If I follow the structure below (or something similar) (thanks USIreland), how many chips should I purchase if I will host a 20-25 person tourney? I would like to use T25/T100/T500/T1000 chips only. Would I need T5000 chips? Do tourneys really make past level 18?

Thanks


25-50
50-100
100-200
150-300 (remove 25's)
200-400
300-600
400-800
600-1200
800-1600
1000-2000
1500-3000(remove 100's and 500's)
2000-4000
3000-6000
4000-8000
6000-12000
8000-16000(remove 1000's)
10000-20000
15000-30000(remove 5000's)
20000-40000

Hi... i think if you host a tourney with 25 people and perhaps also a rebuy...T5000 chips would be useful if there 3 guys left at the end with a total of 250.000 chips.
So you have to decide if there will be any rebuys...then perhaps also some (really few) T10.000 would be useful.
try this tool...it is really helpful!

25 Green x 320
100 Black x 400
500 Purple x 160
1000 White x 120


total chips = 1000


STARTING STACKS

T10,000 for up to 20 people...
25 Green x 16 = 400
100 Black x 16 = 1600
500 Purple x 8 = 4000
1000 White x 4 = 4000

This leaves you with enough 100 black chips to color up the 25 green chips and enough 1000 white chips to color up the 100 black chips.



T5,000 for up to 40 people...
25 Green x 8 = 200
100 Black x 8 = 800
500 Purple x 4 = 2000
1000 White x 2 = 2000

This leaves you with enough 100 black chips to color up the 25 green chips and enough 1000 white chips to color up the 100 black chips.

Great, so now I have to spend over $1000 on the Matsuis .

Thanks - this is extremely helpful.

*EDIT* My mistake, $45 + shipping / taxes.
