Tournament Structure

[avandelay]

Hey All,

Looking for some advice on how to set up a no-limit hold 'em tournament so that it will last between three and four hours. There will be between ten and fifteen players and no rebuys.

Wondering in what increments the blinds should go up and how long between blinds.

Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Do you really want it to last that long? I would play this
1000 chips
25/25, 25/50, 50/100 and so on in 30 min incr.
should last about an hour.
Longer:
do a 10/10, 10/20 and so on every 30 min. this should last a bit longer

Thumb through these pages. This worked well for us.

Schedule set breaks!! and we moved to a 50%/30%/20% prize structure in our future ones.
