Nope, you're right it's both a 10-13 hour tournament, and very relaxed. That's exactly what I'm trying to achieve. We typically play 3 1 table T2000 tournaments every other week, culminating in a Tournament of Champions event I'll post about later.
I wanted something different that will showcase people's skills and patience (or lackthereof) more, in WSOP/WPT structure.

My reasoning:
10,000 * 16 ppl = 160,000
160,000 * 10% = 16,000
--and--
4000+8000+(2*1000) = 14,000 |
Yup, I found that formula too, and figure it will end at that level (16) or level 17.
Based on starting at 1pm, and my 10 minute breaks plus 45 minutes for dinner, that puts round 16 starting at 1:50am. I'd rather break at 11pm or 12am and finish the next day, but again only want the final five to have to come back.
Do you think appling that formula for 11 ppl would give a decent estimate for when we'd be down to the final five? That comes out to be level 15:
3000-6000 (1000). Just one level before the estimated end of the entire tournament.
Do you all think maybe stopping at a certain time/level regardless of players remaining is a better idea? Maybe day two can have longer blinds of 1 hour rather than 45 minutes.
