Head to Head Tournament

[Michael Woods]

I'm please to announce another tournament I have the honor of hosting. The Michael Woods Heads Up Invitational. We are going to run a kind of test or beta version with 16 players starting this wednesday night to be sure everything runs smoothly. First 16 players who sign up are in. To be entered email me at michaelwoods@hollywoodpoker.com. Please read the rules and procedures and be sure you can adhere to them before you sign up. Your account must be real money enabled to collect the prize, so please be sure your account is before entering. We hope to make this a regular tournament with a larger playing field. So let's get the show on the road!

RULES AND PROCEDURES:

1) 16 players. All players must have $500 in play money. Players may only enter their respective rounds with $500 in play money. Should a player not have the $500 to enter their round, they forfeit.

2) Players will be seeded by a random drawing, then play 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, etc. in a bracket style.

3) Rounds will be at 10:00 pm EST on Mondays and Wednesdays. Round 1 on Monday, round 2 on Wednesday, Round 3 back on Monday, etc.

4) The game will be played at a private play money table (2 seats only). The top seated player has "home court advantage" and will set up a private table with both players taking in $500 play money (See Instructions Below). It is the responsibility of the player with "home court advantage" to make the table. Should table not be set up by no later than 10:15 pm on the night of a match, the "home court advantage" player forfeits the match. When one player has been eliminated the other is the winner and will move on to the next round. Should one player not play, that player then forfeits and the winner moves on. Players will have until no later than 10:15 pm to get to their table. If a player isn't seated at their table by then, they forfeit the match. In the case of neither player playing, then the player who would have played the winner moves on without having to play. Example being, A is playing B to see who then plays C. If neither A or B play, then C moves on without playing anyone.

5) It is the responsibility of the winner to email Michael Woods the results at michaelwoods@Hollywoodpoker.com. The player will also be asked to include the date, time and one hand history number from the match.

6) Winner to receive $25, second place $15.

Hi Mike great Idea . If you have the celebs do the same type of trny maybe the winner of each of the trnys could play each other . That would be great to play head to head with the winning celeb.But theres alot of stiff competition out there, I dont know if my chances are that good (NOT) but it would make for wonderful spectator event .
Keep up the GREAT work its good to see that y`all are keeping it fresh here at HP See ya at the tables

This sounds like so much fun!

Good luck to all of those who are in the "test" tournament. I hope all goes well so that this can be a regular event.

The Woodsland company was wonderful as usual... but the cards were brutal.

There are still a few spots open, and I realize it was posted close to the opening round. So if we are not filled by tonight, we will move the opening round to Monday to give everyone time to be prepared. Spread the word!
