Default Suggestions for Tourney Structures in Florida

I thought it may be good to list some suggestions for desired tourney structures. I know there are a few Card Room managers, Dealers, Tourney Directors that monitor this site and may appreciate hearing from the players (LOL) as to what we would like to see in terms of:
Buy-ins
Rebuys
starting chip counts, etc.

I'll start by suggesting a 4 table (10 players per)
$75(tourney fee) Buyin with 1 rebuy up to the 3rd level.
T5000
Blinds 100/200
15 minute levels
blind dble each level
Ante 100 at 1000/2000 level Ante dbles each level
Payout top 4 or 5 depending on rebuys
Could start at 6:00 and be done before midnight

They need 45 minute structres at the very least and nothing more than an 11% rake!!!

LONGER STRUCTURES and LESS RAKE!!

Each place should plan on having at least ONE big tourney per week/month.

Again, with very good structures, decent stacks, and nothing more than an 11% rake!

Fish most these places are only open 12 hours. 45 min blinds would take 9 hours or more. Most of them go to the 5000-100000 level when you are at the final table (many of the times more). That would take 9 hours to get to that level (not counting breaks). I think 30 min would be the longest they could feasible do. Unless the starting stack was 2500 or so. I would rather have longer blind levels because I think I can outplay 70% of the people in these rooms but I just dont think it is doable for these tracks.

Until we physically see multiple Florida B&M card room directors posting on 2p2 ASKING for our opinions, I think this thread is a waste of time.

From a business perspective this would be horrible.

This would require a team of 4 dealers always be available which would decrease the hourly rate of the dealers and would be a poor use of staff. In addition, why would any business want to limit it's income to just 40 players when they could easily fill up more tables with players who are willing to spend money on rake and food/beverage.

Don't look to see things common in online rooms replicated in a live environment. You're not likely to see multi-table SNGs beyond, perhaps, 2 table games... and I think even those are a stretch. There are certain types of games that online rooms can offer easily that you won't often see replicated in a live environment where the cost/proper use of labor and bottom lines are a major factor.

Just because they don't post, doesn't mean they don't read here. I know of some that do read 2+2.
