Hello mrbutler88,
Blind levels are all 30 minutes
Day 1 will finish at level 13
Day 2 will play out to 9 players
Day 1
Lvl SB BB Ante
1 100 100 100
2 100 200 200
3 200 300 300
4 200 400 400
5 300 500 500
Break
I assume the starting stack is something around 30K regarding the information you gave.
Here you can start with a 100/100 level with no ante.
It allows you to not reducing the players stack in BB amount for the first hour.
Level would 2 be 100/100/100.
You could also remove your actual level 5.
You can raise the BB amount by 50% at this stage of the tournament.
However, 2 hours and 30 minutes without break might be a bit too much. Most of the time, 2 hours play between breaks is the maximum.
6 300 600 600
7 400 800 800
8 500 1000 1000
9 600 1200 1200
Break - Remove 100 chips
10 1000 1500 1500
Starting with 100/100 and 2 hours play allows you to send players on break at the end of level 8. (which the same one if you started 100/100 and removed level 5)
Then you have 2 more levels. Since you had already 10 levels and 2 breaks, at this stage, tournament is already 5h40 hours long (20 mn breaks). So you can send your players and dealers on Diner break during which players can still register. You also have
more time to remove your 100 chips.
It allows you to have 800/1600/1600 on level 10
14 2000 4000 4000
15 3000 5000 5000
16 3000 6000 6000
17 4000 8000 8000
18 5000 10000 10000
19 6000 12000 12000
Break - Remove 1k chips
20 10000 15000 15000
21 10000 20000 20000
Again, with 2 hours play you can have
14 2000 4000 4000
15 3000 5000 5000
16 3000 6000 6000
17 4000 8000 8000
Break
18 5000 10000 10000
19 6000 12000 12000
20 8000 16000 16000
21 10000 20000 20000
Break - Remove 1k chips
The end of the structure seems to be fine.
Cheers
