looks an impressive set-up, I wish we could host events like this in the UK outside casinos, but the gambling laws prohibit gambling for more than £5-£10 per person outside casinos without casino non-remote licence holder endorsed permits, end result is poker suffers and goes underground somewhat.
I can see what you mean with self deal, I have the exact same problems with large self dealt events, simply flooring to ensure they run relatively smoothly.
I don't know if you are interested but I adopted the TDA rules into our rules last year after some gentle prodding was successful, they are specifically designed for self-deal games, simplified in places, to ensure rules are followed effectively without being overwhelming to the layman.
anyway, if you want to view them you can click on the link below. You will likely note that the majority are more or less word for word on the TDA rules. There are a few errors, which I haven't managed to convince my seniors to change yet, but they work pretty well.
