This is a little confusing. Your first question your asking should a rebuy be worth the amount of an average stack? So if the tourny has been running for 45 minutes and the average stack is 8k, you can rebuy for 8k? Assuming that 100% was the option you select.

Yes. My assumptions are these:

a) That the average stack in the first few rounds will be close to the starting stack (not a factor of 3x). So, in your example, I'm guessing the original stack would have been around T7000- 7500. If that is incorrect, let me know.

b) That when you rebuy, you are supposed to evaluate the rebuy stack vs. the average stack that it will be facing, not necessarily the starting stack.

If either reasoning is poor, let me know and I can try putting together a corrected poll.

If you are trying to encourage rebuys, that's one way to do it. But I think you are giving too much power to the rebuyer. The rebuyer shouldn't be rewarded for rebuying and automatically be thrust to average stack size. In a typical Stars rebuy tourny at the end of the rebuy hour, the average stack size is anywhere from 3-7 time the starting stack size.

Also, if you are rebuying at 100% average stack size, how are you going to track this as the tournament progresses. Obviously I'm waiting/stalling to push allin until the allin on the next table finishes up so that my rebuy stack will be a few chips heavier.

I think you have to make the rebuy stack a % of the starting stack whether it be more or less would be up to you. I think Stars has a nice rebuy system, I would model after that.
