Loved that tournament.....knew it was doomed though.
Some thoughts:
1) Whatever you replace it with make sure there is room in the schedule for the 10:00pm players (The triple chance pays less than $200 and is not playable). Players starting at 10:00 couldn't get into the double chance. This is a contributing factor to why this thing couldn't get over 55 players.
2) Put a a cap on max field size (your not getting many players anyway)...How bout 9:00 $75 45-man max (3k Guarentee), 10:00 $30 45 man max (1200GTD) 11:00 $20 90 man KO Turbo $1600 GTD w $5 bounties minimum (the kind of tourney people would stay up for). Get rid of the triple chance and double chance and you'll be replacing the 6k in guarantee with $5800 in GTD money.
3) Promote your tournaments. The Double chance should of been a Marquee NJ tournament. Instead no one regged, most people only bought in for one bullet. Add some prestige to these tournies and take the time to make sure people know about them.
US players used to love the 45 man and 90 man sit-n-gos. This makes total sense to me and is win for everyone. You have to pay 6 or 7 spots only though and make sure 1-3 get a good score.
I have more ideas if you don't like this one. (for example, Just make the 9:00 a $50 5k again, but add a $5-$10 bounty, bring back the 2hr late reg and boom problem solved).
Whatever you choose....please don't make it suck
