Headsup League 2009 Interest List
Options
-
05-02-2009 8:12pm#1Ok folks, i'm looking for an interest list for the 2009 version of the Headsup League. Below is an outline of the way it ran last year and the final results.
I can change the buyin amounts and the numbers depending on interest so if you'd want o play in any of the leagues, just let me know by posting your interest in this thread. I would like no more than a maximum of 12 in each league. You can declare interest in more than 1 league.
I'd ask only players than can commit to play over the next 3 months apply. There was quite a few drop outs last year and it got really messy as some dropped out halfway through. I needed to go back over results and award walkovers to people they previously beat etc....I also needed to determine which players made more of an effort trying to organise matches and award walkovers / void results where applicable. Messy...
I havent proof read any of this so i apologise for any mistakes. Pop up your interest, comments, questions, concerns etc in this thread.
The competition was meant to include 4 leagues of 12 players. If there was only interest for 3 leagues, then either Serie C or Serie D will be dropped. In the end, we went with Serie A, Serie B and a 16 player Serie C
The entry fee for each of the leagues was set as below. The reason we had a limit of the minimum fee per game was to find a happy medium because some players wanted to play $1 and others $500! Generally players can agree between themselves what stakes they want to play
Serie A - This will be a $250 buyin and each game must be for a minimum of $20
Serie B - This will be a $130 buyin and each game must be for a minimum of $10
Serie C - This will be a $90 buyin and each game must be for a minimum of $5
Serie D - This will be a $60 buyin and there is no minimum per game.
Each player will play 11 best of 3 headsup games on with the winner being awarded 2 points and the loser 0.
Next is the bit that a lot of players got confused with and couldnt understand :rolleyes:
Each player may play his 1st 8 fixtures in any order, at any time but they must be complete over an 8 week period.
Ideally, i'd like to have a week 1 fixture list..You play your game and the winner gets 2 points, the loser gets 0. In reality, that wont work. Players cant make it for one reason or another, they agree to play at another time, they both blame each other for not being able to play etc and things fall apart. By allowing the first 8 fixtures to be played in any order, at any time over an 8 week period allows everyone ample time to squeeze the games in.
The last 3 fixtures must not be played until each person in the league has completed 8 matches and only then will the final 3 rounds of fixtures commence.
The reason for this is so that everyone will have played the same amount of games by a predetermined time and will leave 3 games to fight it out for spoils. If you played any of these 3 games out of order, they will be classed as null and void.
At the end of the season the top 3 players in each league will be awarded prizemoney and in the case of Serie B/C/D will also be promoted to the next league should they accept the T+Cs posed.
The bottom 3 players in each league will be relegated to a lower league and in the case of Serie D, be omitted from the league with 3 new players taking their places.
If players are tied on points come the end of the season, placings will be decided on the result of the HU match between those 2 players. If 3 or more players are tied and HU matches cannot determine a winner, then play-off matches will occur
Prize money will be
Serie A - $250 buyin
1st - 1600
2nd - 900
3rd - 500
Serie B - $130 buyin
1st - 830
2nd - 470
3rd - 260
Serie C - $90 buyin
1st - 570
2nd - 325
3rd - 180
Serie D - $60 buyin
1st - 385
2nd - 215
3rd - 120
Terms and Conditons
