The total starting chips is actually 8K, not 5K, but in your "I want 40k 30min blinds at minimum," you left out the most important element...the progression of the blind structure.
If you had a $40K starting stack and 30 minute blinds and put it with our structure, the tournament would last about 18-20 hours...Is that the kind of event you're looking for? Maybe if we were doing a bigger, two-day event.
Tournaments are not all about how many chips you start with or how long the limits are. When you start with $40K and then the blinds start at 100/200 and then they double almost every limit, it really doesn't matter that you started with that many chips. I mean, I can write a structure where I give you half a million in starting chips. But then we'll start the blinds at 1000/2000 and go from there.
It's about the progression of the structure and the blind limits relative to the total chips in play. It's easy to offer inflated starting stacks with rapidly advancing limits...but it doesn't make it a good tournament.
Best,
