STTF-HUC II: Registration is open
The First Annual Presidents' Day Single-Table Tournament Forum Heads-Up Championship (STTF-HUC II) will be held on Saturday, February 18th, 2006 at the Venetian Hotel and Casino.
The tournament will start at 10:00am and run until there is a champion. On Friday the 17th, the night before the tournament, there will be a cocktail party where some poker games are likely to break out. The tournament game will be pot-limit heads-up holdem, double-elimination format. More on the rules, structure and payout will be posted as the time nears. I will cap the field at 32 players. All players and spectators from the first HUC will have a spot reserved until December 1st. The remaining slots will be filled on a first-pay-first-fill basis. HOW TO REGISTER If you want to play in the STTF-HUC II, send me a PM with your real name. In one week, I will send a mass-reply out to everybody who is interested with instructions on where to mail your check. Entry can only be paid by check or money order. The tournament buy-in can either be $200 or $500, and the entry fee is going to be $170. This fee will cover tournament supplies and administration, venue cost, drinks for the tournament and the party on Friday night, "live entertainment," and a catered dinner on the day of the tournament. If you want to play, you will have to mail a check or money order for either $370 or $670 as soon as I send you the address. Once all the spots are filled, I will post a message that the tournament is full. On December 1st, I will re-open registration to fill any spots that have not yet been paid by attendees from the first HUC. If an attendee from the first HUC tells me that he is not going to come back, I will open that spot up right away. Please do not send me a PM for any reason other than to register. If you feel a compelling need to suggest a different tournament format, a different date, a different form of payment, or to negotiate a lower entry fee... please wait until I am finished with registration before PMing me. I will not have time to answer those types of questions until after all the spots are filled. If you choose to register as a $200 player, you will play a $500 player in the first round of the tournament. I will accept no more than 16 $200 players to ensure that no $200 player will be exempt from this first round draw. It is likely, however, that there will be more $500 players than $200 players... so paying a $500 entry does not guarantee you a first round match with a $200 player. If you played in the first HUC and you pay a $500 entry this time, you will be seeded. That means you will draw a first-time $200 player in the first round. If you played in the first HUC and you pay a $200 entry this time, you will not be seeded, but you will be exempt from drawing a seeded $500 player in the first round. More details on the draw will be posted at a later date. I am looking forward to another enjoyable event. Irieguy

Re: STTF-HUC II: Registration is open
Wow sounds complicated, as long as I don't have to play the same luckbox two times in 3 games I'm cool with it though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
Would it be ok if someone else sent you a check for double and I paid them instead? It is a bi.tch to send you a check from a canadian chequing account and my american one doesn't let me send checks to us banks (i know it's really weird.)

The $170 fee is rakeback for him. EHOT? But yes, it is a much better deal if you enter as a $500 player. Irieguy

Some school in Texas might offer Econ 101. Enroll. It takes money (up-front) to secure a site, provide food, beverage and associated costs that go into staging this event. Irie is doing that for you because none of you have the wherewhithall or desire to do so. Be thankful for that. Countless hours are being spent to stage this thing on your (meaning the folks that will be playing and watching) for no compensation. Send your check stopyerbitching. Holla.

Give me a few minutes to find a facility twice as large as the one I've already reserved and I'll hook it all up to your liking. Shipitholla. Irieguy PS- There's a chance Raptor's slot will be for sale soon.
