this breakdown of chips. 8-10 people 3-4 hrs long

25 - 160
100 - 200
500 - 120
1000 - 100
5000 - 20

I use this structure when I play T5000 tourneys:

25	50
50	100
75	150
100	200
150	300
200	400
300	600
400	800
600	1200
800	1600
1000	2000
1500	3000
2000	4000

Should end around the 800/1600 or 1000/2000 Level (using the 4% rule) and using 20 minute blinds should last about 4 hours (with breaks).

I use the same structure but I take out the 150/300 and add a 500/1000. This allows a color up of the 25s after only 3 rounds, generally the time of the first break.

I use the same as links, plus big mikes 500/1000, plus a 25/25 round to start.
Ends around 1000/2000 level.

This is what I play with T5000. Each level is 20. It should last about 3 hours. Each player get

8 T25, 8 T100, 6 T500, and 1 T1000

25 50
50 100
100 200

Color up T25

200 400
300 600
400 800

Color up T100

500 1000
1000 2000
2000 4000
3000 6000

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with this structure, but it's quite aggressive having the blinds double so often so early. Just my 2 cents. Again, I'm not saying it's wrong...just different.

I agree with you that it is aggressive, it only start when it hit 1000/2000. By then the tournament is in over 2 hours.

Just a note the blind schedule I took is right from Planet Hollywood. As you may know, the casino don't have you to sit there for more then 4 hours.

If you want to last more then 4 hours just double To T10,000.

This blind schedule will reduce limper.

We use this structure, 20 minute blinds. Similar, a little less aggressive than the last one posted.
