Tourney Tournament structure help (1 Viewer)

[SixSpeedFury]

I need help with a tournament structure. Let's say it's single table, 20k starting stack, with 6-7 players. I would like the blinds to be 20 minutes but keep the game to 4-5 hours. Paging @BGinGA!

7 players
T20000 stacks
20-minute levels

lvl sb bb
L1 25 50
L2 25 75
L3 50 100
L4 75 150
L5 100 200
L6 150 300
remove T25 chips
L7 200 400
L8 300 600
L9 400 800
L10 600 1200
L11 800 1600
L12 1200 2400
L13 1600 3200
remove T100 chips
L14 2500 5000
L15 3500 7000 *** estimated EOT
L16 5000 10000
L17 7500 15000

T20K stacks = 400 big blinds, with increases ranging from 33% to 56% (43% average).
Event will typically finish no later than the end of L15 (5 hours plus breaks).
Skipping L1 and/or L2 will shorten the event by 20 (or 40) minutes, while still maintaining pretty large 267bb (or 200bb) starting stacks.

Thanks Dave! Completely forgot about this, what with all the hoopla going on....

Tournaments have a beginning middle and end. 50% jumps in the later stages can have a crippling impact on the remaining chip stacks.
6-7 players orbits, unlike a full ring tournament, can be completed in under 20 minutes.

4.5 to 5 hour structure with 18 minute levels:

25/75
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
(Break) Remove T25's
200/400
300/600
400/800
600/1200
800/1600
(Break) Remove T100's
1000/2000
1500/3000
2000/4000
2500/5000
3000/6000
4000/8000
