So most of my group generally doesn't play tournaments higher than $20 (and even then, it's usually $10). However I was trying to come up with a direct buyin setup for the $20 buyin (or a $10 + rebuys setup) that would make up for the shorter starting stack and rise more slowly... let me know what you think.

('c' stands for cents)
first two levels 30 minutes, 20 after that.
SB / BB --- (no antes used in my group, i tried and they rejected)
25c / 25c
25c / 50c
50c / $1
75c / $1.5
$1 / $2
$1.5 / $3
$2 / $4
$2.5 / $5
COLOR UP 25c CHIPS
$3 / $6
$4 / $8
$5 / $10
$6 / $12
$8 / $16
$10 / $20
--- Freeze blinds here ---

There'd only be 10 people so with $200 on the table I don't want the blinds to get any higher. How does this look to you guys for either 10 + rebuys or 20 freezeout?

the structure looks good, though the first bb of 25c is a bit high if your starting stack is $10; the stack is only 40xbb.

the progression of the blinds are nice and slow...just the way i like 'em

my guess, with $20 freezeout & 10 players, it should end around $4/$8, so capping your blinds at 10/20 is moot

Structure looks good, but I would try and reintroduce the antes. My group declined them at first and I then I told them we were going to play a tourney with them. Afterwards it clicked with a few of them that if they are shortstacked and try to steal the blinds and antes that it can be very lucrative.
