chip stacks

"All chips must be separated by denomination and in full
view. $5 in stacks of 5, $25 in stacks of 4, and $100 in
stacks of 5."

This is a signicant improvement to Rick's chip stack rule.
It would really help us cranky old farts who have trouble counting chip stacks.

That can be a lot of stacks?

At stacks that low there sure would be a lot of stacks. probably a lot of double and triple stacks and anytime multiple stacks are allowed higher value chips can be hidden on the bottom and the middle or back stacks.

This is why I don't care for that small of stacks, to much chance for problems. A TD and players need an unobstructed view for all the players chips. Even if the chips where stacked incorrectly by accident, it would be a heck of a way to lose the table.

I did notice their rules sound a lot like the TBJPA's, hopefully I had some influence in them.

A good rule!

"All chips must be separated by denomination and in full

I'd like to see this implemented in ALL tourneys. People with failing eyesight should not be at a disadvantage!
What Tex says can easily be solved by "coloring up" the chips.

Billy C. I know first hand about failing eyesight, but stacks of 10 are not bad and eliminates the issues I mentioned above.

I do believe that regardless of how many chip per stack they should be uniform. Stacks of 5 or stacks of 10, I don't like different stack sizes for different values.

Chips stacks everywhere, still missed by $10

Yes the chips get a little crowded but even for us middle age guys, I gotta admit it was kind of nice to be able to get a chip count at a glance.
Shuffling only three decks doesn't take that long, so you can scan count and still have plenty of time to make a decision.
If it is any consolation to those with failing eyesight a legally blind gentleman who is a fierce competitor and hilarious to sit next to, took first place last Wednesday.
