I developed a tournament structure and would like everyones input and opinion.
Starting chip value: $1,000 per player
Re-buy chip value: $1,000 per player
Add-on chip value: $1,000 per player after the 4th round
No re-buys or add-ons after the 4th round

23 $2,500 - $5,000 20 Min
24 $3,000 - $6,000 20 Min
Usually it does not go past the 21st round and the tournament goes from 6:30 pm to 12:30 or 1:00 in the morning.
My question is this; "should I keep it at $1,000 in chips or bump it up to $1,500 in chips"? My reasoning for this question; more people can stay in and play longer.
Looking for feed back.
Thanks in advance.
