Tourney Advice on Tournament Structure for my existing chips (1 Viewer)

[Chris Flynn]

Here is my set:

400 x 1
300 x 5
200 x25
50 x 100
50 x 500
20 x 1,000
20 x 5,000

Wondering the highest level Chip count and break down for this set. I am thinking of T1000 with the following breakdown for 10 players:

20 x 5
16 x 25
5 x 100

Uses all of the 100s for buy ins - but do have 500/1000 chips that could facilitate rebuys. Does this sound pretty workable? Otherwise could consider a T500 or T750 Tourney.

Thanks!

Best utilization for your set with 10 players is a T2000 tournament (200BB) using 20/16/5/2 stacks and the structure below.

Total chips used:

200 x T5
160 x T25
50 x T100
50 x T500 (includes 10x for T5/T25 color-up, and 20x for five T2000 re-buys)

Blind structure (200BB):

lvl sb bb
L1 5 10
L2 5 15
L3 10 20
L4 15 30
L5 20 40
L6 30 60
L7 40 80
remove T5 chips
L8 50 100
L9 75 150
L10 100 200
L11 125 250
L12 150 300
remove T25 chips
L13 200 400
L14 300 600
L15 400 800
L16 600 1200 ***
L17 800 1600
remove T100 chips
L18 1000 2000
L19 1500 3000
L20 2000 4000

With 10 players and 15-minute blind levels, tournament will typically end no later than L16 (four hours plus breaks). You can increase stacks to T4000 (by adding 2x T1000), which creates a deep-stack 400BB tournament lasting about 1/2-hour longer. Add about 1.5 hours to above times if using 20-minute blind levels.
