Do you want to play single table tourney's or a 30 player tourney elimination to one final table?

Nice Tourney

Give each player $100 starting banking running 3 tables of 10. Starting blinds and how often you raise them all depends on how long you want this tourney to last?
If you want short and sharp start at 5/10 and double them every fifteen minutes. After one hour you will be at 40/80 with most your field eliminated.
