Tourney WSOP blind schedule (modified for home game) (2 Viewers)

[krafticus]

I'm going to be running an WSOP satellite game (1 game for a $1000 seat and travel expenses).. Looking at some of the events, it looks like starting stacks range between 20k and 60k for the main event. I would like to use the same(ish) structure) as the event, and was planning on running 30 min blinds. Trying to figure out what the ideal starting stack is accounting for 30 min levels and the BB Ante every level for a game to last 8-10 hours tops. (including breaks/chip-ups).

Here is the structure I'd be using:
Senior Event Structure

Any thoughts? Assuming we'd make it to around level 21-24? Maybe Sooner with the BBA?

Anywhere from 200,000-533,333 total chips (divided between players) for levels 16 and 20 (8-10 hours with 30 minute levels). I'm not sure how many players you're having, but that's basic division.

15k stacks for 30 players should finish under 10 hours if using 30-minute blind levels.
