Impromptu 10 ball Chip tournament! (** Must have at least 20 players for me to run this)
We are happy that we are about to be grandparents of a baby girl.. so what better way to celebrate then to have a tourney that everyone can have some fun doing what we love!!! (That’s means playing pool.. your dirty mind😂😂)
I have never done a chip tourney before but I am going to try this.
As per my other tourneys, I want to bring games that we don’t get locally and have competitive FUN!!!
Here is how the game will be played...
Every participant will get a set amount of chips.
(See Fargo conversion table below -scroll all the way down)
325 and below - 8 chips
326 - 425 - 6 chips
426 - 525 - 5 chips
526 and above - 4 chips
There will be a randomized drawing to start the games. You will just play 1 match each time.
If you win, you collect the chip from your opponent and stay at the table to play the next opponent in line.
If you lose, you give a chip to the opponent and you report back to the TD.
When you lose all of your chips, then you are out of the tourney.
Mid tourney (when there are the same number of players as the table (meaning all winners left), we will redraw players match up and we will reset the chips (details to follow)
$50 entry fee (20% goes to TD and that includes green fee)
I will pay top 10% of the players. That means.. if we have between 20 - 29 players, 2 winners. Beteen 30 - 39 players, 3 winners etc etc..
** correction. No calcutta, just a side pot of $20 if you want to join.
