the jump from 50/100 to 100/200 is too steep. 75/150 would be perfect. i assume you have $25 chips in play, so that would do it. if not then use something like 70/140.

i think 20min blind levels are minimum. i prefer 30mins but i dont know what your timelimit is, and w/ that many players you need to put pressure on everybody so the tourney wont last forever.

use 2 decks of cards per table to speed up play. when a hand is over, the dealer of the last hand collects and shuffles all the cards and hands the deck to SB in the current hand, who will be dealer the next hand. SB then cuts cards. back of the cards have to be colored differently to avoid trouble.
