Hi guys, it's been a while since I posted but my game is thankfully improving thanks to the sound advice I find here at FTR, so thanks!

I've organised a home game for 24 friends and wanted to check a few things with you. It's a T5000 freeze-out tourney with each level set to 20 minutes.
Could you guys have a look over my blind structure and let me know if you think it will make for a decent game?
20 minute levels hoping to finish after 5 hours of play maximum

25 – 50
50 – 100
100 – 200
150 – 300
Colour up T25’s and Break (20 minutes)
200 – 400
300 – 600
400 – 800
500 – 1000
Colour up T100’s and break (10 minutes)
1000 – 2000
1500 – 3000
2000 – 4000
3000 – 6000
4000 – 8000

From what I understand, the game should finish between levels 11 and 12: 5000 x 24 = 120,000 x 4% = 4800 so when BB = approx 4800 game over.

I look forward to your advice

J

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
 1. Even out the breaks (15 min each instead of 10 and 20)
2. I think you have too many mid levels with blinds increasing by 200 and then a steep climb by doubling the blinds

Consider doing something like
200-400
300-600
500-1000
750-1500
1000-2000

Also consider using Ante at the higher levels

jyms has a spectacular aura aboutjyms has a spectacular aura aboutjyms has a spectacular aura about
 Homepokertourney.com , has blind charts, and chip up calculator. It also has a timer that you can run from your computer or a laptop, that will sound an alarm for blind increases. What I found useful was the chip charts for color coding, since some have trouble keeping track of the chip values, especially later in the tourney if you go back to an earlier color. You can print them out and have them at the tables, or just give them out.
