I've been running this blinds structure for 8- or 9-handed tournaments. It's targeted at 3.5 hours not including breaks and uses the superior T100 base (OK off my high horse...).
The issue I've had with it, is sometimes when doing an 8-handed game, it seems to run well under 3.5 hours even with breaks. I think I need to tweak it for cases where I can only pull 8.
Thoughts on the best way to tweak it?
Or thoughts in general on this blind structure?
Thank you for your input!
