BRACKET IS NOW UP!
BC HU Tourney - CHALLONGE!
MAKE SURE YOUR PM'S ARE TURNED ON AND GET TO FIGURING OUT THE MATCHUPS!
THE FIRST DEADLINE IS NEXT THURSDAY SEPT. 2ND AT 3PM EST (extended 15 hrs due to bracket delay)
The format will be as follows:
A knockout tournament with either 16 or 32 entrants dependant on numbers. If we need to settle somewhere in between we can use bys.
Games will be NLH played as a best of 3 tables with a sort of sng format with 200bbs of play money on stars and no blind increases. The final will be a best of 5.
I can take the entrance fees on both Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker and be the escrow. If you take issue with me being escrow, we can nominate someone else (BooG was escrow last time and things worked perfectly fine).
I want to get through 3 rounds a month at least, so a 7-day deadline will be enforced and a hard (and I emphasize HARD) 10-day deadline will be accepted at the maximum for special cases.
REMEMBER THAT BOTH PARTIES ARE RESPONSIBLE (AND LIABLE) FOR ARRANGING THE MATCHUPS, SO IF YOU DON'T GET IT IN IN TIME THEN THERE IS A VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL BOTH BE ELIMINATED!
Shipping
YOU ARE NOT IN THE TOURNAMENT UNTIL YOUR MONEY HAS BEEN SHIPPED!
When you ship the entrance fee on stars please ship to Surviva316 (Wilmington) on both Stars and FT.
Prize pool
I'm thinkin' payoff for a 16 person tourney would be just top two like so:
1st: $165
2nd: $75
Newest among the first round eliminees (in other words DuckHunter, THAT'S RIGHT I CALLED IT!): choice between the following two prizes:
1) $10 GS sub courtesy of Sasquatch
2) Free blowjob courtesy of Sasquatch (shipping not included, so this could get pricey, depending on where you live)

re timing of games, yep, something has to happen. Can't think of anything right now tho. Also wondering about the 'who plays BC?' question.

I have no idea what any of this means. I mean, I recognise the words, but can form no meaningful sentences from them.
Ohh yeah, In.

Where will the tourney be played? PS or FTP? This will determine which site I do the transfer from. Got limited funds on FTP.

We've done like 4 of these at the $10 level, there's really no need to drop lower since it would be completely pointless for anyone higher than 5nl-10nl to play. $15 really isn't that much and even a 5nl player with a $150+ BR can afford to play this. If you don't have a $150 BR, chances are you still suck at poker rly rly badly and you should wait to get more experience before you play anyways.

Sry bud but a 15$ buy-in generally requires something like a 700$+ bankroll, maybe a bit less since it's a fairly small field (only paying top 2 or 3 though). I don't agree with the assertion that a dude with a $150 BR should drop 10% of it in a tournament with at the very least somewhat decent players who have a correct approach to learning the game.
But what do I know, Boog says I'm a bitch. 
FWIW I'd play a 2 or 3$ FTR HU tourney for the fun of it.

How about we make the BI $16 so if we get 15 entries a broke 2-5NL'er get's a chance to play for free? If we get 30 then 2 play for free.
To win you write an essay about ????
And while I'm thinking about it:

Tbh, I don't think we should wait for 32.
#1 Cuz last time we had 32 it took fucking forever
#2 It'll take a long time just to get 16 imho
@ Penney, you don't need a $700 BR lol. This tournament is for fun, and it's a chance to play vs people way better than you (people playing 50nl, 100nl, 200nl etc) and you can ask them to go over game afterwards (= HUGE +EV for you) and its not like you're risking that much with your 3 BIs with a 30 BI BR. If you're any good you grind it back in a couple sessions at most.
If this were a tournament that happened every week, then ldo people with smaller BRs shouldn't play EVERY WEEK, but there is abso nothing wrong with taking a shot and getting some potentially great feedback after the game is over.
Stop being a nit.

Make it 16 and I'm in, and I'll also sponsor one person who can make a legit claim that they need it (i.e. they play 5nl and can't afford 3 buyins) so PM me pls.
So yea, this is contingent on this thing getting off in a timely manner because I never take part in these things bc I don't have 4 months for a HU tourney.

Don't worry about who is willing to play since the money is meaningless to most that you would worry about playing. For a mere $15, the lesson of playing HU vs someone who may now a thing or two may prove to be worth it to play a better player.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

OP edited, all transfers accounted for as far as i can see (let me know if otherwise).
we'll start once we get a good number of people, but we'll definitely start by Sept 1st.
where da fugg all the people at? lol @ not being able to play a 15 dolla BI with a 150 dolla BR for the reasons dranger outlined.
to spice the deal i promise to record every match and do a 30 min+ sweat with every person i play after the match.
BooG and dranger, why you haven't you shipped yet you PoS fags
