Tournaments, they give you [censored] for starting chips

The number of starting chips is only meaningful when it is considered along with the rest of the tournament's structure. Compare Party's small buyin tourney's the same at Stars. Stars gives you 1500 chips, Party gives you 1000, but the blind's/ante's are faster at Stars such that the tourney's are actually very similar in terms of how fast their structure is. You can find the numbers Burningyen's post comparing tourney structures (first link of the Anthology thread).
Next compare Party's small buy-in tourney's to the small buy-in guaranteed tourney's at Empire. The have the exact same number of starting chips, and the exact same blind levels. The only difference is Empires has 20 minute blinds while Party has 15 minute blinds. Empire's structure is a lot slower than Party's despite having the same "small" number of starting chips.
