Tourney Need help with chip breakdown for T15000/T30000 (1 Viewer)

[maniac308]

Hey guys im ordering from the Dunes pre-order. I just need help figuring out the break down for these two tournaments... Im assuming if you have enough for a T30000, you'll have enough for the T15000. I need enough chips to hold an 20 person tourney that lasts 5-6 hours. The group I deal with will probably buy in a good amount, i want to say at least 7 people will rebuy in (we usually do unlimited buy-ins for the first 4 rounds). There will also be an optional add-on after the first break (first 4 rounds). I usually do half the original stack for that, but if you have a better idea please tell me!

Thank you guys

What I've done for my T15k for 20 people with rebuys:

12 x T25 = 240 (T300)
12 x T100 = 240 (T1200)
5 x T500 = 100 (T2500)
11 x T1000 = 220 (T11,000) OR 6 x T1000 and 1 x T5000
This has worked well, and I use 1k/5k chips for rebuys. Lots of 500s for color ups. In my new set, I went back to only 100 T500s. You don't need a ton if you have T500-T1000 transition.
I have a 300/300/180/300/60 setup for T25/100/500/1000/5000 chips.
This puts lots of chips in players hands at the beginning of the night. I could pull out more T5000 to push up the tourney to T30000, but honestly, the T25 becomes really useless at that point. Alternatively, T25/T100 can go 8/8 for larger tournaments.

How long your tourney lasts is not dependent on your starting stack but rather the relationship of blinds to total chips in play.
