Home Game Tourney of Champions... Good or Bad idea?

[PShabi]

I host a weekly home SNG. $20 buy-in. 2nd place gets entry back, winner takes rest.

We've got a core of 5 player and usually 1 or 2 others guys to round out a field of 6 or 7.

If you played at the game, what would you think of this idea.

Take $10 out of the pot every week, and put it to the side. In December, anyone who has won this SNG throughout the year would be eligible to participate in a freeroll for the money that was pulled out of the weekly pot.

If you did it all year long you'd have a nice $500 freeroll at the end of the year.

If you played at a similar game would you like this idea? Why or why not? Just something I'm tossing around to give some added flair to the whole thing.

that would sound like a fun idea... gives you even more reason to win as if you needed anymore reasons.

Sounds like it'd end up being your 5 regular guys and a couple others which wouldn't be that much different from your weekly game. (seriously, everyone is probably going to win at least once from here to december.. maybe you should make the requirements three wins or something) but the idea of setting aside a certain amount each week to have a freeroll at the end of the year is pretty cool.

Sounds like a good idea...probably the same guys, but the pot would be bigger... Go for it.

Yeah, I know it will probably be just the 5 of us, but I liked the idea mroe for the Big Game aspect at the end.

The outside 1 or 2 players NEVER WIN.

Instead of a $500 freeroll, make the final tourney of the year like a $50 buyin with the $500 added to the prizepool (assuming everyone wins once and gets to play)
