Tourney Need help setting up a home poker tournament structure (3 Viewers)

[MATH3554]

Hi everyone !

I'm organizing a tournament next week (friday, June 6th) and i'd love to get your expert advice to fine-tune the structure.

Here are the details:

-No limit texas hold'em
-12 players (2 tables of 6)
- Rebuys allowed
- Add on: none
- Expected duration: around 6/7 hours

What I need help with :

- A balanced blind structure over the full duration
-Advice on when to plan breaks
- Until wich level rebuys should be allowed

Thanks a lot for your suggestions !
I'm also open to ideas or exemples of structures you've used in similar formats.
And if you've got any tips for keeping the rythm or managing the transition to the final table, I'm all ears too.

Thanks again

What is your chip set so we can plan what values to work with?

Hi!
Thanks for your help.
I will have 4 full sets of chips .
Each set contains about 300 chips in 5 calors.
Do you think it ll be enough ?

If you use T25, this structure works for me. You can omit the Big Blind ante if you want. I calculate the tournament end by taking the total chips in play x 0.05. This number will be the total in blinds and antes in the pot pre-flop. In this case, a 10k starting stack with 12 players has a chip count of 120k, which means it will end when there is 6k in the pot pre-flop. Should end somewhere around Level 11-13, which would equate to about 4 hrs (not including breaks).

Your chips should be plenty. I'd recommend 12-12-5-6 for 10k. You'd have enough left over for cashing out the 25's and 100's. And you'll have one color left over for 5k chips.

Thanks for your reply. I'd like my tournamentto last around 6 or 7 hours.
What should I adjust to make that happen ?
Thanks again for your help !

make it 30 minute levels for 1-15....adds 2.5 hours.

You’ll probably going to add 1/2 hour for breaks. Depends on how social your group is.
