STTF-HUC II: It's coming

[Irieguy]

Since the First Annual Labor Day STTF-HUC was such a huge success, I've decided to run another one sooner than next Labor Day.

The next one will be the First Annual Presidents' Day STTF-HUC. It will be held in Las Vegas over Presidents' Day weekend, which I believe is 2/18-2/20.

This is simply a preliminary post... to let you all know it's coming. The real details will follow within a few weeks. Here are the basics:

1. The format rocked, I think, so it will be the same: double-elimination.

2. I will NOT cap the field at 16. I'm not sure yet what I will cap it at... or even whether or not I will cap it. Since I already have seeding information for 16 players, this tourney will be easier to seed and I don't mind giving first round byes to the best players.

3. There will be 2 levels of buy-in again. I didn't like that going into the first one... but it turned out to be a cool little quirk, and gives a lot of different people a chance to play.

4. The payout will be structured to pay more than 1 spot, probably 3 or 4.

5. Bluetooth can't come. (which shouldn't bother him too much since all the best SNG players in the world do is talk about OT stuff anyways.)

Much more to follow. I already can't wait.
