How to create a better live bankroll tournament.
The major live bankroll tournaments have a common flaw. They all boil down to the final race, It would be better if you could write the rules to promote more balanced play. You would make the tournaments better tests, more exciting, and increase handle.
Here's how you do it: you take some of the prize money and redirect it to "Leader Awards" that accrue immediately to bankroll. The major tourneys are all pretty much two day affairs, so; you would award the day one leader a bonus and then on day two you would pay out bonuses at certain intervals throughout the day. Just by doing this you would incentivise players to get involved in bigger ways earlier in the contest. It's not just that there is prize money to be won along the way, but a loose leader can accumulate bankroll that can make him much harder to catch. If you instituted leader awards you could also do away with most of the mandatory wagering rules. I would replace those rules with one that only required players to bet their entire starting bankroll by the penultimate race. It would simply the rules and create a double flourish at the end. Do these things and you would create a more satisfying paradigm while seeing handle and excitement zoom..
