Okay so I said I'd run this for this year (must be mad), and I've lifted most of EL Stuntmans post from last year.

The tournament works as follows:

1. The game is poker (duh) - any variant that the two players in each match can agree between themselves. Presumably NLHE will be the variant of choice but you can go ahead and play Southern Cross with wild 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s for all I care.
You can play at any online site (or live) for any stakes (play money if you like) that are mutually acceptable.
Please note that this tournament is primarily for fun and bragging rights and should be entered into in that spirit.

2. Each match is best of three. This should hopefully reduce the luck factor and ensure that the best player wins.

3. It is up 100% up to the two players in each match to arrange and complete their match before the deadline for each round to complete.
If one player in the pairing cannot play before the deadline (and the other player has made reasonable efforts to contact him/her and arrange the match), then he/she forfeits.
Plead all hardship cases (holidays/imprisonment etc) to the tournament organisers.

4. Matches can be played live or online. Again, it's at the discretion of the two players in each match. Hopefully, last year's format of live semis and finals in a casino will be repeated.

5. This year a $10 nominal fee will be charged for entry. From this I'll arrange a trophy and some prize money for the winner. This is to ensure people at least make an effort to fulfill fixtures

6. The $10 can be paid via transfers on Pokerstars or GJP to myself. Please dont ship yet.

7. It's an FA Cup style draw. Each round must be completed by a certain date. Once that date is reached, the full list of winners will be drawn again to determine the next round of matches etc and so forth....
If we do not get a suitable number of contestants, then a preliminary round will be required to get us down to an appropriate number (like 128 or 64 or whatever).

8. Tournament organiser's rulings are final and irrevocable
There will be a prize befitting the enormity of the competition, however the true prize will surely be being able to brag of your achievement for one whole calendar year.

Well I imagine its going to take approx 2 weeks to get this up and running, and then I'll allow a 3-4 week window for round one.

Its up to you, you can play games online, so a bit of organisation and you should be grand, it'll be more difficult than for people based in Ireland, but doable
