you can play as low as you want, $5-matches if you wish. Just ship OP $25 ASAP! The list so far includes some really good HU players, so I don't blame anyone, myself included , who'll not want to play some of these players for a significant (to them) amount of money.

Edit: I am really off my game (i.e. if I had any 2 begin w/) these days, lol. Meant to say to ship $25 to Pred, NOT OP, since Pred is our official banker!

My BR wouldn't allow huge SnG buyins either, so people may have to bare with me in relation to stakes.

All--

One quick suggestion: could we have a fairly short, fairly strictly enforced time limit for each round? The last time I played this, rounds took something like 11 days each, because they were supposed to take a week and people inevitably took longer. People got annoyed and found the whole thing ponderous.

I know the OP says one week per round, but how about 4 days instead?

All my best,

--Nate

I did not participate last year, but 4 days to complete 3 matches, IMO sounds quite reasonable, so I am in favor.

according to the OP, each match is 3 games, and both players will have a week to complete these 3 games. So if you have a week I don't see why all three have to be completed in one session, unless of course that's what both of the players agree on.

hence why I am in favor of Nate's proposal to reduce it from 7 to 4 days.

I'm ok playing as high as $100 vs anyone, or as low as my opponent would like. I'm also ok with all 3 HU SNG's happening simultaneously, or over the course of a few days/back2back if times were agreed upon. I don't think a week is to long, but anything over should be a DQ IMO for the person not willing to play. Of course I could see unforeseen circumstances making room for an exception, & believe the TD should have the ability to allow for that.

TIMING

A faster tourney is far preferable to one that drags out. but for this to work people with time consuming obligations; such as jobs, families, hobbies, etc. who may be living in different time zones have to find a specified time when they are both available to play poker. everyone should be able to find time given a week, hence the 7 days. It is encouraged to complete the matches sooner rather then later, because if they can all be completed and reported in less then 7 days we will re-pool and continue. as the field gets smaller it should hopefully get faster, and perhaps the time allocation shortened, but at the onset I think it sensible to start with 7 days alloted. If an individaul is causing delays, when it seems reasonable..a forfiet will be incurred in order to keep the challenge moving. No one wants a round to take 11 days.

if your 'strategy' is to not play the match--all 3 sngs-- at one time, then i believe it would be proper ettiquite to inform your opponent prior to starting and be sure he is willing and able to schedule other times. but unforeseen things do come up in life, and i believe there will be times when it is unavoidable that a match that was intended to be completed at one time isn't.

if that was tl;dnr then what strikeR said!
