well, as registration has opened for TAM 9, it's probably a good time to think about organizing this year's poker tournament.

The overall schedule can be found here:

As with last year, the best time seems to be Thursday, just before the reception. Maybe starting at 5:00pm. That gives us 2.5 hours before the reception, so most players will be done with lots of time to spare to attend the reception.

I could also be convinced that Saturday night, starting at 7:00pm, could work.


Any other opinions?
 
I'll make my Official TAM Poker Tournament Annual Joke:

"Poker? I hardly know her!"


Please tip your waiter. And try the veal.
 
In.

Other Poker Joke (tm): Poker up front. Liquor in the rear.

I'm PMed the people who signed up last year to let them know we're discussing this year.
 
My only worry is that some people may not arrive until Thursday night or sometime Friday... I'd prefer Saturday night. But since there are events happening that night, I understand if you all want something else.

Well, conflicts are always a problem with TAM, there's just too much to do! So we'll see what fits best for the most people.


We could also consider having two tournaments - would anyone be up for one Sunday afternoon? I'm there until Monday evening, myself, and wouldn't say no to another go round.
 
We had a fairly good turnout last year on Thursday and I don't want to miss the show Saturday night.

The tournament went pretty long last year, I got a sense the dealer was pretty frustrated and they ended up convincing us to split the pot after heads up went a little long. I guess thats a "problem" with us rationally minded people, we tend to play pretty conservatively!

Also, is it possible to limit the game to only TAM attendees (and maybe their travelling companions)? There were a few locals in the tournament last year. They were nice enough guys, but they did play pretty aggressively and the game didn't feel as friendly at times.

Well, we could limit it, but the casino likes to fill the tables, so the best way is to get a lot of the TAM people to sign up.
