Chip Distribution

I am currently developing a tool that will generate chip distribution for tournament's. It will also make a generic blind schedule because that needs to go hand in hand with distribution of starting chips. I have some logic written down, but I would like to get some input from everyone to make sure I'm not doing something stuped.

Here is what information that is prompted by the program:

# of players?
starting chip count?
rebuys allowed?
chip count of rebuy?
estimated rebuys? (eg: if you run a regular tournament, you may know about how many rebuys you need)
add-ons allowed?
chip count of add-on?
estimated add-on's? (same idea as estimated rebuys)
Aggressive or normal blind schedule (based on http://www.homepokertourney.com/blinds_samples.htm )

Per Chip Color
  • Chip color
  • # of chips
  • Value of chips

From there I would like to build a blind schedule and distribute starting chip colors/numbers for each player and for the rebuys/add-on's. I would do some extra stuff like figure out which level of the tournament you can chip up certain colors etc.

Does anyone have any input (maybe some math) that could help me out a bit? It doesn't have to be perfect, I just want it to be a guide.
