Yet another tournament structure post

[moose47]

Yes, I know you probably get sick of these posts all the time and before someone refers me to www.homepokertourney.com I just want to say that I have been there, but I'm just looking for some opinions here on whether I'm missing anything, suggestions, etc....

This will be NLHE with anywhere from 10-16 people. The goal is to finish somewhere around 3 - 3.5 hours. Right now I'm thinking about starting everyone off with 10,000 in chips and using the following structure. Blinds increase every 15 minutes...

25/50 50/100 100/200 150/300

200/400 300/600 400/800 600/1200

1K/2K 1.5K/3K 2K/4K 2.5K/5K

3K/6K 4K/8K 6K/12K 8K/16K

Does this look alright? Any need for antes?

We will have 10 minute breaks each hour where we will remove the lowest color chip on the table.

I was thinking about starting each player with 20 greens(25), 15 blacks(100), 6 purples(500) and 5 yellows(1k).

Also we are still debating on whether to play 2 tables until we have 8 players left or 6 players left. Our tables will seat no more than 8 but I would like everyone to be as comfortable as possible.

If there is anything I'm missing or if anybody has any improvements I'd love to hear them.
