Heads Up Tournament Structure

Hey folks! As we draw nearer to the heads up tournament on the 21st we are nailing down the structure for you guys.
The tournament will take place as a ladder. $30 Buy in with no rebuys or addons. When you come in we'll randomly choose matches by drawing numbers. Your number will determine who you play against in your first match. The first matches will be pass deal, best 2 out of 3 to proceed to second round. Starting stacks will be 6,250 with starting blinds of 50/100. Blind rounds will be 10 minutes long. Blinds will proceed as such:
50/100
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1000
1000/2000
(Matches may be capped at 2000 Big Blind, we'll have to assess based on time.)

If you win your first round, you'll start Round 2 with your won chip stack. So stacks will go:
Round 1 - $6,250 stack w/ $50/100 Blinds starting
Round 2 - $12,500 stack w/ $50/100 Blinds starting
Round 3 - $25,000 stack w/ $100/200 Blinds starting
Round 4 - $50,000 stack w/ $200/400 Blinds starting
Finals - $100,000 stack w/ $300/600 Blinds starting

Round 4 and the Finals will be determined by best 3 out of 5 matches. Round 4 will determine the money winners. The losers of the round 4 matches will go to a heads up match to determine 4th Place and 3rd Place payouts. The winners of Round will will go to Finals heads up match to determine 2nd Place and 1st Place.

At the beginning of the tournament we'll have a quick shuffling demonstration to ensure everyone is getting the chance for even hands played for any match. Payouts are based on full 36 person entry. If you draw for one of the prelim matches to get into the top 32 the buy in will only be $20. These matches will play the same structure without advancing stacks into main rounds.
Payouts again are
4th Place - $100
3rd Place - $150
2nd Place - $250
1st Place - $500



Good luck, we're looking forward to what is hopefully the first of steady heads up tournaments.
