    Approx 15 minute blind levels, $5000 starting chips, 10-20 starting blind levels should put you around 4 hours if I remember correctly.

    IF you have dealers you should be able to get roughly 1 orbit per blind level.

      thanks down, pretty much found something very similar online, im gona tweak it a bit. we r doing 8 handed tables i think, the players are gona deal and the small blind will shuffle the next hand so we should be able to maximize play time.

        Sounds fun. Of course it will be a work in progress. just dont get frustrated. Also, recommend find a good clock/timer specifically for poker tourneys on internet. If this is something you plan on doing more than once you will kinda feel your way thru it, tweak things here and there and eventually get what you want. Me and a buddy of mine used to run a decent poker tourney every other week followed by a nice 5/10 game following. Was a lot of fun.

        Good Luck

          its for a local club for some charity event but if it goes well they will be having more regular tournaments.

          this one is gona be a little more fast paced since its a small buy in, ive always been a fan of keeping the same structure tho and adding time to blind levels for bigger buy ins.
