Heads Up Sticky Thread

[PShabi]

I'll help organize it.

It'll be $5 or $10 pregame transfer and we'll play on Bugsy's.

- You have a week to play the game (mon-sun). The results must be PMed to me by 10 PM Sunday night.

- We'll make a thread for people who don't have their game completed by 9:45 PM on Sunday night. If you post in the thread between 9:45 - 10:00 PM and your opponent doesn't, you win via forfeit. If neither posts, they both forfeit. If they both show, then they play right then.

With people putting money up ahead of time and me being a total dick about it, we'll stay on schedule.

A few things:

1. We could hardly get 32 people to play for free. We can hardly get 10 people to join the league. How in the world do you think we're going to get 32 people to pony up cash for this?

2. Wha t if someone is available ALL WEEK LONG, except for after 9:00 on Sunday when their opponent is available. Hardly seems fair to make them forfeit. That's the type of thing I hated so much before - trying to figure out who was "more available" or whatever.

FWIW - if you get this going, you KNOW I'm in.

Well, in college intramurals it worked fine. Say tennis for instance, I gotta play so and so. The office would give you your opponents name and number and you'd have a week to get in contact with them and get a match set up. The deadline was 6:30 AM so you had to be at the facility at that time to claim your win if you hadn't played yet. People generally played during the week.

With $$$$ down, I think people will be motivated to play during the time period. And you are way to diplomatic. You set the rules, if people pony up the cash, theny they're accepting the rules. If they don't follow them, they lose.

And it doesn't have to be 32 people. Save it for the big dogs and we get 8 or more and I'd be happy.

Ok, works for me. You're in charge.

bugsys as in poker pages..

[PShabi]

Yeah, they have free headsup games with nice chip stacks. We play the headsup tourneys there, because in the past TP just gave out prizes and it was a freeroll.

[HEwong]

[Talking Poker]

Begging for money via PM?

Just a guess.

[HEwong]

never begged on there.

[Talking Poker]

Just a guess, since that's why you are very, very close to being banned here.

And you wonder why you get negative rep from people.
