Thanks for organising this Mr End. I enjoyed it. I personally wouldn't have the time to play more frames but I understand if people want to.

Thanks Tighty for organising a great tourney, it had a couple of real big benefits from my view:

• Getting to know other blondites - It was nice to play Mel, Thinker and Rookie, we had some great games and banter.
• Confirmation that HU is a valuable art to practice and get good at, since my glorious quarter final appearance, I have played alot more HU. In all the final tables of Tournies I have played since, I have bags more confidence. I have also discovered the 4 player HU shootout on stars to be quite profitable 

Once suggestion, why not mix up the games to have a good all round champion, NLHE, Omaha PL and O'H/L?

First, a big thank you to Tightend for setting up this event, I for one had a great time - it's my first ever heads-up comp, so I didn't know what to expect. Was tonnes of fun.

I do have a couple of suggestions, regarding this bit:

FINAL TO BE BEST OF THREE. Stakes/times to be arranged between yourselves.

1) In later stages, would it be an idea to increase the number of 'frames' that the players play? E.g. best of five for the semis, best of seven for the final, perhaps?

I wouldn't mind playing the extra games - if I were fortunate to get that far of course - and it would bring it in line with snooker where they give more play to the players, the further they get.

I'm not sure but I seem to remember somewhere being told that pro Heads Up comps increase the number of chips in each stage to give the players more play; of course this can't be done on Tribeca, so increasing the number of frames might be a compromise on that score.

2) As for the 'stakes and times to be arranged between yourselves[finallists]' bit, when the finalists agree on when they are playing, would it be worthwhile informing the rest of Blonde in advance as to when and where (stakes!) it will be taking place?

I can think that there might be several Blondeites who might want to railbird the final, cheer on the players, lay fake odds, insult them to their faces (you know, 'banter' ), and that wouldn't be possible if the masses don't know when and where it's happening.

Understandable if the players want a closed room for the event, though...

Yours,

Zimbra

Great points Zim, I agree

Noted for the next one.

Who to root for in the final ?

The chap who bested me or the chap who needs to win to make the pain of all those other HU defeats go away....................

Thanks to TightEnd for arranging this.  Excellent comp, would be well up for the next one.  Like the idea of longer games for the later stages and the mixed format sounds interesting...
