This is a blind schedule which we use at our tournaments. The tournaments last on average 3 1/2 hours. There are usually three tables of either 8 or 9 people. We allow unlimited rebuys for the first two hours.

The game is interesting because on average there is two games; the first two hour game and then the game which starts after the rebuy period ends. It actually works out well because it allows anyone to play for a couple hours and have fun. The buy-in is usually $20 so a couple rebuys isn't a lot. But it ends up really playing (moneywise) like a $40-$60 buyin tournament. This works great for the people who do not have much experience because one mistake doesn't send them home in five minutes.

20 Minute Break (chip up remove $25)

20 400 800
20 800 1500
20 1500 3000
20 3000 6000
20 6000 12000
20 12000 20000
20 20000 40000
20 40000 80000

It may look like at first glance the blinds after the break are very aggressive. However, with all the rebuys there are usually 2 to 3 times the starting chip stack in play. So, there is actually a lot of room for maneuvering left.
