I'm still dialing in my monthly tourney, last month we started with T7500 and one T9000 rebuy available thru L5. I allowed a "stack refresh" at the break if anyone wanted to surrender their chips and rebuy up to the T9000.

We used this structure:

I really liked the pace of the first ~8-10 levels, but after that I felt it could have used some speed. I think the game lasted into the L14-L15 area (I went out and moved to cash before L10), and the players also thought it could have sped up a bit.

I played around with the blinds but I was struggling to find something that felt smooth. I'd like to chip up to T500 around L10-L12 ideally. I suppose we could skip the T500 chip up altogether and go straight to T1000 base, I'm open to that.

I could just decrease the level timer after L10, but I would prefer to revise the blinds to be more aggressive instead.

Any ideas?
 
First thing I'd do is ditch the 20% jumps. That will help move it along right there, and probably end no later than L13:

lvl sb bb
L1 25 75
L2 50 100
L3 75 150
L4 100 200
L5 150 300
remove T25 chips
L6 200 400
L7 300 600
L8 400 800
L9 600 1200
L10 800 1600
remove T100 chips
L11 1000 2000
L12 1500 3000
L13 2000 4000 ***
L14 3000 6000
L15 4000 8000
L16 6000 12000
L17 8000 16000
L18 10000 20000

No need to color-up the T500s unless you just want to, assuming it even goes past the last level they will be needed (L12).


If you are wanting to ramp up the blinds aggression post-L10 (not necessary imo), be prepared for the event to end sooner:

lvl sb bb
L1 25 75
L2 50 100
L3 75 150
L4 100 200
L5 150 300
remove T25 chips
L6 200 400
L7 300 600
L8 400 800
L9 600 1200
L10 900 1800
remove T100 chips
L11 1500 3000
L12 2500 5000 ***
L13 4000 8000
L14 6000 12000
L15 10000 20000

Unlikely to last past L11-L12.

Thanks, sir.

I'll give that first one a try this weekend and see how it runs!
