Blackjack Tournament - Quechan Casino

Tournament will be single advance, all tables, all rounds.  
Bankroll is $200, with $5 min bet and no max bet.  No 
button, all play starts with 1st base and goes around, no 
betting order except on final hand.  15 hands total each 
table.  This is at the Quechan Resort (Q-Resort) at the Los 
Algodones Exit off of I-8 about 10 miles west of Yuma.  
Play starts at 6:00 PM Arizona time.  This is 5:00 
California time.  Register at Q-Resort starting the Monday 
before the tournament.  This is the first one they have 
held at this location, but will be like the ones held 
previously at Paradise Casinos. This is the first 
tournament they have held in over a year (previously held 
at Paradise Casinos).  In past entries have varied greatly, 
from a low of less than 40 in the summers, to well over 100 
in the winter months (record attendence is 148 players). 
Difference is the 100,000 snow birds that descend on Yuma 
in the winter.  They are holding this on a Wednesday, which 
is also the day that Seniors get $10 free play on, so they 
are targeting the snow birds, and should get a good turn 
out.  The tournaments at Paradise were not well run; no 
button, no order to betting except on final hand, play 
always starts from 1st base, final hand as well; tournament 
not well policed, some players holding/hiding chips (minor 
problem), players trying to change bets, players holding 
out and not betting until everyone else has bet, etc. - 
dealers not familiar with tournament rules or not enforcing 
them, some times dealers hassle about slow play, sometimes 
they let a player take forever, even at same table.  
Hopefully, they will run tournaments at Q-Resort better, 
but, I somehow doubt it.

Probably similar to, same as, tournaments held previously 
at Paradise Casinos.  This is the first one in over a year, 
and first at Q-Resort.  When tournaments were held at 
Paradise, 1st paid 50% of prize pool.  Then downwards from 
there.  Six or seven persons at final table, depending on 
entries.  Lots of opportunities for rebuys, possibly some 
wild cards to final table, depending on entries. They have 
always paid off the announced prize pool, regardless of 
entries.
