Waiting List
Hi all. Been browsing and admiring for years but not posted yet. As title suggests I would like some advice on the payout structure for a mystery bounty tournament![Unsure :unsure: :unsure:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
UK based, we play a weekly friendly pub game with a mix of noobs and experienced players who would like to play a mystery bounty. We play a standard single KO bounty and the players LOVE IT!
The problem we have is the average turnout is low (but growing), with anywhere from between 14-20 players and the buy in is a mere £10+£10 with equal split between prize pool and bounties. It's a fun social night, not massively competitve. Similar to RedTooth Poker for those that know ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
My current plan: at the start put the prizes into envelopes away from sight and then assign a prize at random to each number for every player in play. Players pick a random number from the list and get handed that envelope when exchanging bounty chip. They do not get to see the envelopes to try and guess the prize.
Rules:
- Players cannot let others know their prize until the end.
- Players can choose whenever to exchange their bounty.
- Tournament organiser who will also be playing and knows the prizes, can only get the remaining bounties leftover (or a player chooses for them if they need to leave early).
We average 16 players, £160 so this is roughly what I was thinking:
1= £40
2= £30
3= £25
4= £20
5= £20
6= £15
7= £1 Scratchcard
8= £1 Scratchcard
9= £1 Scratchcard
10= £1 Scratchcard
11= £1 Scratchcard
12= £1 Scratchcard
13= £1 Scratchcard
14= £1 Scratchcard
15= £1 Scratchcard
16= £1 Scratchcard
We are a very humble group and winning £50+ is a big poker win for many new players in the group. Whilst it pales into comparison with some of the games posted here, we still want to make it work
Any advice on improvements?
