I don't find the format of this comparision very intituitive. I've been looking at this question for some time, with the objective of creating an way to more absloutely rank structures, of both online (and evuentually live) tournaments. What I did was find the fractional blind per hand you pay in a tournament, and calculate how long it takes for your starting stack to be paid in blinds. The result is given as as a single number for each format. Starting stacks, blind structure, level time, seats/table and hands/hour are the variables. 60 hands/hour was used as a constant for online, but using this formulation, it can be used to compare live tourns, and perhaps even SNG's and rebuy's... is there anything fundamentally wrong with this thinking? The results are basically the same as burningyen's, but imo more intitutive. I was just going to post it all, but saw this thread beat me to it!
