Blind Structure ... What do you think?

sweetjimmi

What do you think of this blind structure? This will be used for a $100 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout tourney with approx. 100 players. There will be non-playing dealers at each table. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Starting Chips = $100, Levels are 30 minutes.

Make it

5/10
Break
5/15 or 10/15 (I'd suggest 5/15)

and chip up at the end of 5/10.*

Colouring up chips during a break is much easier.

Also, if you have enough of the right chip types, people would probably think that multiplying everything by 10 would be cooler.

*Even though you could theoretically colour up at the end of 4/8.

I was thinking 10/15 or 5/15 but couldn't decide hence the 7/15. I agree that 7 is a bit wacky and will go with the 5/15 level. Thanks for the suggestions.

1 change. Other than that it looks okay.

LoL...good eye!!! Missed that completely! Should I remove the 40/80 level or just do the chip up at that point.
