Played last Tuesday - although the tournament is limited 108 player, we had only 18!
$25 buyin with $20 rebuy. Registration 5PM, play begins at 7PM. 20 hands/round. Chip count with 3 hands to go. Two at each table of 6 advance to next round. I came in 3rd. Repeat the cycle up to 5 times. Then semifinals - believe one from each table advances to final. Normally one wildcard seat at the final table - drawing for that seat at 9:30. Since we had so few players - locals said it's the smallest group they've ever seen - they actually had drawings for 3 wild card seats. Despite 1 in 4 odds I still didn't get into final round.
Payout - % of pool - 7 players at final table - 6 get paid. Lost my rules so this is all I remember
1st - 50%
6th - 1%
Think 2nd was 20% and 3rd was 15% but wouldn't swear to that.
One comment on the actual tournament - One player was in the lead on the final table from hand #1 and everyone bet very conservativley until the last hand and it was anyone's game with max bets. 3 went all in and the dealer got a BJ. I dont think this ever happened before because the tournament director had to confer with the three busted players about how to determine results for 5th and 6th place payouts. The drew cards and high card got 5th, next got 6th and lowest go no payout. Oh yes, BR1 bet $5 and won.
