I ran a horse tournament last fall with these blinds. 50k starting stacks

I have tried it using the 2015 WSOP schedule. It worked pretty well

I think we did 25k starting stacks, but the 2015 schedule starts a bit slower

I have seen limit versions of Omaha-hi and 7 card stud in H.O.S.E. tournaments with a four game rotation of NHLE, Omaha-hi, 7 card stud and 7 card stud hi-lo. Some include a round of Omaha hi-lo.
I am thinking of hosting a tournament with a three game rotation of NLHE/PLO/FL Seven card stud hi-lo. 20/20/30 minute rounds.
Any feedback?

This is usually done as all limit poker:
"... styled on Mike Sexton's original Tournament of Champions event from years ago at the Orleans in Las Vegas. It is a rotation tournament consisting of Limit Stud High, Limit Omaha-8, and Limit Hold'em."
Sometimes, to insure a reasonable ending time, the tournament switches to NLHE only after a prescribed number of levels (e.g., 12). Personally, I hate that provision.
Sample structure, from BARGE 2017:
Initial chips: T5,000. Nine players to a table. Game rotation order: Seven Stud, Omaha/8, Holdem
Rounds: approximately 36 minutes during the limit games. No Limit rounds will be 20 minutes each.
During each round, two of the three games will be played. Holdem rounds will be 15 minutes, Seven Stud rounds will be 18 minutes, and Omaha Hi/Lo rounds will be 22 minutes.
Level Limits Blinds Antes Bring-in
1 30-60 15-30 5 10
2 50-100 25-50 10 15
3 75-150 50-75 15 25
Break for 10 minutes, Remove T5 chips.
4 150-300 75-150 25 50
5 200-400 100-200 25 75
6 300-600 150-300 50 100
Break for 10 minutes, Remove T25 chips.
7 600-1,200 300-600 100 200
8 1,000-2,000 500-1,000 200 300
9 1,500-3,000 800-1,500 300 500
Break for 10 minutes.
Switch to No Limit Holdem with 20 minute rounds:
Level Blinds Antes
10 No Limit 1,000-2,000 200
11 No Limit 1,500-3,000 300
Break for 5 minutes, Remove T100 chips.
12 No Limit 2,000-4,000 500
13 No Limit 3,000-6,000 500
14 No Limit 4,000-8,000 1,000
15 No Limit 5,000 10,000 1,500
16 No Limit 5,000 15,000 2,000
17 No Limit 10,000-20,000 5,000
At some point we allot 10 minutes to reorganize at the final table (9 handed). If the final table is reached during Level 9, proceed to play No Limit Holdem with the Level 10 structure for the remaining Level 9 time, then continue with level 10 (i.e., no further change until Level 11). Otherwise, start playing No Limit at Level 10 even if the final table has not been reached.
No Limit is scheduled to go into effect at level 10, not at the final table. Otherwise the tournament would probably run too long.
Minutiae
The placement of the button should be determined before play begins, even though stud is going to be the first game. During stud, the player who is to have the button in the forthcoming blind-game will hold the button. Should this player be moved the button remains in the spot, and will become a dead button. Should another player be moved into this spot, he/she will inherit the button. The chip-splitting rule is:
High hand takes precedence over low hand.

I don't like the idea of changing limits between games. The button becomes too important

I agree with you there. I’ve played a few online tournaments where all the games were limit, except NLHE. It’s frustrating as hell to grind your way along in the limit games for a while, be doing well, have a nice lead on the table, and then have to risk pissing it all away on one hand of Holden.Sometimes, to insure a reasonable ending time, the tournament switches to NLHE only after a prescribed number of levels (e.g., 12). Personally, I hate that provision.
