Bob,

I contacted out Poker Tournament coordinator and requested the information to answer your questions. The information you requested is listed below.

$5000 in chips to start

rebuy is $30 for $5000 in chips
$50 for $10000 in chips (you did not request this, but he gave me the information to post)

initial blinds are 1 and 200 and increase every 20 minutes

slightly less than 50% of buy-in goes to the Jackson Firefighters Association as more than 50% goes to payouts.

Can you provide any more details about the actual tournament?

How many chips to start?
How much are the initial blinds?
How often do they increase?
What % of the buy-in goes to the Jackson Firefighters?

Thanks

I am curious about the legality of running such a tournament. Is a license or permit required? Is there a state or federal exemption available that permits such tournaments for charity? Thanks for your reply.
