Signup for August Heads up Tourney....?

[Talking Poker]

Ok, here's how this is going to work:

If we get exactly 32 participants (we won't), yeah for us! If we have LESS than 32, some people will get byes into Round 2. If we have MORE than 32, some people will have to play in a preliminary round to see who moves on to Round 1.

I will determine how it all shakes out and who falls where. This will be mostly based on post count, but not entirely. Overall post quality (purely subjective, as seen by me) will also come into play. Not to name names, but yes, while kkirk has loads more posts than Kurn, for example, I don't think there is a single member of this forum who would disagree with me when I say Kurn has contributed more. So if it came down to those two (it won't, but hypothetically), kkirk would have to play in the preliminary round (or Kurn would get the bye, as the case may be).

I've just started the process of finding us a host for this tourney. I'm going to make sure the prize pool is at least $100, plus probably some other goodies. I'm hoping one of the poker sites will pony up some cash for our business, but if not, I will.

Right now, let's just keep this list going so we can have everything ready to go by August 1st.

Oh, one other thing.... I'll write up all the details later, but right now, I'm thinking we'll give each pair 3-4 days to play their match. If they can't come up with a time that's good for both of them, we'll have to deal with it. In most cases, whichever guy wasn't able to play (or disappeared completely, which I supect will happen) will forfeit. I guess we'll handle it on a case by case basis. Worst case scenario, we'll vote to see who moves on. By the time we get to the Round of 8, if not sooner, I doubt this will be a problem any more.

This is going to be WAY cool. There's still some big names missing from the list though. Come on, people - step up!

Have we decided if this is a 2 out 3 series per round or 1 wins it?

Also have we decided if its double elimination or single?

Also GREAT idea about post quality TP. That has to be considered

PS: Ive done these brackets for several years (college beer pong tournaments lol) so if u need any help with breaking down the extra matches/byes, lemme know Im a wiz by now

Hey Kinger... Welcome to the forum. How did you find us?

[lightfungus]

He found us through me! He went allin on me after my PF raise, the board was like 246 or something and I had Jacks he goes all in in front, i called he hits ace on turn. I said lame, he said "what your call?" then we went at it. Then we started talking and this led to that and now hes here...cool huh.

[Talking Poker]

Very cool. Well done
