Help me improve my home game

[ZimbuTheMonkey]

My friends and I play once a week. It's a SNG style game with a 10-20$ buy-in. I want to have some proper guidelines to use, because EVERY single week there's an argument about blinds, prize payout, etc.

Ok, so we're usually 6-10 people. The blinds start from 10/20 and move up every 20-30 mins. How many chips should we start with? What should the prize structure be?

I'm just sick of arguing with these guys every week. I mean, there's one that always wants "only first place prize", another wants the blinds to go up every 10 mins, etc. Help me out fellow 2+2ers.
