I actually use a simple spreedsheet that calculates total number of chips in the tournament. I make the calculations at the end of the rebuy period.

Add the following:
# of Entires x Initial Chips
# of Rebuys x Rebuy Chips
# of Add-ons x Add on Chips

An example from Poker Stars $10+1 Rebuy might be like this:
1304 Entries x 1500 Chips = 1,956,000
2985 Rebuys x 1500 Chips = 4,477,500
807 Add-ons x 2000 Chips = 1,614,000

Total Chips = 8,047,500

If the tourny pays out to 135 places, then divide total chips / 135.
ITM Chip Average = 59,600 (Approximately)

If final table has 9 players then:
FT Chip Average = 895,000 (Approximately)

You get the picture.
If people weren't involved....I would have mastered poker along time ago! - Play the Game!
