I currently have 400 chips:
120 white
120 blue
80 red
40 black
40 green
I'm expecting around 15 people (the numbers aren't finalised yet). Are these
enough chips? If not how much more of each colours should I look at getting.
Also is it better to have lots of small tables happening, or two big ones?

400 chips??? You should have over 1000 chips for 15 people. 2 big tables
will be better.

I recommend 8 green chips of $25 and 8 black chips of $100 for a total of
$1000 per player. You can have a third color for $5oo to be used in later
levels but I don't think you need it with 15 players. Blinds can start at
25-25, 25-50, 50-100 etc. |

Looking at your chip count I see you would have enough for 15 players if
white = 25 and blue = 100 |

The players will be making change all night long until blinds hit
100/200 and unless you jump to 200/400 your in for real trouble when
you hit the 150/300 level. |

Ask your players to bring chips. No one cares how "cool" the chips are
either. I bought two spindles of them at 15 bucks a piece at Wal-mart
when I first started hosting stuff at my house. They just want to
play.  |

It might be tight, but it can work.White = $25 (each player gets 8)Blue = $50
(each player gets 8)Red = $100 (each player gets 4)This should total T$1,000.
I'd go with 2 larger sized tables. Just make sure that you start combining the
tables once players begin to bust out so that you have equal number of players
at each table. You don't want 7 playing on one table and 5 on the other.
Instead you'd go with 6 and 6.

Assuming you want to play a single no-limit tournament, here's my
formula:
P Players
V Value of all big demonination chips (B sized chips) -- chip
denominations should all be 4x or 5x apart (1, 5, 25, 100, 500, 2500,
10000)
R Rebuys
V/(P+R) starting chips, rounded down to some convenient number so that
almost all the little chips are given out.
V/(P+R) for rebuys, rounded down to the nearest multiple of B and
slightly less than the starting value.
Final level blinds of V/100 and V/50, rounded up to the large chip.
Count backwards from these levels to 1/2, more or less halving the
blinds (but making sure one or the other is always one of your chip
denominations).
Example:
P = 12 players, R = 8 rebuys expected (one per player allowed)
600 chips set, of which 100 are black 100-chips (V = 10000), 60 are
blue
(not used), 90 are green (25s), 150 are red (5s) and 200 are white
(1s).
445 starting chips per player -- 2 black (200), 7 green (175) 11 red
(55)
and 15 white (15).
400 chips on rebuys -- all black, or three black plus smaller chips as
needed or available.
Final blinds of 100/200 starts at 10:00.
Counting blinds backwards: 50/100, 25/50, 10/25, 5/10, 2/5, 1/2 --
seven levels.
For a three hour tournament (180 minutes), levels should be 25 minutes.
Color up when blinds go to 5/10, to 25/50, and to 100/200 (rounding
up).
For your example, it's tricky -- you don't have that many chips. I'd
do this:
Make the 120 blue chips be 100s, so you have V=12000, P=15, and R=10
(you may want to fix the number of rebuys to "the first ten players
busted"). Black and green are both 25s, reds are 5s, and whites are 1s
465 to each player to start -- 3 blue, 5 black/green, 6 red, and 10
white.
400 for rebuys, one per player, first ten players only.
200/400 as your final level, meaning your blinds are 1/2, 2/5, 5/10,
10/25, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200, and 200/400 -- eight levels. If you
want a two hour tournament, make them 15 minutes each.
If you have no rebuys, then P = 15 and R = 0, so start the players with
790: 6 blue, 6 black/green, 6 red, and 10 white. That'll deal out 90
of your blue chips to start and leave 3000 in blue chips with which to
cash in the 2850 in other chips. Perfect!
I'd advise two tables and combine them as soon as there are few enough
to fit around the largest table (then the other guys can start a cash
game on the other table with the little chips that have been colored
out of the game).
Have fun.
