Forum Heads-Up Championship! ------ Salad24 Takes It Down & Is The 2011 Forum Heads-Up Champion!

Evening All,
I've heard so many people on here want a HU competition (me included) and seen as Sky aint got round to doing it yet, I thought I should arrange something between us forum folk.
My idea is basically a knockout tournament, 64 players, so we'll have 32 matches in the first round (best of 3 in £1.05 HU games) the winner will progress to round 2 and so on, here's the full breakdown I have in mind...
Round 1 - 64 players - Best of 3 (£1.05s)
Round 2 - 32 players - Best of 3 (£1.05s)
Round 3 - 16 players - Best of 3 (£2.10s)
Round 4 - 8 players - Best of 3 (£2.10s)
Round 5 - 4 players - Best of 3 (£3.15s)
Round 6 - 2 players - Best of 5 (£5.25s)
I'll have to have a word with the powers that be to see if we can get a prize for winning this and maybe a runner up prize.
Despite the very high level of interest in this competition, I have sadly had to set a cap of 64 players to ensure it finishes this side of Christmas and is managable. I'm sure we can arrange something bigger and better for the new year, and the champion can try to retain his crown.
A Tip from IrishRover to avoid random joiners
Both players should sit in a freeplay HU table, from here, one should open the £1 HU game and let the other player know they have done so, the other player can then join straight away which should limit the risk of random joiners. I also suggest that people stick to 1 table at a time, so that you can just click on re-match at the end without danger of random joiners.
Facebook Group
We also now have a Facebook group courtesy of DJBlack which is a great way to chat with other members and set up your heads up games to avoid random joiners.

Big congratulations to Salad24 for taking it down, Splashies for getting to the final and everyone else who took part and made it run smoothly.
Prizes will be announced ASAP once I get word from Tikay.
My apologies for delay in info over the prizes but hopefully I can agree with Tikay some prizes for the next one we have and then we can now right from the outset for the next competition.
Keep your eyes peeled in the new year!
