Paizan's Saturday $5000 Guarenteed

First time posting, long time lurking.

Paizan's in Westerville $5000 Guarenteed with a minimum of 25 players.
I went last Saturday for the first one and they only had 16 players.

If they could get a few more players to reach the minimum, pretty good chance for a nice overlay. They are offering, so we should probably take them up on it.

Just an FYI, if you are looking for a place to play on Saturday.

Tournament starts at 5:00.

Buy in and structure would help to recruit players on here.

I played in one of their tournaments, and it's a nice place. Here are some comments I had about their structure...

1. Don’t use 50 chips. Hardly anyone else uses them, so this caused a lot of confusion and betting errors.
2. Start the blinds at 25/50 instead of 50/100. And definitely don’t advertise on your answering machine that you’re going to start at 25/50 and not do it.
3. Make the levels longer than 20 minutes. That’s appropriate for smaller buy-ins, but for $100 players should get a better structure.
4. Antes should be introduced at the 100/200 level. This gives better players more tools.
5. The jump between 600/1,200 and 1,000/2,000 was too large.
