I downloaded an excel spreadsheet that calculates the Patience Factor and Skill Factor for tournaments based on the structure. I plugged your numbers in. Click here to see the screenshot.
Hit me up at gadzooks64 at gmail dot com if you want the spreadsheet.
P.S. I hate antes in home games. Really slows things down but that's just a personal preference.
So, when your final table starts at Level 9 four hours in - 180K chips in play/9 players - 20K avg stack, which is 8BB? Yeah, I don't think you'll have any problem finishing that off in an hour.
Jump from level 5 to 6 (400) then 7 (200) seems odd. - you probably meant to go to 400/800/100 in L6, then 600/1200/200 in L7.
Alternately, how about a structure that starts a touch shallower early but bumps up more gradually?
50/100 100/200 150/300/25 bk 200/400/50 300/600/75 400/800/100 bk color up 25s 600/1200/200 800/1600/200 bk 1000/2000/300 2000/4000/500
yeah,it's a little shallow early, but it smooths out the level jumps a bit, except for the final table.
Zooks, I totally overlooked the total cost per round with the antes, so I think I will tweak that. Thanks for pointing out that spreadsheet. It really helped.
Heffmike, you are right. I think level 7 is actually wrong. I may go BB 400 then 600 then 1000 then 1600. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
I'll post the final and how it went after next Wednesday.
I forgot to mention that this will be for 13 tournaments over 10 months for the same 36 players, with all at least average or above average skill level.

I think this will play faster than you think.

I LOVE the feedback. Thanks.

well, at least 35 of them have average or above avg skill?
