HULA ML FAQ – The HULA previously known as HULA 3.1
Ok its now officially HULA ML. The good point was made that having multiple numbered HULAs running at once might get confusing and take away from the original. HULA ML seems like a great new way for a bunch more people to get involved. Hopefully the ML designation will clearly designate this as the “minor leagues." I know there are a lot of questions out there so hopefully this will answer those.
What does HULA stand for?
Heads-Up Limit Association
Why HULA ML?
Cause there wasn’t enough space for a bunch of us to play in HULA 3. Probably just as well since I would assume our skill level is on average much lower than those playing in HULA 3. ML stands for “minor-league”.
What is the entry-fee/payout structure?
Since we have a few people signing up with very few posts I want to make this clear...we are playing for real money. There is a $50 entry fee per person. However we will play and compete in teams. 50% of the money will be divided among the first place team, 30% among the second place team, and 20% among the third place team members. Captains will be the recipient of a 10% rake from other players. Therefore, captains receive 140% of a normal individual’s prize payout, other players receive 90% of their share.
How does it work?
--It will be 10 teams of 5 people each. A team will consist of 1 captain and 4 other players.
--Each week each player will be assigned a HU match against a player on another team.
--Home team captain will determine the matches for that week. The two players must arrange and play their HU match during that week. Captains' jobs are to make sure their players actually schedule and play these matches.
--If a player is unavailable during that week another team member will play in his place. This means that some weeks a player might have to play 2 matches. We will not be using alternates as it’s not really fair to them as they don’t really get to play at all and have to constantly read a bunch of threads and pretend to be part of a team they really don’t have much to do with.
--We will play the matches on a Prima site at the play money tables. This will likely be “The Gaming Club.” Before the season starts each drafted player will need to pay the $50 entry fee, likely via a PokerStars transfer.
--Game and match format will be 30BB, blinds double after 1 hour (team with most victories win)
--Until we are asked to move, we will conduct day-to-day business in the HUSH forum on 2+2 ( lets keep the number of ne threads to a minimum)

If you are on this list and no longer want to participate after reading the rules/details as spelled out above please PM either climber or witeknite.
We will have a couple days while the captains all get me their contact info and we figure out a mutually agreeable time to do the draft, you can still sign up to play if you want to post below and add yourself to the potential draft field.
After the draft is setup, we will publish the official draft field list and get the first week of games scheduled and get everyone’s money transferred. Once all entry fees are paid the season will get under way. I am expecting we will do either a 6-8 week season—unless someone knows a really good reason that some other length of time is better.
I look forward to playing
