Blinds
Blinds are subject to change, at the Tournament Director's discretion, based on the number of player at the dinner break.
Initial seating starts with 5,000 in chips but players may purchase "rebuys" in unlimited quantity at any time. (AKA you can chip up prior to start)
Rebuys: $10 = 5,000 until round 4, then $20 = 5000 until dinner. Add-ons (Firesale at Dinner): $20 = 10,000, buy 3 get 1 free.
We will use the Single Big Blind Ante starting in round 8. Only the Big Blind will put in an ante which is equal to the Small Blind. This will not only speed up the game but will be cheaper per person considering that ante would be rough 20% per player. Example: round 8 would have antes of 1600 (20% of the big blind) each hand for a total of 14,000 in a round of hands. Using the Single Big Blind you only pay 4000 for the round of hands.

The blind structure is designed to have a slow pace in the beginning (allows everyone to play for fun), a gradual increase in the middle, and then studily increasing!
