Heads up tourney

Here's a link to a preliminary bracket structure. Also, Adam's current thinking as to how the game goes.

So I was thinking about the rules we should put in place for the heads-up tournament. Here's what I'm thinking. It will be single-elimination, but there will be consolation matches to determine final rank and so that everyone gets to play all night. Each match will be best two-out-of-three games, first to win 2 games will advance to the next round. I'm still trying to figure out what would be a good chip stack, I'm thinking maybe 500 in chips per player per game. Blinds start at 10/20, then 25/50 after 15 minutes each game.

Assuming we use the finish from Thursday as the seeding for May 1, I'll have the bracket for you as soon as we're done. I think 500 in chips per game will be good, because we won't want a match taking longer than an hour if we're going to be done at a decent time.

There's going to be consolation matches to place everyone on that night, and then the points will be handed out like they normally will be.
