500$ chips to start in a no limit holdum tourney... should i cap the blinds at a certain point? or keep increasing them?

$5/$10 0-30min
$10/$20 30-60min
$15/$30 60-90min
$25/$50 90-120min
$50/$100 120-150min
$75/$150 150-180min
$100/$200 180-210min
$150/$300 210-240min
$200/$400 240-270min
$300/$600 270->min


should i just leave it at 300/600 once the tourney gets to that point? or should i cap it lower... or keep incrementally raising the blinds... just curious... because im expecting about 16 entrees... so there will be 8000$ in chips on the final table...

200-400 or 300-600 is a good cap with that many chips in play. From my experience, it is unlikely that you'll get to that level with 16 players and only T500 to start.

Here is what I plan to do for my tourney in about 3 weeks. I am expecting about 20 people and will be starting with T1000. I know it seems kinda extreme. Limits go up rather quickly with antes thrown in rather soon and the rounds get shorter. I may change that some. But the reason is that I will have probably 50 total people at my house that night and I'm guessing that by the end of the evening I'm going to want them to start going. So hopefully we can have this thing done by midnight with only a side game or two going on past that.
