Re: Formula for designing tournaments?
Depending on how loose/tight your players play, typically a tournament will end when the big blind is 5-10% of the total chips in play. So if you have 10 players with 1000 starting chips each, you have 10,000 in chips in play. When the BB is somewhere around 500 to 1000, your tourney will end.
The homepokertourney.com site is a great resource and will describe this in more detail.
I hope this helps
