Tournament of Champions Blind Structure

Tournament of Champions Canadian Poker Tour
December 9th - 11th 2008
Blind & Ante Structure

The initial buy-in for the tournament is $2000+ $100, which gets the player 10000 in tournament chips. This is a Freeze out Tournament. Each round shall be 30 minutes in length. Tournament Director will set the limits after level 16 and reserves the right to either reduce the blinds or increase the time of each round once the money positions are reached.

Patron registration opens at 8:30am to sign in, and the cards will be in the air promptly at 10:00am. At 10:20am we will be calling the players from the stand by list to fill any empty seats. These start times are for both days.

The tournament format is 110 players play each day. On day one when the tournament gets down to the final table (10 players) we will end the tournament for day one. All players from the final table will be asked to return on day two. At this point they will be informed as to what time they are required to be at the casino for the draw for their seat. We will then record each player’s name and chip totals so that when they return on day two they will start with the same amount of chips they finished up with on day one.

Day two will start with the second group of 110 players and will play down until we get to the final table (10 players). At this point we will take an intermission and we will once again record each players name and chip totals. The players from day one and day two final tables will be asked to draw for seat and table allocation. This will make up the two final tables that will play for the grand prize. Prizes will be awarded to the top twenty players in the overall tournament. The first place winner will receive the grand prize and a 14k gold bracelet plus extra prizes to be announced on the day of the tournament.
