Here's what I'm thinking... I'll take input, of course, but I think this is a pretty good idea:
(Assuming 32 players)
The first two rounds (32-->16-->8) will be single matches. This is when we'll have the most people playing and the toughest time coordinating schedules and such. The third round (8 players, 4 matches) will be best of 3. The semifinals (4 players, 2 matches) will be a best of 5 series... and then the grand finale, the championship, will be a best of 7 series.
What do you think? Originally I was going to say 2/3 for the final 4 and 3/5 for the finals, but I think this is even better. By the time we get that far, hopefully the people left will be pretty serious about it and won't mind making time to play. And by doing it like this, the winner will really deserve to be there, having won 11 Heads up Tourneys!
I'd also like to have prizes for at least the final 2 players, but more likely the final 4. I'm hoping out TBD poker site will kick in a little bit of cash for us. Talks are in progress now.
This is going to be very cool!
