Heads Up Challenge
«
on:
December 10, 2005, 01:32:37 AM »
During the last year we heard mention of Heads Up Comps between Nottingham, Luton and Blackpool. It died a death and nothing was ever heard of them again. Perhaps it was hardly exhibition stuff and the teams were staffed by second rate Heads Up players, who knows.
Well good news! A new grouping of five stars has appeared on the scene, The Heads Up All Stars. Formed especially for the Brum Bash.
These highly trained players form an awesome team and ready to meet any other team in a Comp during that weekend. Yes, any team! It could be from the above mentioned villages or indeed a team of girlies or Casino staff, there will be space and time to play in the hotels no doubt. It may be that a County team can be formed from the outlaying parts of England, i.e. scotland or wales.
Is there any team willing to risk humiliation and a smidgen of their bank roll? Probably not but the chance is there for the taking.

I'm sure we could rustle up a Scottish side. How many in a team?

Buy-in? What is the?
Or is it negotiable?

OK, the fine print.
What is invisaged is each of the 5 team members each play a single HU match against a drawn opponent. So 5 individual matches in all.
Each member stakes £45 + £5 (the rake going to Poker4charity if all agree)
(the buy in IS negotiable if need be, the main thing is to have fun)
There is nothing stopping a team having a joint bankroll to reduce the variance.
2000 chips, blinds start at 25/50, 15 minute clock.

Once teams have been chosen there is nothing to stop other challenges, e.g. the scotch people against welch ones. This is added in case you felt the might of the All Stars is too great to overcome.
