12/20 Holiday Roshambo Tournament $10 buyin - Heads Up SNG and Spin and Gos -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

HO HO HO HO

Come one, come all. Welcome to the 2011 2+2 Holiday Roshambo tournament.

Details:
-Tournament will start at Noon (est) on 12/20 and has a $10 buy in.

-Registration closes at 12:01am (est) 12/20 and will be CAPPED at 16 entrants.

-I will throw in $40 to the prize-pool and (assuming we cap registration) the payout will be $120 for first, $60 for second, and $20 for third place. (No matter how few register, I'll throw in $40, so you're +EV unless you're obv and throw rock on the first throw every round like a noob)

***Single Elimination***

Best of 5 throws per round (e.g., you win three in a row, you won)

I will moderate... you can throw rock/paper/scissor via PM or AIM (sn-Cooker0168) message and I will post your move in the thread.

The first 16 people to respond 'REGISTER' will be entered into the NCAA-esk bracket. The #17-20 people to register will be put on a "subs" list. If you have not escrowed by 8am 12/20 your reservation will be voided and the first person in line on the subs list will take your spot.

If all parties are present, hopefully the tournament will be over within a few hours of starting tomorrow. If you no-show you'll have ~1hr before you forfeit your round. Tournament starts at noon... following rounds will play at the conclusion of rd1, etc. THIS TOURNAMENT WILL BE OVER AT 11:59PM on 12/20 at the latest!!!

What I need: An escrow volunteer that has both Merge & rest-of-the-world transfer abilities.

If you're not going to throw in the forum's legendary roshambo thread here as a link, I just don't know if this thread will be a success without it.

You could always PM me your 5 throws for each match. Hell you could win this thing and never show up if you send me a list of throws.

LoL Greg is this a register by you or no?

NEED AN ESCROW or this can't happen.

No escrow in the next 90mins and this is postponed until at least the next day.

What is the timeframe like on this game?

I have a final that I'll be getting out of around 12:50.

Just a couple of hours, if you're back by around 1 or so you should be fine. Looks like we won't have the full 16 so this could take less than an hour or so if people are active.

Tournament list:

Meatpie NEEDS TO ESCROW
Hoyasax (registered)
Ibavly NEEDS TO ESCROW
Chipleader NEEDS TO ESCROW
HokieGreg (maybe?) ARE YOU PLAYING?
IHJB (registered)
used stars (registered)
busto (registered)

Current pot = $120 ($80 in registration $40 from me).

Escrow to madamadadonk on pstars
Escrow to nemosindenial on rpm
Escrow to xmotownrcx on lock

If you MAY BE LATE OR MAY NOT MAKE IT: You can PM me your first 5/10/15/20 throws to ensure you participate. You obv won't be able to level/analyze your opponent this way but you also won't forfeit your $10.

Nobody's throw will be posted until their opponent's throw is also ready... so there's no chance for cheating (@Hoya & @Busto mostly).
