Default Anything wrong with this blind structure?

I've been playing at a NLHE home tourny game now for a few weeks now, usually 10-20$ buy-in. The game normally plays 7-8 handed. They use this blind structure.

25/50 to start. The blind gets raised every full rotation but only by 5 each, small and big blind. So it will go 30/55, 35/60, 40/65 etc etc, regardless of how many people are in it. When it's HU it just stays at whatever it was.

How can I convince them to go with a more standard blind structure? Are there any advantages to going with the more normal structure?

The worst structure ever is the one I have played in a few times here in college, even though it's only a $5 buy in it's still stupid. The blinds go up every 25 minutes, until it gets down to 3-4 people, then the blinds go up "whenever someone goes out." And then heads up it switches to both players anteing. I try to tell everyone how dumb it is and how it defeats the purpose of blinds but no one listens. Then again it's $5.

Agreed. One of the regular tourneys I go to is $25 buy-in. Starts out .25/.25 blinds. Goes up to .25/.50 etc. every 30 minutes. 90 minutes of rebuys -- $15 for $25 in chips. Add on at end of rebuy period -- $10 for $25 in chips.

Tell whoever is running it that it sucks and he should buy a f*cking timer already! The guy that runs my regular tourney uses homepokertourney --

What a nightmare to have the blinds be at such odd numbers! Like usual, they never listen though. Most common answer: 'I've been doing it like this for 100 years! Nobody has EVER complained!'
