QUESTION ON REBUY-IN TOURNAMENT SETUP

[charlin]

I'm sorta new to the NL tournament side of texas hold'em but I really love it.

I have played in a few single buy-in tournaments but never a rebuy.

I have decided to host a 50-100 person tourney with between a $50 and $150 buy-in's. I was thinking of having rebuy's to help with the pot, but I have no clue on the details.

How long to allow a rebuy, how much, and how many chips, ect...

If someone could help me out that would be great.

Also...Tell me if this sounds reasonable.

Start with $1000 worth of chips with the blinds:

10/15
10/20 - after 30 min
15/30 - 30 min
25/50 - 30 min
50/100 - 30 min
75/150 - 30 min
100/200 - 30 min
150/300 - 30 min
200/400 - after 1 hour
300/600 - 1 hour
ect....

Should I incorporate ante's at some point and is 1000 enough for this tournament.

My biggest concern is not to rush this tournament but to have it finish in a reasable amount of time. I feel that so many tournament rush their blind times and raise them to much which gives "Lucky" players the edge. Just my opinion.

Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks
