Tourney How would you fill up this tournament chip set? (2 Viewers)

[kidpurple]

This is the current state of my tournament chip set. I'd like to up fill up at least to 800 chips and probably even 1000. That is mostly just because I wanna fill up that 1000 case and these are cheap. Maybe it's because I've got those 5000 and 10000 not filling up a whole rack.

My games right now probably don't need any more chips. First game was only 12 players, 3000 starting stack, 3000 rebuys and addon. I think there were only 2 rebuys and all 12 addons. I know that was kinda short starting stack and might increase that.

I want this to at least cover up to a full two tables (20 players) with larger starting stacks. How would you fill in if going up to 800 chips? Up to 1000 chips? I'd prefer to keep full racks and not mix denoms if possible, except for top end (5Ks, 10Ks).

First thing is think you need decide on the specific of the tournament you want run. Things like starting stack, blind structure, rebuys?, etc

Once you got structure you’ll be able to efficiently fill out your tournament set

Played around with the calculator and maybe I'll go for something like this I guess...

Let’s say you wanna have a set that can cover 20 players, or 2 full tables.

Since you have a T25 base set, a typical buy-in would be T10k or T20k. 3k starting stacks sound way too shallow. 10k/20k breakdown:

T25 x 12
T100 x 12
T500 x 5
T1000 x 6
(T5000 x 2)

You need :

T25 x 240
T100 x 240
T500 x 100
T1000 x 120
(T5000 x 40)

To color up T25s and T100s you also need an additional:

30k in T1000 and/or T5000 chips

To cover for rebuys you’ll need additional T1000/T5000 to match estimated number of re-entries. Rebuys should not be original starting stack chips, there are enough small chips on the table already from where they can get change. Just hand out 5k/1k chips.

You do not need:

both 5k and 10k chips. And if doing a T25 base structure the 10k-chip is the unnecessary one. Next logical step up would be a 25k-chip but a smallish tournament like this does not require anything bigger than a 5k.
