			We all had to pay the money up front.  We talked about doing small buy-in / side bet sort of things, but never did.  The theory was that that would keep people playing hard when they were mathematically eliminated.

			Here's the league my boss plays in. Great format, but you need a lot of participants ans good management, plus a big place to play. If it wasn't 75 miles from my house, I'd be in. Click on *League Format* for the general rules/structure.

			I believe the buy-ins are $100 or $120. Not published for, shall we say, obvious reasons. I subbed for him once. Had a very tough table draw. I'd say the level of play in that group was tougher than a $100 tourney at Foxwoods.

			That is one of the things I really enjoyed about our league.  For a $250 buy-in, 8 of the 10 players were very solid. (one was absent constantly and one was habitually knocked out first)
