Tourney T7000 Blind Structure (1 Viewer)

[Sabo]

Kind of a turbo tournament structure for playing quicker games. Probably have 12-16 players. I have a T100 set up. Here is my starting stack and what I think is a decent blind structure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Starting Stack
10 x T100
8 x T500
2 x T1000

Blinds - 15 mins
100/200
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1000.
600/1200
800/1600
1000/2000

Might be getting close to finished by this time LOL We are all just recreational players having some fun. Not that serious at all.

Thanks

Your stack sizes are very small relative to the blinds... each player starts with only 35BBs. Within 30 minutes (start of Level 3) a bunch of players will have less than 10 Big Blinds. Which is... bananas. This could create a lot of frustration, and players busting early may not have any interest in playing in this game ever again.

Can you increase to 15k or 20k starting stacks?

Also, your early level jumps are huge. I'd add in some more levels to make the jumps a little less brutal relative to stack size.

There’s a rule of thumb for figuring out when a tourney will end.

Someone will chime in if I have the ratio wrong… but expected tourney end is when the BB is 5% of the total chips on the table. So for your case t7000 x 14 players * 5% ~ 5,000. So expected tourney end would be when BB’s are 5k. So you’ll probably need to plan for more levels (and time) than in your OP.

50x the big blind starting stacks seems like an almost rock bottom minimum. Start there and adjust as needed.

You could maybe start blinds at 100/100 if you’re set constrained.

But as is the answer to most questions on PCF, the consensus is “MOAR CHIPS”.

Thanks everyone for the input. My group is more of the "lets play more games"...they like to keep it moving and play another game. We keep the buy in relatively low like $10-$20. They just like to play, lose and play again lol

Basically, Turbo games

You’re welcome.

I would also add the 100/100 first level, as @BSteck suggested.
