HELP! Need to convince players tourney went too fast!
Played Sunday at a new tournament at some guys house. 36 players, 2000 chips starting stack size. Blinds go up every 20 minutes.
25/50 50/100 100/200 200/400 300/600 400/800 500/1000....etc.... With 22 people left, the blinds were 200/400, while the average stack was 3200 chips. Within 20 minutes, through this level, they had 11 players left. The whole tournament was done in 3 hours. And there was a half hour of breaks, delays when tables broke, etc. I want him to flatten out the blinds, increase the stacks, or make the levels last longer, so the skilled players stand more of a chance. He says "People like playing in fast tournaments, but if enough people agree, or whatever, I'll change it." HELP!!! This was WAY too fast for any skilled players to stand a chance. Finished in 11th place, got blinded out like everyone else. Rob |

Re: HELP! Need to convince players tourney went too fast!
Maybe he doesn't want you in his house for more than 3 hours.
If that is not the case, here is the structure I use for my home tourneys, which usually have 40 people and last 5-6 hours: Start with 5,000 chips Rounds last 20 minutes, no antes. 10/20 15/30 25/50 50/100 75/150 100/200 150/300 200/400 300/600 500/1000 700/1400 1000/2000 2000/4000 3000/6000 5000/10000 and then double every 20 minutes from then on.

You can try the TEARS system which tries to combat the very problem you describe. If you want it to go a little faster, make each level 15 minutes.
