Varied Level Lengths

Post by Pamela »

Would love the option to vary the lengths of the levels so that they could get shorter the deeper the tournament goes. We run a lot of tournaments for newbies, so the longer lengths are great during the rebuy period while they're still figuring things out, but would like to make the structure more aggressive in the latter half.

You could make all your levels short but early on have two or three in a row that keep the same blinds.

I’d like to run tournaments with 8 min levels and then 10 min levels after late registration is over. You’re asking me to have find the common denominator (2) and run all 2 min levels & making it appear as though there’s 100+ total levels in the tournament?

Why bother with such an insignificant change?

How about 8 min levels to 12 min levels? not insignificant as its a 50% increase in level length. Im being forced to make the tournament with 61 levels where normally it would be 25. Can it be done? Sure. Is it aesthetically pleasing? No.

Rather than confuse your players with changing level durations (which is not supported), you can just adjust the rate of increase in the blinds as you see fit.
