i like the idea of round robin...put people in pools of 4 or 5 and everyone in the pool plays eachother. then the single elim bracket is seeded based on pool performance. that's how sports tournaments are usually done.

I like double elimination with a winner's bracket and a loser's bracket. Makes for more playing and makes it more likely the best two players actually face each other in the finals.

Another good format to consider is round robin. Everyone plays everyone X times and whoever has the best score at the end wins. If two guys are tied, they can play one final ultimate sudden death game for all of the marbles, and of course title.

Yes but how many people are going to be playing?

32 at the minimum, right? That's a LOT of HU matches.

But it's gonna be like a freeroll where everyone goes all-in preflop every hand. Right? So it should be fast.

OK fine, I'll play seriously. And I agree that a round robin will take too long. That could be a good idea if we had this thing as a year-long 'season' though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

if there are 32 players, then split it into 8 pools of 4...that will make it 3 matches in pool play. make the matches 3 games total instead of best of 3, then seed the bracket based on wins/losses out of the 9 pool play games.

You should probably give people 24 hours to PM you, though, because of different time zones and the like.

Maybe xorbie can sticky this thread?... or just sticky a post saying to PM you about the tournament?
