Home Tourney Structure....

F@ces

Hi,

Just wondering could anyone recommend a good structure for home tourneys.

The game would be a rebuy tourney, buyin €20, with 2/3 rebuys and an addon. Avg of 9 players.

1). What about a blind structure? I've written an app that is basically an STT tournament manager/ timer, done as I couldn't find a reasonable one out there, but it needs a bit more work. Anywho, the default blind stucture I'm using is a little soft. If I was to use the PPP one it would probably be a bit harsh as the level increment is steep. Can anyone recommend a structure that would promote 4 - 6 hours play for example (i.e. mins per level and the blind structure itself)?

2). Payout. Currently I have it as 70 - 20 - 10% payouts. I'm not sure is this best. Would 50 - 30 - 20% be better? Suggestions?

Many thanks. Love this forum, some great posters here, fantastic overall information

If it's STT, I play freezeout in home games. Rebuys just make for manicial play in STTs.

Try using 12 minute blinds (15 if self dealt).

Blinds:
25/50
50/100
150/200
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1000
800/1500
1000/2000

3.5K starting chips.

we use a starting stack of 5K

Blinds
100/200
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1000
600/1200

I've had to settle on 3 orbits for the blind structures and the above blinds are due to lack of chips/inability of the other players to cop that a 50/100 level would make sense.

Payout of 50/30/20 is fine, esp. for a rebuy.

Thanx for the suggestions - appreciated.
