Tex's TEARS Poker Blinds Schedules

Tex's TEARS (Tournament Evaluation and Rating System) started out as a way to analyze poker tournament blinds schedules to rate the playability of a poker tournament. Believe it or not, several years ago, poker tournament schedules were all over the map, some tournaments used schedules that were fine, but others used blinds schedules that were truly horrible and adversely affected the way that a tournament had to be played. Some blinds increased so drastically that it made the entire tournament a crap shoot, the luckiest player would often win. Tex Morgan set out to standardize poker tournament blinds schedules so that a player knew what to expect when attending a tournament. The Tex's TEARS schedules and starting chip amounts provide a gradual increase in the blinds levels and players know what to expect when these blinds schedules are used.

Notes about the Tex's TEARS schedules:
Time may be added to later levels if the average chip count becomes too low.
If the buy-in is 1000 or larger, the number of starting chips = the buy-in amount.
If the buy-in is less than 1000 with no re-buys, the number of starting chips = 1000.
If the buy-in is less than 500 with re-buys, the number of starting chips = 500.
The number of re-buy chips = the number of starting chips.
The number of add-on chips = twice the starting chips.
