need help for home tourney

[bobdogbobdog]

Hi

I just organised a home tourney yest night and got 37 players to show. Each player started with 1500 chips and the blind levels were 15 minutes each and as follows

10/20
20/40
30/60
40/80
50/100
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
1000/2000

However, i realised that for each blind level, there were very very few hands played coz it's so slow in live play, and by the time blinds got to about 100/200, it was more like a crap shoot ( all in or fold )

Also, the reason there were no 15/30 and 75/150 level was that there werent enough chips make give every1 5$ chips.

Any1 can give me some suggestions as to how i can make my tournament better?

Thanks alot
