(1)So all of the Regional Championship events will have the same structure as the one at Rincon?
(2) You've got a great structure (Rincon Event 38, except see below), why not now allocate the number of days required -- five -- to provide at least 12 hours between the last hand of a day and the first hand of the next, at least for the first three (of five) days?
As it stands, assuming 15 minute breaks except for a 75-minute dinner break, and no slippage, Day 1 is 14:05 long and Day 2 is 13:10 long. The chance that I'm going to fade that to travel to a destination delight such as Hammond is vanishingly small, and to the other three just small.
(3) Level / ante / SB / BB / ante as % of SB
12 / 100 / 500 / 1000 / 20%
23 / 2000 / 5000 / 10000 / 40%
30 / 10000 / 25000 / 50000 / 40%
...and...
15 / 200 / 800 / 1600 / 25%
25 / 3000 / 8000 / 16000 / 37.5%
...and...
13 / 100 / 600 / 1200 / 16.7%
24 / 2000 / 6000 / 12000 / 33.3%
I think antes should be fairly consistent as a proportion of the blinds, i.e., within a range of 16.7% to 33.3% of the small blind and the same percentage where one level is 10x another.
