Flamingo Tourney Format
Mr. Black,
Sorry this took a while to post, I have been traveling. I have played in many of the Flamingo blackjack tourneys, and will be at this one also (Have been fortunate enough to be at the finals table in the last one I played). As you are already signed up, I am sure you know the registration times as well as the prize schedule. Although they may change the format, what they have done consistantly in the past is:
Elimination format
2 advance from first round, 1 advances from subsequent rounds
$5000 in funny money chips bankroll each round
betting limits 100 to 5000
six deck with Flamingo rules
NO COUNT done of players chips during sessions
wild card draws into rounds (can't recall if there was a wc to the finals table or not)
The Flamingo has always adjusted the prize pool down proportionately with a lower than expected number of entrants (I don't recall anytime they have had the expected number of entrants or above).
BTW, the FLA is also holding a VP tourney 02-04 OCT, and a slot tourney 09-11 OCT as long as you are making the trip (I will be at both of those also).
Let me know if you have other questions.
"Roll Tide" (I lived in Mobile for 8 years, leaving in '84 - got a post graduate degree from USA).
