORUM with best points.
DAY 2STT Winnners and runners up all come back
40 player MTT nice slow structure and game on 6-8 hours of play on Day 2 to award individual cash prizes from buy-ins (20 paid, I assume) & GUKPT seat etc.
