the players list is not the seeding for the tournament, which will be done randomly after confirming entries

also though the poll suggestted a compromise for entry fee, I'll let majority rule of the ppl approved to determine the official fee

so everyone listed, please check in, also state your preference of entry fees .. 0, 5, 10

the bracket and first round pairings will be posted after confirming players

entry fee is due before the end of the first round, sent interaccount transfer to my stars account, where it will remain till tournament is completed, I'll handle the payout of prizes

any player in the tournament who does not transfer the entry fee to my account before the end of the first round, will be eliminated from the competition

anyone who signed up but isn't on the list is someone, who either had a very small post count, or I didn't recognize your name from Micros .. if you feel you were left out PM me and I'll consider adding you

I hope to have the bracket ready to go by Friday afternoon

EDIT: stars screenname: bottomset
I don't hide

don't send till I finalize the buyin

EDIT2: anyone not on the list, please PM me if you really are interested its possible i overlooked you, at most it will be 64ppl, and I'm not ruling out adding ppl

EDIT3: added Entity to official list

Confirmed. And a $5 entry fee is just fine with me. At the same time I wouldn't care if it was $0 instead, because that would emphasize the fun and bragging rights of it. Looking forward to it!

Looks awesome Bottomset. I'm fine with any sort of buy-in. Thanks for all you're hard work.

05-10-2005, 06:07 PM
tx for doing this. also, we'll need to know your stars screenname at some point...

also also, my vote is for $10 entry fee, but am cool with whatever.

05-10-2005, 06:08 PM
looks good to me, and whatever entry everyone else likes is fine by me.

BTW: how are we gonna handle it when we get down to 3 players on each bracket? Someone's gonna get a bye or what? How will that be determined, who gets a free round?

Also, plz excuse my ignorance, I've never played PS, you can make private tables, or is there always 1 empty table or ??

i'm cool with donating $5 or $10 to the cause.
i hope whoever i'm matched with can play sunday...or i'll have to forfeit my spot.

bottomset - are you bottomset on stars?

bottomset
05-10-2005, 06:24 PM
my main concern regarding the ppl left off was most haven't had a history on the board, and this tourney will not work if its plagued with no shows(my biggest fear regarding this)

so I included ppl I felt had a high likelyhood of showing up and playing it through

also the reason I went double elimination is that Swiss is effectively a double elim tourney(if you get 2 losses, you can't top8 most of the time, especially if the second loss happens before the final round, or if you lose opening round) but I felt many of the rounds after the second will begin to show disinterest on the players parts

if this goes well, and the desire is there I am very willing to run another one of these this summer sometime, my suggestion to all those left off, please make an agressive effort to contribute to the forums ..

I'm cheap, so I'd prefer a $5 buyin. I'm assuming what we're doing is playing nanos at .02/.04, so theres basically no money earned/loss from playing, but only gained from placing high in the ranks?

EDIT: Also, I need to create an account at stars -- what's the bonus there and what are the .5/1 - 2/4 games like? if their bonus sucks, what's the minimum deposit?

Sounds good. I'll confirm. My account is MrWookie on Stars, so I should be pretty easy to spot. Should we have all entrants post their Stars account names here so you can easily recognize everyone who is giving you money?

Oh, and I vote for a $5 buy-in.

Heya. Im totally confirming. Also, entry fee is irrelevent to me, so whatever. Might i suggest however in collecting entry fees before bracketing, that way if someone is a no show you can simply give them the loss and advance the other player.

also, i apologize for not posting more here yet, but my time has been occupied in OOT today, checking out our own resident porn star, badboyy.

$5, heading your way (seems that $5 will be the amount)

i am "crankyrat".

bottomset
05-10-2005, 06:59 PM
ok I made my mind up, in favor of getting this rolling
we'll use a $5 entry fee

please pm me your stars screenname(or post it when confirming), or add your 2+2name to the notes on the stars transfer .. so I can easily keep track of who payed

I like cnfuzzd idea of getting entry fee before bracket setup, applying loses to noshows

hopefully the 72hr timeframe on the matches will be sufficient, if its a major problem for many of the matches I might extend, so any concerns in that respect will need to be pm'd to me

entry fee will be due upfront don't transfer if you aren't on the list until you get confirmation of being in

I think this could be a problem. Against 2 evenly matched players (good or bad) this could last a very long time. I'd suggest 25 BB buyins.

25BB in a HU match is nothing more than seeing who is a better luckbox. I think 50 might actually be a bit too small, but given that most of us arent that familiar with HU matches, perhaps will offer the best balance between luck and skill...

I will be using bracket-maker for this, they only have 32max for double elimination brackets

so there will be 2 brackets

C.H.U.M.P
and
M.I.L.F

similar to NCAA BB tourney

the winner of C.H.U.M.P and M.I.L.F will play for the overall championship

also there are still 11 slots open, PM me before sending money if you aren't on the original 48person list

First off, exactly what time/day is the tournament going to be? I need to make sure that I dont have class/other commitments before I send the money. Also, I would suggest limiting the bracket to 32 players, and maybe creating a "waitlist" as invariably not all 64 players who sign up will show up or pay.

Has he confirmed this as $5 yet? Or is the fact that a bunch of people have sent $5 meaning that it is indeed a $5 buy in?

bottomset
05-10-2005, 07:57 PM
each round will have a 72hr time limit for you and your opponent to complete your match

if its not sufficient to a large % of the field it will be extended, but in favor of hopefully keeping this going quickly that will be a last resort

there is too much demand to limit to 32, also payment is due upfront so no-shows aren't as big of deal, albeit someone getting more than 1 would be bad

MrWookie47
05-10-2005, 07:58 PM
I think it's that everyone is going to have 3 days to schedule a match with the person they're paired with. The tournament will run over a couple weeks. If you have, say a solid week where you can't play poker, don't sign up. If you're just worried about intermitant other commitments that might prevent you from playing during a particular two hour time slot, don't sweat it. You can work out a different time with your opponent that round.

I was gonna suggest the Special Micro Heads Up Tourney, or SMHUT, but CHUMP is much better.

So when we made this for real money and on Stars, I ran into a slight problem. Since I built up my bankroll from Pacific's free $10, I've never actually used Neteller. Does it take longer than until friday for the account to clear/deposit money/transfer to a site? If so, do any microers have both a paypal and neteller account or anything that would facilitate a money transfer for a neteller virgin?

Yeah I was watching the domination. Your AF must have been like 10+ for that match. You saw me 1st on the list so you decided to tap out, but you should have stayed to witness me stone bluff all my money off again.

You spelt my damn name wrong. :grrr:

Checking in. Would have liked to see a no buyin tournament, but $5 is fine. If nothing else, there is always the spector that someone will just run off with the money -- see the incidient with GrannyMae a couple weeks back. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, just saying... or maybe I'm just cheap.

Pokerstars account is 'Chiyowned'; waiting on a cashout from Paradise to fund the Stars account.

after getting my ass handed to me by poki over the last day or so I would say my chances of winning this are pretty much nil. should be fun though, and every match I win is some sweet bragging rights

That guy was probably the worst HU player I've ever seen. I think we burned through 50BB in ~40 hands. Quite fun. Granted, I was hitting after every time I semibluffed, which was great.

Does anybody think that 50 bets is a lot? How long are these matches going to last? Is there some comfortable medium between 25 and 50?

25BB in a HU match is nothing more than seeing who is a better luckbox. I think 50 might actually be a bit too small, but given that most of us arent that familiar with HU matches, perhaps will offer the best balance between luck and skill...

From someone who played in the 1st 2 HULA leagues as well as the HUSH league. 50BBs could lead to some marathon matches. I had a couple 300+ hand matches with 30BB stacks. I know of other people who went much longer.

It might not be a bad idea to put a time limit on the matches just to keep people from playing all day.

I'm going to apologize in advance for this one, but I can't help myself.

So, since we get to keep the winnings of our matches, does that make that money our CHUMP change?

Sorry. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You've got money (both people who asked for it). And bottomset, feel free to keep the extra $5 for setting everything up.

I also think we should let Josh in.
