Hi Laura: Without going through the calculations to see if you reach your goals for numbers of players (please refer to numerous prior posts on how to calculate blinds to reach a target number of players).... I would make the following suggestions:
A) a 5-day tournament is quite prestigious and will be an arduous challenge for your players. Given that, I would highly recommend against "dramatic" blind increases such as you have in levels: 5, 7, 16, 22 and 24. Your scheduled increases on those levels are at least 50%. That's too steep for a blind increase at a prestigious tournament, IMO.
B) Your starting stack of 35,000 tourney chips is 700 times the first BB of 50. It's not necessary to start out with such a disparity. You could easily start out with your 50-100 level (which is 1 / 350th of your starting stack).
By making the adjustments in your blind increases, you can smooth out the increases so that they are never more than 20-25% per level. Even 25% is steep for a 5-day event. Your players will appreciate the slower increases as this permits them to play their best poker.... and perhaps most important, greatly increases the likelihood they will return for your next event! Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

the calculations of how to reach 30% of the field for each day 1 is my main problem!don't seem to know how to use the formula of 5% on multipule days(nb of players x starting stack x 5%=bb of the last level)please more help will be greatly appreciad
regards
laura

Laura please advise as to whether you have a time limit for each day. For example, do you have to be out of the building by midnight each day, or can you play until you reach your approximate target number of players each night?
Thanks!
