Is this fair?
Hi,
I'm looking to set up my own tournaments and I'd appreciate your comments on my structure. There will be two tournament types: 1) Re-Buy with Top Up 2) Freezeout. I will be getting 20,000 chips and with this amount I hope to accommodate for 500 Re-Buy players or 1,000 Freezeout players. I want to make the best use out of my chips so I designed this structure assigning a set amount of chips to each player for a Re-Buy tournament. I have allowed for 3 Re-Buys per person plus 1 top up in the first hour and a half. Of course not everybody will buy 3 Re-Buys so there should be plenty spare for those who want to Re-Buy more than 3 times. This assigned Re-Buy amount per player can then be divided into two equal stacks to cater for 2 Freezeout stacks. <font color="red">Re-Buy Tournament:</font> White(25) x 8 = 200 Red(100) x 8 = 800(+ 2 to colour up the above) Blue(500) x 4 = 2,000(+2 to colour up the above) Total starting chips = 3,000 = 60X Big Blind (Blinds start at 25/50) I then have: Green(1000) x 14 = 14,000 which is to accommodate for Re-Buys (3K) and a Top Up (3k) and I also have Black(5000) to colour up for final table to cut down on chip amounts. <font color="blue">Summary:</font> White(25) x 8 = 200 Red(100) x 8(2) = 800 Blue(500) x 4(2) = 2,000 Green(1,000) x 14 = 14,000 Black(5,000) x 2 = 10,000 In total that is 40 chips assigned to each player for the Re-Buy tournament. This stack of 40 can then be made into 2 even stacks to accommodate 2 freezeout players like so: <font color="red">Freezeout:</font> Green(25) x 6 = 150 Red(50) x 5 = 250 Blue(200) x 3 = 600 White(500) x 4 = 2,000 Total starting chips = 3,000 = 60X Big Blind (Blinds start at 25/50) I then have 1 black left over which can colour up the Green, Red and Blue at a later stage. <font color="blue">Summary:</font> Green(25) x 6 = 150 Red(50) x 5 = 250 Blue(200) x 3 = 600 White(500) x 4 = 2,000 Black(1000) x 1 = 1,000 This equals 19 chips assigned to each freezeout player. This means there will be 40 chips per person for a Re-Buy tournament, from 20,000 chips, this allows 500 players and for a freezeout it will allow 1,000 players. I will need to following amount of colours in total so: White: 4,000 Red: 5,000 Blue: 3,000 Green: 7,000 Black: 1,000 Total = 20,000 I suppose it would be wise to get a good few of each colour for spares also. The freezeout is to last 4 hours and the Re-Buy is to last between 5 and 6 hours. What are your opinions on this set-up? Do you think it is fair? Do you think it will run well? Also, what about the colours? Should I swap colour values to have Black = 100 instead of red being 100 etc? I would appreciate any comments or criticisms. I have not yet decided on a blind structure but it will be as fair as possible. If anyone knows of any structure that would suit this set up, please recommend it  Thanks

Do you think this is too many chips to be giving people? [/ QUOTE ] I think this depends on what your blind structure will be, but assuming you go with a fairly typical blind structure (25/50, etc, rising every 20-30 minutes), then I think it will make for a somewhat long tournament, but a tournament with a lot of play, which is what a lot of poker players prefer.

I am no expert on setting up live anything, but I will say this: if you think a 1000 person tournament will ever finish in 4 hours live, you are setting yourself up for massive failure. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry, I should have pointed out that I am diving the 1000 by 10 different games, so it will only be a 100 man tournament at most.
