Heads Up Tournament

Culchie

Can we do this again, it was great fun last time around.... The Boards Heads Up Tournament

Pokerstars?

5starpool

I'll go for it if it is played on stars....

Gholimoli

im in

Culchie

Actually, I shouldn't have even mentioned Stars as it doesn't matter, as long as the two opponents agree.

It was great stuff last year.

Iceman78

Im up for it.

Dub13

Go on then.

Ste05

Ye sounds like a great idea, it was the only event I missed at last years BCOOP, so I'd love to have a go..

Hawk Eye

Sounds great I'd be up for it.

May I suggest a format: I think the recent NBC heads up championship was great where there was 64 players alotted into four groups clubs,diamonds,hearts and spades. This way there will be a bit more banter between players on which group is better and people can take bets on which group the winner comes from. It will also work well with 32 players.
Maybe the first 2-3 rounds can be online and than as we get closer to the winner have them live somewhere.

Something like this.

Sounds great.
It would have to be a fully online tournament so that all the boardsters can play, not just the Jackeens:)

banter won't be a problem round here:D

Can we have a 'blind omaha' tournament? I would be a strong favourite in that, but who knows, luck may play a small part and deny me!!

Four of a kind

Thanks

Samba

Ok,but first you will have to transfer me $500,I take netteller.Its kind of like a insinuation test.

Do not jeopardize this test by listing to other members telling you..

A)Not to give me money

B)Telling you to give them money.

No, that would give you an unfair advantage:D

You can nominate your teddy to play online in your place if you wish.

I was going to bump it up over the weekend,I may do it today.

Culchie

Ionapaul - serial thread hijacker

OK, let's do the World Cup thingy first, and then after Easter do a Heads Up Championship again.

Muso might do up one of his sign up pages?

Iceman78

Whats the story with the world cup sweepstakes? What way are the teams to be decided. Are we going to play an online tourney with the winner having first choice and so on or what way is it going to be sorted out.

In relation to the heads up, im sure we can play the semis and final live as it bound to be only the Dubs left at this stage!!!!!!!!

Ste05

We are going to have a MTT with the winner getting first pick and so on,if you don't play we will do a draw for your team.It should be a good MTT some very good players and a lot of bragging rights,not that anybody on this site likes to brag.

I have noticed that everyone on here is very shy and unassuming. Am sure there wont be any bragging from the winner at all!!

Yes good idea,if you need a hand mick just drop me a line.

Lafortezza

I'll put up a signup sticky here in the Tournaments forum. Maybe use this thread for sorting out the dates, how it'll work and so on.

Waylander

I'm game

hoolamoppa

i'm in culchie, let me know the craic:D

Lafortezza

make sure you 've signed up in the sticky thread, not this one! This is just for decding structures and so on.

Legend_DIT

Any idea when registration for the tourny will end and the 1st round draw be made....?

When we get 64 perhaps?

I'll leave that up to Lafort.....whenever he closes the thread. I guess if we gave it until Fridayweek, whoever hasn't signed up by then has no excuses.

We'll do a draw then and have a 'finish by' date for each round

tap28

if you still need numbers, i'm your man or atleast your fish.

if the two players agree can you play on any site?

Friday 21st seems fair, I'll update the stickied thread.
I don't think we can limit the numbers that would be a bit unfair to anyone who forgot/missed sticking their name down.
If we have an odd number of players we can just give byes to later rounds.

gerire

It would be nice to get 64 so some jammy b'stards dont get bye's into the second round. Think we are touching up on 50 now so hopefully we'll get it

Any site at all, as long as you both agree

I predict we'll be nearer to 100 than 64 by the time Friday week comes along.

If we got a nice round 64/100/128 number it would make doing the structure and matchups much easier.

Culchie

We'll get the mathematicians on the job if we don't get 64 or 138

Them fancy interweb machines that throw out all them percentages will do the job methinks.
