I'm planning a 16 man T10,000 tourney at the end of next month. Blinds will start at 25-50 and increase every 45 minutes. Antes will start at level 5. (125 buy in; pay top 5: 800/475/325/225/175)
I'll also have 10 minute breaks every three rounds, and a 45 minute dinner break after level 7 (coinciding with the green chip race off).

We'll start at 1pm on Saturday, and I'd like to play down to the final five, and then stop for the night and restart at 2pm Sunday. Is this possible/realistic?

I'm guessing the event will last through roughly round 17. That's about 14 hours including all the breaks. I would really prefer not to have people come back the next day if they're not in the money. I just don't know if there's a way to roughly estimate when we'd get down to the top 5.

I'll post the entire blind schedule I'm using if it'll help, but it's just the Foxwoods NEPC main event schedule.
