The Manager & floors made it up.

I tried telling them that the blinds were too big, the drop too much,
etc. but of course got nowhere.  Given the makeup of our players I doubt
the game will last a month, but you never know.  Since we don't have a
game bigger than 8/16, there are no "pros" waiting around.  It should be
interesting.
