instead of deep stacked which is hard to set up, why not do best 2 out of 3 with 100bb stacks. Its much easier to set up and it still eliminates some of the variance.

I definitely think this is a better structure.

Here's a better way to do it. No rebuy until you go bust w/100 BBs. The winner of those 100BBs then keeps the 200BBs and the other guy buys in for another 100, and they play until somebody has all of the BBs. That way the loser of his stack can climb up to 150BBs, double up, and win.
I think this would allow for deepstack play if the guy makes a comeback while being no more difficult to set up than 2/3.

I think you need to clarify this a bit.

Yeah, that's what happens when I'm posting half an hour before my thesis is due.
Here's what I think should happen: people have one rebuy of 100 extra BBs which they use after they go bust. The person who has 200BBs plays with those 200BBs on the table. If he loses them all, he now gets to buy in for another 100BBs. So the match ends when one of two things happens:
1) The first guy to lose 100BBs rebuys and ends up with no chips after the rebuy
2) The guy who won the first 100BBs loses those 200BBs rebuys and then runs after chips again.

i didnt mean to start a debate about the structure at this point. i took another look at the ub play money tables and there were a few open this time. i just didnt want to end up spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to get on a table. is there any easy way to get more play money chips? does anyone have a ton of these to transfer?

would it be too much to ask for for these ppl to post that they are going to be playing and where like 1/2hr-hr ahead of time?

Default So Zeebo apparently never wanted to play

Don't know what the source of the miscommunication is, but Zeebo is out. I am getting a replacement. In the meanwhile, go about your matches on UB HU play money tables with the one rebuy after losing 100BBs. We will wait for Strasser to finish his match against his to-be-determined opponent (almost definitely PickyTooth but possibly jcmoussa and evansky, in that order based on persistence in trying to get in over the last couple weeks, if PickyTooth doesn't respond relatively soon)
