How can I run these Texas Holdem Tournaments?

Question

I want to have a "mini" World Series of Poker

15 people
15 tournaments
with a point system

If the 15 players are represented by these letters:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O

How do I evenly distribute the above players into 15 tournaments in a fair manner...meaning everyone plays everyone the same amount of time.

If you can please list each each tourney with its respective tourney:

Tourney # 1: A B C D E F G H I J

I need 14 more. Your help is appreciated

Thank you

Answer 1

I don't know what you mean by ''the same amount of time''. I hold a weekly tournament at my place, but i have never ran a whole series of events. But if i was going to do it i would have a lot less events like 7 or 8, 15 is too many. I would have a buy-in for each event and have an added charge(this money would go to the winner of the points title) to make up your points winner at the end, then assign a certain number of points per event, like top five get so many points, then at the end of your series of events the one with the most points would get the money. In a tournament you don't play the same number of hours, its always the last man standing, you play till someone has all the chips. If you want some info on home poker games then go to this site www. homepokertournys.com or homepokergame.com they have timers and tips on how to run your game. good luck.

I presume you want to play it ten per table? Why not have two tables, eight and seven?

I have a whole section on considerations for home tourneys and cash games at the Church of Texas Holdem. Have a look, it might be useful.

Please keep your tournament out of social lounge one. I play there and I hate it when people run tournaments. And so does everyone else there.
