blonde HU Championship

[technolog]

EDIT: Things have progressed a bit. A private one-off, multi-player, heads-up tourney has been created on Stars for Tuesday 21st December at 20:00 GMT - see here. If it's popular we'll probs have another one a week later. Still hoping to get a group/knockout heads-up comp (as discussed below in OP) sorted for playing over the Christmas period.

I'm missing my December blonde league

Would there be any interest in a heads-up comp? I'm a bit rubbish heads-up so would welcome the practise.

I was thinking a Champions League type format; a group stage of 4/5 players in each group, where everyone plays each other once. Then the top 2 go through to a knockout stage. Be nice to get at least 16 playing to give 4 groups of 4, leading to ¼ finals, semis & final.

I was thinking best of 3 games wins for the group games, then best of 5 for the knockout round and increasing by 2 for every further round.

Where would be the best place to play? Do any sites allow private heads-up tournies? We can play heads-up STTs but there's the chance someone could jump in before your opponent and you end up playing a random. If all else fails, heads-up cash without re-loading.

Post on here if you're interested.

EDIT: It looks like we've got enough to make it worthwhile. Looks like Stars is favourite at the moment to be the site. I'll give it until Saturday for a few more to declare an interest then we'll get it sorted.

With the Christmas hols coming it'd be an ideal opportunity to get it done & dusted before the Jan blonde league starts.

Oh yeah, buy-ins.

As players of all levels will probably be playing I'd suggest either we all state a maximum buy-in we're willing to play and the buy-in for each match will be the lower of the two players' stated maximums. Or we just allow each pairing to decide prior to each game.

I'd chance $10 per game
