Tourney Super Turbo T25 tourney (1 Viewer)

[Sparkynutz]

The last few times our group played a tournament a few complained it lasted too long.
We play cash games first few hours till everyone shows up then eat followed by a tournament
They want to play for an hour to hour and a half tops but still want rebuys which doesn't help.
10 minute fairly high jumping levels, T25 with 10k starting stacks lasted just shy of 3 hours with 8 guys and 5 rebuys the last time.

I picked up a new set of chips I'd like to use for a fast as possible tournament set.
Chip set consists of-
25 x200
100 x100
500 x75
1k x25

Thinking of doing similar levels as last time but cutting the starting stack to 5k
12x25
7x100
6x500
1x1k

It looks like I should have enough chips for 5 rebuys yet but may stop them a few levels earlier.

Thoughts?

If I’ve followed @BGinGA’s lessons correctly…

Tournament will typically end when there are 20BB in play. With 8 buy ins and 5 rebuys at that’s 130,000 for 10k starting stacks or 65,000 for 5k stacks so when the big blind is roughly 6k or 3k, respectively.

Take look at what level that would be at and scale the time between levels appropriately so that you hit that BB amount around an hour in.

(I think) if you keep the levels the same, halving the starting stack size and halving the time between levels will have the same effect on length?

May trim lvl1 off this and call it good enough. Any higher jumps would suck and blind increase time is already short.
It won't take 10 minutes to chip up. Maybe long first break to eat with last chip up being like 5 minutes tops.
