Each level is 20 minutes of play

As the amount of the blind increase, lower denominations chips are taken out of play by coloring up to the next denomination. Players then "Race" for the odd chips. For example, after the first round the five-dollar (red) chips are taken out of play. If you had six five-dollar chips you would color up five for one $25 (green) chip. The odd chip is place in front of you. The dealer deals you a card for each odd chip you have. The person with the highest card wins the odd chips, which are converted, to the next denomination. In this case the green chips. This is repeated as the tournament progresses.
