Have they ever considered having blind structures not set in stone? Make it table or mixture of player styles dependent. If the players came to play and are busting out quickly, use more gradual blind increases. On a table where all the players are folding and trying to chip up, use steep increases. Allow the TD flexibility to decide which is appropriate for that final table.

That idea has corruption written all over it. With hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake, some people would "tip" the tournament directors to get a more favorable structure for their personal style of play.

The structure should be independent of any one person's decision, or how the players are playing. What if eight players are playing one way, but one player has a different strategy? Should he or she be punished because he or she is in the minority?

The structures should definitely be set in stone (or at least printed on paper) before a tournament begins. A variable structure determined by the play or the TD is a bad idea, in my opinion.
