So I am going to be getting a game going soon...

With antes it will probably end after about 3 hours. Up til that point the structure looks ok. Afterwards the blind levels are a bit wacky. Typically 7x, 9x, 11x, 13X levels are not used. If you look at WSOP or WPT structures you will never see these types of levels.

Also, typically when you add in antes, you leave the blinds the same for that level.

For a 3 hour T5000 tournament with 9 players I would do something like this:
Blind Structure
Level Small Blind Big Blind Antes
1 25 50 -
2 50 100 -
3 75 150 -
4 100 200 -
5 150 300 -
6 150 300 25
7 200 400 50
8 250 500 50
9 300 600 75
10 400 800 100
11 600 1200 100
12 800 1600 200

Also you probably don't need the 50 or 1000 chips for a T5000.
