Playing scared...

That's not correct Walter. In chip pool tournaments, everybody gets 5 chips. All matches are a race to 1. When you lose, you turn your chip in the to TD, not to your opponent. Whoever ends up with one chip left wins. Sometimes handicaps are given to stronger players by giving them only 3 or 4 chips. IMO this is a great way to compete, as anyone can win a race to one! I brought this concept to MT 20 years ago (after seeing it played in NM and OH), and sometimes had as many as 80 players in the event (played on 8 tables). Everybody gets to play a ton of pool for their small entry fee ($10). I paid 50% of the field, so it was very popular. :thumbup:

He said it is a chip tourney. Everybody gets tokens. You play a game and if you win, you get the losers token. Each player plays somebody different next game and the cycle repeats until one player has all the chips.

From the hosts point, i can see that it should gl that way.

From the players view...i have had a pocketful of chips more than one in my life. (And not from a casino, sadly).
