One last suggestion- unless you have a lot of people helping, just color up (I prefer rounding up for everyone, but it's your call) rather than race off. It's a lot faster with so many tables.

There are some sample blind structures on the site as well -- the "shorter event" ones have no ante, but they are optimized for a smaller chip count than 3k/5k.

The unreg'd version of the program has limited flexibility in choosing blinds levels. You can, though, set the time to Zero for any blinds levels you want to skip (like the 25-25 level it creates by default) to get a good idea of how long the tourney will last.

I agree with rounding up. Racing off is a distraction and takes too much time. (Players in my tourneys color in without stopping the clock.)
