When I played in the $1,000 event at the WSOP a couple of years ago, we got only 3,000 in chips, but the blinds went 25/25, 25/50, and so on, rising every hour. LOTS of play.

Blatant, "I played in the WSOP" brag imho ;)
Can"t believe you didn"t mention the fact that you cashed Joe.

I really couldn"t wait any longer and bowing to extreme pressure from my better half, I"ve been forced to book my holidays between 27 July and 11 Aug... I"m desperately hoping I won"t miss anything important in the APAT calendar such as DTD... :(

dwh103:
Any starting chip changes comes down to simple maths as to whether it"d be beneficial. A 50% increase would lead to the whole tournament taking around 1-2 hours longer (if a tournament with 10k chips finished when the blinds hit x then with 15k chips you"d need to reach blinds of 1.5x to reach the same point in respect of stack depth).
Ideally you need enough time for stack sizes to diverge before the structure puts pressure on those who still have their starting chips. With 10k this is around level 7/8, and with 15k would be around level 9/10.
Whilst the increase would still be beneficial to the overall tournament, and everyone gets a bit more play it probably wouldn"t make a whole lot of difference. I think it would be nice to have >100BBs for an extra level but that"s just down to the kind of player I am!
I wouldn"t mind seeing earlier starts however, regardless of structure if this were possible.
