Tourney What would you call this format? (1 Viewer)

I keep coming up with silly ideas. This is one of them:

All players start with the same chip stack and blinds increase every 45 minutes until Level 5, where they are capped. From that point, blinds stay fixed. Players may rebuy only after losing all of their chips, and each rebuy is for the original buy-in amount, granting the original starting stack. Unlimited Rebuys. The game ends after Level 5 unless all players agree to continue. Payouts are made proportionally to each player’s final chip count relative to the starting stack and buy-in.

T10k Starting Stack

L1 50/100
L2 75/150
L3 100/200
L4 150/300
L5 200/400

Why would the chip leader agree to continue after the 5th round. That seems -EV.

Seems like a five round tournament.

It's a cash game with increasing blinds and a required playing time. If the buy-in was say, $100, then the blinds are:
.50/1
.75/1.50
1/2
1.50/3
2/4

This reminds me a bit of the "Cash of the Titans" event held on PokerGo back in early 2023. Money put into a 'prize pool' and awarded to the biggest winner at the end of each of two days and another payout for biggest cumulative winner.

(The description of how things worked is there, as well as the link to the episodes if you have a subscription)

The "structure" was:

Blinds BBA
L1 $500/$500 $500
L2 $500/$500 $1000
L3 $500/$1000 $1000
L4 $500/$1000 $2000
L5 $1000/$2000 $2000
L6 $1000/$2000 $4000
All levels are 3-hours long

It's a cashgame but with a mapping between cash value and tournament chips.
