You just give it the information (# of players, # of chips, how long you want the tourney to run for, etc.) and it tells you how much to give your players and keeps the time for you.

For an example of a good tournament structure, check out the structure at the Showboat (no rebuys) or the Orleans (rebuys). Bad structures: Ceasar's AC, almost any poker room on the strip. The bad (and by bad I mean short) structures tend to increase the blinds by 50-100%, as opposed to 25-33% in the better structures. They also tend to start antes sooner, double antes every level, and/or move antes and blinds up simultaneously. 1) Jordan, you must not be very far out of law school, because your “Johnny Poker” example reads just like a hypo from an Examples & Explanations text.

I usually just do the total chips in play/BB to see at what level we reach shovefest mode. Good pointers about some of the other stuff. Thanks J.
