I’m helping a friend run a tourney this weekend and would like some advice to ensure that the structure is providing max value while still adhering to a particular time frame.
Expecting 15-20 players
Allowing up to 2 rebuys per player until the end of the first break (not expecting many rebuys it’s just in case there are bad beats early on)
20k starting stack
25min blinds
2pm 50/100
2:25 75/100
2:50 100/200
3:15 150/300
3:50 Break-10min-remove 25’s
4:00 200/400
4:25 300/600
4:50 Dinner Break-60min
5:50 400/800
6:15 500/1000
6:40 600/1200
7:05 800/1600
7:30 break-10min-remove 100’s
7:40 1000/2000
8:05 1500/3000
8:30 2000/4000
8:55 3000/6000
9:20 break-10 min-remove 500’s
9:30 4000/8000
9:55 5000/10000
10:20 6000/12000
10:45 8000/16000
11:10 break
11:20 10000/20000
11:45 12000/24000
12:10 15000/30000
12:35 20000/40000
With 15 entries I’m thinking this should end around 6000/12000 blind level. Does this sound reasonable?
If there are more entries I am prepared to skip 500/1000 and/or 5000/10000. At many how entries should I expect to have to do this?
The goal is to end between 10 and 11 but must be done midnight.
Also going to give 2k bonus to players who register before 2pm.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
