Re: suggestions?
With the structure you have, you only need $5 chips for the first two rounds -- a little odd. Also the BB gets to be 10% of your stack pretty quick. You might consider doing T1000 and making the blinds start at 5/10 or 10/15. Maybe:
5/10
10/15
15/25
20/40
30/60
color up reds
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
color up greens
200/400
300/600
500/1000
800/1500
1200/2500
color up blacks and purples
2000/4000
3000/6000
5000/10000
etc.
I use a similar setup for tournaments in the ballpark of 20-30 people and it works well. This should give a relatively slow start but the blinds pick up after the first 90 minutes or so which forces action if the tournament has been progressing conservatively so far. The smart players will see this coming and start to loosen up before the blinds get aggressive.
For the smaller tournaments of 10-16 you might consider 20-minute rounds instead of more chips.
Just my thoughts. Good luck.
