Re: What are your requirements for rebuying?
Rebuy tournaments come in different variaties; the typical online (and a lot of B & M) allows for a rebuy as soon as your stack is at starting level or below. In consequence the effective starting stack of anybody who cares will be two times the amount of chips you get when you buy in to the tournament. Typically these structures will offer an add-on the same size or higher than the amount of chips you get when you rebuy.
Another popular format is a one-rebuy only, and you can take the rebuy at any point until the first break. Here you frequently get 2 - 3 times the number of chips you started with.
In most rebuy tournaments with unlimited rebuys the amount of chips in play litterally explodes throughout the first couple of levels, since most players consider it advantageous to gamble and accumulate as many chips as possible with little concern about the cost.
I hope this cleared things somewhat up for you.
