Directors need to speak up

I speak with my format, "more swiss"

But I do run an "Unlucky Dice Last Chance" for those eliminated on Saturday (0-4 or 1-4). I take $540 out of the main prize pool and $60 out of my rake ($600 total). The reason I created this no-ABT-point free roll was to give people something to do before the JP's start on Sunday. With the Giants Invitational and the WBTOC the Chicago Open attracts a lot of international players; with that in mind I thought it was a nice little gimmick for those that may have traveled around the globe and had "unlucky dice". My tournament also goes till Monday so this LC is not even run on the last day of the tournament. It has been very well received.

As for most ABT events that run just Fri-Sun I think it is time to abolish the LC. It seems to create more problems than it is worth. I would prefer either a true double elimination format or just a main flight and progressive conso. With the true double elimination you could pay 5 people in a smaller event or 7 or 9 depending on the size of the event. With the Main flight and progressive conso you could pay 2 in the main and 2 or 4 in the conso (for small events) or 4 in the main and 4 in the conso for larger events.

Brackets...are my biggest pet peave. They seem to be wrong more often than they are right. ATTN USBGF: Please fix this!!! I am happy to be on a committee if you need a volunteer. Please create all the brackets needed for tournaments and make them available on USBGF.org.

Sorry if there are improper grammar usages or if my post just reads shittily. I am on very little sleep and have been working far too much!
