Blind Schedules
Thought I would find a post with the blinds listed, but alas, I am not wise in the way of the search, also known as lazy, Could someone please direct me to a site or a post where blind schedules for a 8-10 person game. Thanks

Blinds can vary drastically depending on how many chips you want to start with, and as BlondeFish loves to talk about the infamous "patience factor" and "skill level" you are looking to have.
He wants to start about 8:30 and finish by 11:00
I suggested 4000 as the starting chip count.
does this arm you with enough info to suggest a blind schedule?
Thanks again

We'll you don't have a lot of time, so I would suggest using $5000 starting chips, and the following structure
Small Blind Big Blind Ante Minutes in Level
1 $25 $50 20
2 $50 $100 20
3 $100 $200 20
4 $200 $400 20
5 $400 $800 20
6 $800 $1,600 20
7 $1,000 $2,000 20
8 $1,500 $3,000 20
9 $2,000 $4,000 20
10 $2,500 $5,000 20
This will be a bit of crapshoot; but it pretty much guaruntees the tournament will end around 11. The tournament will end most likely between levels 7 and 9.
I'm not sure if this is the best structure; but it should work for you.
Anybody have a better setup to suggest?
Try these blinds with 20 min levels.

Drop the breaks and the 25/25 level and use $4000 chips. You should finish with only one colour up.

That's because nobody did the Zithal Chant that would automatical call forth the Blind Master!
Very True, I wasn't paying attention to that. I had some other levels in there when I first came up with that schedule, and some antes later on; but got rid of them due to the time restraints.
Those look good, If he only has 8-10 players, 4 hours should be reasonable don't you think?
I think I will end up dealing this, with a dealer I think it ends quicker too.
The skill level of the players will be quite varied, given the proper shuffle, 2 hands could end this!!! lol
