Rules for a small tournament? |

Ok we are having a tournament with 16-20 people. We wanted to lay down some ground rules to make sure everyone was on the same page.
It will be a no limit game, $5 small blind $10 big blind.
Dealer burns a card before the flop turn & River.
If you raise you must raise equal or more than the current bet.
Any suggestions on raise limits? Certain amount of raises per betting round etc?
Any rules I am not thinking of that should be laid out before we start? Time limits?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Only advice I can think of is raise the blinds every certain amount of time. We usually have 6 to 10 people so we have 3 or 4 different tourneys with smaller buy-ins and we give out a certain amount of chips and play until one guy has it all. We also double the blinds every 15 min so they only last about an hour. Then we do it all again. We use a four bet cap per betting round.

by a 4 bet cap does that mean no person can bet more then 4 times per round?

I mean say it's a limit game pre-flop. The bet is $5. The next person raises to $10. The next person raises to $15. The next raises to $20 then the bet is capped for that round. That's how most of the sites I play at work as well. I don't play a lot of no-limit so I'm not quite sure how that works.

May I suggest a time limit? I played in a tourney last weekend and had a player that took 10 minutes every time it was his turn to play. Even when he was just checking in as big blind he took that long or longer. I highly recommend that you set a time limit on the action. In the 14 1/2 hours our game lasted I saw fewer flops then I'd see in 1 hour playing online. Just a suggestion.

ok so its capped at a certain amount of raises, gotcha! 
And I agree a time limit on your turn is a good idea. What's normal 1 minute, 2 minutes?

Yeah a couple of minutes should be plenty of time. If they haven't figured out the math or decided what they need by then it's taking WAY too long.

If it's a no limit game there are no raise limits. That's what makes it no limit
