Let me rephrase the question?
You call up a B&M cardroom and discover they have a tournament and you find out as much as you can. In particular you can find out <ul type="square"> [*]What the buy in is. [*]What the rebuys are.[*]At what levela the Rebuys stop.[*]What the final Rebuy is.[*]What the blinds and Antes are at each level.[*]How long each level lasts.[*]The expected number of players and the number of tables.[*]The number of final positions payed.[*]The expected payouts.[*]How long the tournament is expected to run. [/list] Using these parameters you decide if its worth your time to play. My question is which of these parameters are the most important and what values make it a good or very good tournament to play. |

Most important to me is how the long the levels are.

If you are a skilled player, the most important factors are the increments of increase of the blind levels and how long each level lasts. If the blinds escalate too fast the Tourney becomes a crap shoot, less attractive for a player with some skill.

The most critical issues are how weak is the field, and what else can you do with your time.

Levels: 20 minutes-too short. 45 minutes-just about right
Just my opinion |

Those who have mentioned the level length hit the nail right on the head. Additionally, I love playing in big money tourneys that had a lot of satelitte buy-ins, which usually means more bad players.
