Default Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney

Playing an annual tourney with 8 guys total (including myself). 200 to enter, all goes to winner. I am looking for a somewhat slow blind system and a starting chip amount so that this little SnG lasts for about 6 or so hours. Thanks for all replies.

Start everyone with 50K in chips:

20 (100's)=2000
6 (500's)=3000
5 (1000's)=5000
2 (5000's)=10K
3 (10,000's)=30K

Each level could be 15-20 mins. Blinds as follows:

100/200
200/400
300/600
400/800
BREAK 10 mins
500/1000
600/1200
700/1400
800/1600
BREAK 10 mins
1000/2000
1500/3000
2000/4000
2500/5000
BREAK 10 mins
3000/6000
4000/8000
5000/10K
6000/12K
BREAK 10 min
8000/16K
10K/20K
15K/30K
20K/40K

Start with 50k in chips? How long do you want this to last, 12 hours for 8 guys?

I run a 50K chip game with up to 16 players. Usually lasts 4-6 hours depending on how things go. Not sure where you got the 12 hour figure from.

I was pushing it there a bit. even 6 hours is long for a 16 person. I would rather see it be about 2 hours for that many people.

The last tourney we ran we had 40 players and it lasted 6 1/2 hours and that was long. The mistake I made was a 30 minute time interval. 20 minutes is perfect with an ante after the 1st hour.

My main question is why start with 50k in chips?

I host slower tourney's, too. You can start with 10K, 25K, 50K, etc. Just as long as the starting blinds are within a reasonable percentage, i.e. 100-200, 200-400, etc. 20 or 30 minutes. You will see real poker being played.

Default Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney

Playing only a single table tourney, it's easy to compute when the tourney will end. a 10-man tourney will end when the big blind is roughly equal to the initial bank.

(meaning if you start everyone off w/ $1K your tourney will end when the BB is $800-1000)

That being said, you can work backwards, just make the level before the 6 hour mark = to the initial buy in.

I would suggest 30 minute levels, giving you 10-11 levels before you hit 6 hours. For example start w/ 1000

10-20
20-40
30-60
40-80
50-100
75-750
100-200
150-300
200-400
300-600
400-800
500-1000

you mention that you will only have 8 players meaning it will probably end in the 300-600 or 400-800 level. plus the slow blinds in the beginning will offer a lot of play for everyone.

Thanks for all the help guys. Still thinkin it over though. I think I want around 2k starting chips instead of 1k or 5k..and I am pretty sure we will only be playing with 4 different colored chips. How would I change things around if I did this?
