THE $7, 500 POKER770 MONSTER POT – A HORRID TOURNEY FORMAT

Ok, here’s my take on it. For the first two hours, player elimination is virtually non existent, with around 30 players exiting at best. Unfortunately, by the time the rebuy finish period has finished two hours later, very few players have been eliminated. What this means is that players whom do not rebuy chips are at an even bigger disadvantage, because the field size has pretty much stayed the same. The format would be much better if it was a one hour of rebuy (if there has to be one), of course, it would be a lot better if there was no rebuying and just a FREEZEOUT competition. Also, the blinds should be a lot, lot quicker – as the tournament just goes too slow (a lot of time passes with so few eliminations). Finally, the payout format is not constructed in a decent way. The payout usually ends up being in the top 30 only, meaning players who do not rebuy have very little chance of cashing. The pay out should be spread to 60 to 70, and money taken from the top places to spread out more evenly to the other people. What do other people think? I think the current tournament form doesn't work compared to the older $2, 770 format they had befor. I believe improvements should be made.
Views welcome.
