KW Heads-Up No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament
Friday, November 18th at 7:00pm
(doors open at 6:30pm)
The next format in our rotation is a 32-person single elimination heads-up tournament. The buy-in will be $10, and there will obviously be no rebuys or add-on. Players will start each round with 1000 chips. "Robert's Rules" will be used to resolve any disputes. People are free to play additional games during and after the main tournament as tables become available.
Tournament Seeding
Due to the gladiatorial nature of this format, we will be breaking tradition and having a live draw. This draw will commence at 7:00 SHARP. This draw will determine match-ups as well as who starts with the button. Subsequent rounds will high-card for the button.
Late Players
Timing is critical for this tournaments success, as is being on time, so the following rules and penalties will be in effect. Players who do not arrive by 7:00 (in time for the live draw) will be penalized by automatically starting in the big blind. Players who do not arrive by 7:10 (which only leaves a few minutes to register and get seated) will have their seat given to the next person on the waiting list. The first round will start at 7:15 SHARP. Late players (for the first or subsequent rounds) will be blinded out at the rate of 1 BB every 2 minutes for the first level, and 1 BB every minute thereafter. This BB penalty will be due at the start of each 1 or 2 minute period, so a player who is 30 seconds late will be penalized 1 BB, while a player who is 3 minutes late will be penalized 2 BB. Hands will not be dealt until the player arrives, at which point all accumulated blind penalties will be paid, and the late player will start in the BB (the "on-time" player will start with the button).
Blinds
The blind levels will be 5-10, 10-20, 20-40, 30-60, 50-100, 100-200, 150-300 (at which point they will be capped). Each level will be 10 minutes long, so each match is expected to last approximately 1 hour. With 5 rounds to declare a champion, the main tournament is expected to last 5-6 hours. New rounds will be started 10 minutes after the last match of each round has concluded.
Payout
2nd place will receive 20%, 3rd/4th place will each receive 10%, each rounded to the next $5. 1st place will receive the remaining 55-60% (depending on the rounding). "TwoThree" Brad (The Play - 701-2960) is generously donating a bubble-prize. This bubble-prize will be awarded to 5th place, which will be awarded to the player with the quickest win in round 2. To clarify, of the 4 players who lose in the third round, the player whose match ended first in the second round will be declared fifth place.
Second Chance
For those who are eliminated during the first and second round, a $10 multi-table freezeout will be run at the beginning of the third round (using the "Cook Crew" payout chart for the number of players participating). Brad is kindly donating a second bubble-prize for this event!
When registering, please include your first name and last initial. If you need directions, let me know by PM. For reference, I am located in the Stanley Park area of Kitchener. BYOB BYOS.

There will be a cash game right? :P
/g2
I've got an idea... to make you eat your words... I'd love to knock out the host in the first round! Watch yourself Trevor, I just might slap you in the face with the deck again just like that other time at your place
Can't wait for the heads-up tourney! I'm thinking of running some kind of alternate format event in the near future as well.
/g2
As far as slapping me with the deck again, I'm looking for softer cards cuz that hurt
/g2
I know.... I will read a book and try and get better at this game.
