Round one (32-16) - best of 3 (but a single match here would be "ok")
Round two (16-8) - best of 3
Round three (8-4) - best of 3
Round four (4-2) - best of 5
Final (2-1) - best of 5

This is what I "vote" for....I like the increasing of matches but personally, I think best of 7 is a little overkill. I think best of three determines the better player "pretty well" and best of 5 pretty much seals it.

BTW....

Also, regarding how the matches will be played (if there are more than one per round).....

I would suggest that the minimum to win (2 for best of three, 3 for best of five,etc, etc) be played in one sitting, then if there needs to be a tiebreaker(s) there is the option of scheduling that for another time.

Still need to know how these will be set up. Are they just going to all be set up and the two players sign in whenever they want (password protected), or will you have to have it each match set up by support before you can play? Think this still needs to be given some thought once the site is chosen (or as part of the selection process).....

This is the part that is still in the works. I'm hoping people will be able to set up their own matches, and neither support nor I will need to take part in it at all.

Agreed...

BTW, one thing to confirm if PokerHost is still in the running is that this prize pool will be exempt from their "winnings prior to deposit" rules. Typically, you have to deposit and then unlock any money won prior to your deposit (freerolls, or any other promotional money). Their current rules only count $1/$2 and higher games toward unlocking bonuses/promo money. This might suck for some people if they win and don't want to play those limits to try to get their winnings.

From what I understand, if you deposit THEN win money all is ok and it is yours to do what you want with. So, it might be better for people to make $30 deposits in case they win???

Just an FYI in the dcision-making process.....

Oh yeah, just to let you know, Ive been reading this forum for about 3 months, just never anything good to contribute. Im mainly an SNG player, so I may have to start posting some of my strategies and problem hands and DISCUSS it up with you guys. I love all the personalities on here, and I think im ready to join you guys.

Thanks Pshabi for the welcome!

Well, it's about time! Let me officially rewelcome you to the forum...

We still have a few spots open for this. Anyone? Anyone? Surely all the regulars have had a chance to sign up by now, so if anyone has any friends they'd like to tell about this, by all means, feel free.

I think there should be a seperate thread under "railbird me" for all of these matches. People could post their agreed-upon scheduled times, etc.

Also, I think TP's matches per elimination will do just fine. And heck with the money--I just want one of those hats.
