David here is the basic flier we make available to the players that come to our home tournaments. Most of the rules are standard, but others are our house rules. But by establishing your rules before hand can get rid of any arguing later. This is just a suggestion aned please feel free to modify as you see fit. Our tournaments usually have around 30 people and lasts 4.5 to 5 hours. If you need any other help drop me an email. Also where is your tournament? There might be some chippers interested in coming.

Set dealers is a good idea. I think you said you have them.
