Re: STTF-HUC II: Registration is open
I will not be there due to school but the format seems messed up... It must be a huge advantage to buy in as a 200 vs a 500.

I'm not really sure how they handle things if a $200 entry wins, I'm guessing there is some math and a lot of whining involved in that scenario. |

So, you are only playing for a portion of the prize pool. You have an advantage because you get full value from all players, whereas the $500 players don't get full value from the $200 players. To offset this disadvantage, the $500 players get a better draw. I didn't like this aspect going into the first HUC and was pretty sure I was going to ditch it for future events. But, it turned out to be an interesting quirk, and made the deal-making really fun at the end. The main advantage is that it gives lower-limit players a more affordable way to participate in a very fun event. The disadvantages, which at first seemed significant, turned out to be no big deal and actually added quite a bit of character to the format. Irieguy |

Edit: Just read the thread and noticed that all of the spots are filled. Just let me know if any open up from now until then! [/ QUOTE ] All of the spots are not filled. I just said that I have enough interested people to fill the tournament. The spots aren't filled until I get the entry fee. Remember that 2 people who were "definitely in" didn't show up to the first one and another paid entrant almost didn't make it. I will make a clear announcement when I have 32 paid entries. Until then, if you want in just send me a PM with your name and I will give you an address to send your check next week. Irieguy |

Re: STTF-HUC II: Registration is open
I don't understand why a $200 player has to play a $500 player? Doesn't that kinda discourage those who can only afford to pay $200 because they'll be up against a really good player. Just trying to be devil's advocate here.

Re: STTF-HUC II: Registration is open
Hmm sounds complicated. Didnt know that you are only eligible for 200 from every other player.
