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?
