The higher vig is because the tournaments take a long time to play (you get more chips, longer levels etc). If there was a demand for a lower vig shorter tournament I am pretty sure it would be spread.

That's a good point, but I probably used a bad example. That was for a 9pm tourney last Wednesday that only had fifteen minute blinds. They only allow so many rounds before they cut it off (eight maybe?) and award first place to the person with the most chips. Doh! I didn't realize it was a turbo format, but it worked out okay. If I remember right, the starting chip amount was $9,000.

I will have to check and see if the breakdown is the same for the 7pm Sunday night one. It usually has 4-8 tables and 20-minute rounds.

The niner is a bad example. It is a speed tournament. It starts at 9 you get 9k in chips and play for 9 levels.

edit: For full disclosure I do have some input into the Gilpin structures and would be interested in hearing if people are interested in different structures.

RR, I for one would LOVE to see some events where we have longer blinds raise, and where you add in Antes into the mix.

You'll get the same results time wise (or at least it should) in regards to how long the events last, and it will give the locals practice on how to play with Antes.

Also, for the Record, I think the Gilpin has the best Tournaments in the Area, and I had suggested a number of times that you guys try to pull in the HPT, but was told they would never come to the Area, because the Gilpin felt that the HPT would think we were to small fry for them to come.

So, I guess the Golden Gates must of been more willing to take the chance.

I do love all the events you guys run, they are awsome, and not to run down the Golden Gates, but I wish you guys had been the ones to get the HPT there.
