Looks very slow and flat to me. Not too much pressure with the blinds. How long are your levels???
The one thing I see is a T5000 with 6 players should end around 1000/2000. I have a T5000 tourney I run in the home game that usually is done around 600/1200, or may just tiptoe into 1000/2000. That said, here's the structure we use.
SB/BB
25/25 (sometimes... depends on start time and when we think we might finish)
25/50
50/100
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600 (levels go to 15 minutes)
400/800
500/1000
600/1200 (thinking of changing this to 700/1400)
1000/2000 (by this time, we're well into heads up)
20 minute levels until the switch at 300/600. We do this as we're usually down to three or four by this time. We could run these at 20 minutes, but we usually want to wrap up to start the after tournament cash game (and we can get nearly two orbits in per level if we stay on the ball).
Just some food for thought.
P.S. There is a thread where people have posted the structures they use that work. I'm certain that is where I snagged this one, thought did tweak the level times.
