Structure Calculator – Australian Poker Schedule

By entering just a few pieces of information from a structure sheet, this structure calculator can analyse how good a poker tournament's structure is. It will calculate the withheld % (money from a buy-in that's not going to the prize pool) and S-Points (Structure Points).The more S-Points the better (more starting chips, longer levels, slower blind increases).

This structure calculator is intended for No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha and similar variants eg. Pineapple, Royal Hold'em, Short Deck.

Not intended for Mixed Games, Shoot-Out, or Heads-up staged events where stacks re-set.

S-Points = [Starting Stack Minutes]/([Level 10 Orbit Cost]/[Level 6 Orbit Cost] + [Level 14 Orbit Cost]/[Level 10 Orbit Cost] + [Level 18 Orbit Cost]/[Level 14 Orbit Cost])

Orbit Cost = [Small Blind] + [Big Blind] + [Big Blind Ante]
