| Help with tournament structure and antes
I just got my New Yorker chips, and I need a good structure for my tournaments. Here is my breakdowns, and my first attempt at a good structure. I have listed here my chip breakdowns for up to 20 players, although our tournaments rarely exceed 8 players so Im focusing the structure on that. In the future if we have large tournaments I can tweak the structure a bit. I really want to incorporate antes into the tournament.
Chip Set:
160 - $.25
175 - $1
165 - $5
Starting stacks = $50
Up To 8 Players
=============
20 x $.25
20 x $1
05 x $5
9-10 Players
=============
16 x $.25
16 x $1
06 x $5
11-13 Players
=============
12 x $.25
12 x $1
7 x $5
14-20 Players
=============
8 x $.25
8 x $1
8 x $5
And here is the structure. I feel like the antes are kinda all over the place. They go from 1/8th, to 1/12th, to 1/10th, to 1/7th, then back to 1/10th. Also, I know I could color up the $.25 after level 2, but I like having alot of chips on the table, and I want to start using the antes early in the game, if I color up I really couldnt use antes until at least level 5. I also think the pace really takes off towards the end, which might make make for a crapshoot late in the tournament. Any suggestions are appreciated.
STRUCTURE
=============
$.25/$.50
$.50/$1
$1/$2 - $.25
$2/$4 - $.50
$3/$6 - $.50
COLOR UP $.25
$5/$10 - $1
$7/$14 - $2
$10/$20 - $2
$15/$30 - $3
$20/$40 - $4
$25/$50 - $5
$30/$60 - $6  | 
Linear Mode
