[Invigilator]

Thank you for all your replies.

The reason I did not mention anything about lenght of levels, is because that is my time control variable.

We start at 8 pm and try to be done before midnight. Once I know how many chips are in play in the tournment, I adjust the blinds (sometimes) and the level length (more often) to create a situation where the big blind represents 10% of the chips in play by about 11:30 at night. That usually means that we are in heads up play by then.

The set I got is very flexible for starting amounts and the number of people we can accomodate. Time is the critical factor for most of my guests. For this monthly event there is only one tournament. It is kind of like a league. For those with nothing better to do once knocked out we have side games, board games, Euchre and general partying.

The game is tonight. Maybe I will have a significant hand to post tomorrow.
