Badugi Multi Table Home Game Structure
If you use the Badugi home game tournament structure below then for a field of around 40 players you can expect the tournament to last 3 hours. This is the structure for a pot limit Badugi tournament, if you plan to play a limit tournament then we suggest you bring in ante’s earlier and possibly miss out a few levels depedning on how much time you have to play. If you have less than 40 then you might want to extend the blind levels a little more, more than 40 and you could either miss out some levels or make all levels shorter to reduce game time.
