Tourney T1500 Blinds Schedule (1 Viewer)

[jazzV3]

I know there are multiple threads about blinds schedules, but I didn't see a thread for a T1500 tourney.
In the past, I had used the blinds schedules posted on HomePokerTourney.com.

We are doing a small T1500 tourney at work and intend for it to run approx 2-3 hours.
Allowing one optional rebuy in the first hour if busted or under 500 chips.

Can anyone suggest a schedule that would have this wrap up within 3 hours?
It will likely only be one table with between 8 - 10 players.

Starting stacks are 20 (5's) , 16 (25's) , 5 (100's), 1 (500).
Rebuys made using three 500 chips.

This is the one that I had used in the past (If I recall, they were 15 minute levels):

I really dislike the 100% increase in your structure at L5.

With T1500 starting stacks (75bb) and 15-minute levels, the following blind schedule should finish no later than L12 (three hours plus breaks) for 10 players (2:45 for 8 players):

lvl sb bb
L1 10 20
L2 15 30
L3 20 40
L4 30 60
L5 40 80
L6 60 120
remove T5 chips
L7 75 150
L8 100 200
L9 150 300
remove T25 chips
L10 200 400
L11 300 600
L12 400 800 ** EOT
L13 600 1200
L14 800 1600

Blind increases average 40%, ranging from 33%-50% (except L7 = 25%). No 100% jumps needed.

Thank you BG!

BG
Where would you throw in the breaks?
Length? 5 min? 10 min?

5 min for chip ups?

Personally, I'd break after Levels 3, 6, and 9 (but I'd also be using 20-minute levels, so breaks would be after every hour in the 4-hour event). 5 minutes is sufficient for single-table color-ups. You can probably get by without a break after L3.

I created the following blind schedule, trying BB ante for the first time. Haven’t run with it yet. Thoughts?
