Signup for August Heads up Tourney....?
 
If we will want to kick this off at the beginning of the month, should we get a signup going [if so, here it is...] so noone gets left out?

We could also just include all "active" members in the first set of matches and then if people have to/ want to drop out we can shuffle those extras to play eachother?

...but, It would be REALLY cool to have everyone on the forum involved in this! Sounds from TP's email that this will be free, so no issues about deposits.....times (if this is how we are still doing it) will be determined by the two people in a match, so that should not be prohibitive to anyone....

LET's PLAY!! :)

I can't wait for Aeq / TP 2. TP, you ready to lose again?

:):)

PS: Have we discussed how brackets are going to be chosen?

BlibbityBlabbity 07-15-05 02:32 PM

I think random draws.... maybe TP can draw names out of a TP hat??

Quint 07-15-05 02:32 PM

At the very least it would be nice to know what site we're going to play on so those folks that don't already have an account there can get one (unless it's UB I fall into that category).

BlibbityBlabbity 07-15-05 02:36 PM

TP, you said you talked to some site reps at the WSOP.....what sites, what were there deals, etc, etc?

Im a newbie here, but ill play!

Windbreaker 07-15-05 03:40 PM

Depending what days these are held, I would count me in too. I'm sure TP wants part of the action, but if he's really busy and can't find the time to play these, we could set up something where the winner takes him on heads up for a prize or something.

Welcome

Talking Poker 07-15-05 03:45 PM

I'm in, I'm not losing, and I will determine the brackets.

Right now, the first 8 people to say they are "in" in this thread wil be guaranteed to get in. If we can get to 16 (and we should be able to), that first 16 will be in. 32 would be awesome, but I don't see that happening. #17 will be a reserve if someone from the Top 16 disappears, and so on.

Once we have our list of participants, I will assign numbers to the entries and then randomly generate the brackets. I'll explain how I'm doing everything as we go, but I've got it all figured out.

So, let the signups begin! (Or continue, I suppose)

Talking Poker 07-15-05 03:48 PM

I'll get it all figured out when get home. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to set up your account (no deposits will be required) if you don't have one. The leading contenders ae Poker Host, JetSet, and Absolute. I need to contact each of them and see who can take care of us best, but those three seemed the most willing to take care of us...

Don't go signing up yet, of course. I need to set up some affiliate links ;)

Quint 07-15-05 04:14 PM

I'm in.

Talking Poker 07-15-05 04:25 PM

Don't you worry about that... I'll make the time. I want to take this down so I can dd it to my poker resume :D

BTW, it will be the responsibility of each "pair" to find a time that's good for them. We'll probably need to get each "round" done in a 3 or 4 day time frame, but I doubt that will be a problem for anyone.

And again, I'm planning on this being a $0 entry freeroll, with me kicking in some cash for the winner. Any and all side bets are fair game, of course. We'll have to draw up Vegas odds on everyone after the brackets are drawn up.

yellowcab 07-15-05 05:32 PM

I'm in. Bring it on!!!

mister_frank 07-15-05 09:25 PM

I'm in. This will be fun.

lightfungus 07-15-05 09:58 PM

At the awards ceremony for the TP heads up august tournament:

"And sekond place goes to blah blah, and finally our first plase finisher, a man who deserves respekt from the world for his skizills and generally being the most awsomest man alive, Lightfungus!" *whoops and whistles*

P.S. Brian was the presenter (couldn't resist...)

Aequitas58 07-15-05 10:02 PM

If I was in charge...

I would make sure the forum members who have been here for a while have top priority "getting in." It wouldn't be right if a regular had to be "reserve" because we get an influx of new members who want a chance at free money.

Just my $.02.

greenbuckets 07-15-05 10:11 PM

I stink at heads up
 
but count me in.

Talking Poker 07-16-05 12:50 AM

Agreed. It's first come, first served for the people with decent post counts. Hopefully we can fit everyone else in too, but if not, I'll probably decide by post count or something along those lines...

For example, I had a couple of beers with Me. 2Tone at the Golden Nuggett today - great guy, btw. He's in, regardless of when he adds his name to this list. I should have clarified earlier...

Of course, if the new people start posting a bit more, that will definitely help their cause :) Depending on the final number, we could always have a fw people get byes, if need be.... Those could be awarded randomly, or better yet, by total post count. Check me out making it to round 2 already!

robthedlphin 07-16-05 01:49 AM

BrianSwa 07-16-05 07:47 PM

questions
 
I'm in but got some questions, Is this gonna be single elimination? also is it gonna be best out of three or something? Is this contest gonna be just like say me vs. aeq one match or something because that would kinda suck. If it is single elimination should be best out of three matches or something because anyone can get lucky once, doesn't mean they are better player.

I'm in but my days are pretty packed like many are gonna be kinda hard to get the schedules down.
