I ran a 10 person STT (1 rebuy/player for first 6 levels) a few weeks ago and found that it was running kinda clunky. We started with 200bbs, 20 min levels, and small, incremental jumps in blinds each level.
At first, 20 min levels seemed too short since we didn’t even make it one revolution around the table before the blinds went up so the table agreed to increase each level to 30 mins for more play. Towards the middle/end of the tournament, play seemed to be dragging and a lot of players seemed to be getting restless.
Being that most players at my game are inexperienced/recreational players, what do you think would be the best intervention to help play move along more smoothly while also not turning it into a turbo?
