Ok. We finally developed a system for the raising of blinds. Mainly to be used in the case of long games.
After one hour of continuous game play, everyone will move up to a higher level.
(We start with blinds of 12.50 and 25, after one hour they go up to 25/50.)
After that hour, one of two things can happen.
If there are SIX or more people remaining, we wait one hour to move up again.
(Meaning that after another hour, we move from 25/50 up to 50/100.)
If there are LESS than six people remaining, we will move up in time based on how many people remain. 10 minutes for every person.
(So if 3 people are left, the blinds will go from 25/50 to 50/100 in HALF an hour.)
50/100 is the highest level of blinds they have for the ring games, so that will have to be where it ends regardless of how many people are there.
Also, for right now this is a test. We may choose later to move the whole system down by one. Meaning we'd start with even lower blinds. Whatever one level down is.
We think this'll prevent games from going on hours after hours.
This will begin to be implimented in tomorrow nights game.
When we are ready to move the blinds, the table host will instruct everyone to sit out. At that time, DO NOT MOVE, he will write down everyones current chip stack. He will then create a new table. Leave the current one, and go to the other one, sit down, and wait for the table host to tell you exactly how much to put in. We will then have another 3, 2, 1 countdown, and we continue the game.
Let's test this out and hope it works!
(This has now also been added to the rules for future refference.)
