Structure Question

[paulish]

If your planning a poker tourney (NL Hold'em Freeze-out), you start with X players and need to finsh the tournament in Y hours...is there a way to calculate the blind structure needed. Given that all players start with t10.000 and blinds start at 25/50 and excalate in a normal fashion.

To be more specific:
<font color="red"> 800 players, and the tournament will last 21hours (no breaks). How many minutes at each level?
</font>
Level 01 : 25/50
Level 02 : 50/100
Level 03 : 100/200
Level 04 : 100/200 + 25
Level 05 : 150/300 + 50
Level 06 : 200/400 + 50
Level 07 : 250/500 + 50
Level 08 : 300/600 + 50
Level 09 : 400/800 + 100
Level 10 : 600/1200 + 200
Level 11 : 800/1600 + 300
Level 12 : 1k/2k + 300
....etc

Set it up so that at the time you want things to be done, all the chips in play are used up by the antes and blinds.

In a home game, the BB will probably be about 5% of the total chips in play by the time you're done.
