Small Tournament Structure

[Foolscap]

We just used this structure last night, had to find something that would fit a small 6-8 person tournament. It worked pretty well, with the tourny lasting just about 2.5 hours. For the chips, I have a 500 count 5 color clay set.

$5 Entry, $5 re-buy first hour if chips below $500, $5 add-on at break gets you $500 more.

Starting Chips - $500 (15x$5, 9x$25, 2X$50, 1x$100)

Level increase every 20 min

Level - Sb/BB - Ante
