With the summer here and temperatures rising, it's getting more and more challenging to find a cool day to get 32 of us together in my place. So, a new summer tradition begins this year...
The Bristol Street Nightclub and Casino presents...

The Bristol Street Heads-Up Championship is a
double elimination tournament. (ie. you are knocked out of the tournament once you've recieved your second loss, which means it's possible to lose your first match and still win the tournament)
Once
32 players sign-up, a date will be given for the live draw of the brackets. Matches then may start anytime after this. Please pay your entry fee to the Tournament Director as soon as you can.
All bracket information will be kept at Bristol Street as well as online
here. The matches will
not be played all at once. When you have a match, it's the responsibilty of the two players involved to arrange a time to get together and play according to the rules listed below. The players are free to use Bristol Street as a neutral location to play their matches. Match results are to be sent to the tournament director once complete.
If a match is played outside of Bristol Street the players take the risk that no Tournament Director will be on hand to resolve disputes. Matches which involve Top 8 finishes are
strongly recommended to be played at Bristol Street. Matches that involve a Top 4 finish are
required to be played here.
As a reminder, all events at Bristol Street are
rake-free!!!
Match Format
Each match will have the same format with each player starting with
6,000 chips. The suggested distribution is 12 x (green-25), 12 x (black-100), 9 x (purple-500). If a different combination of colour and/or distribution is used, both players need to be made aware of this.
Blinds levels are
20 minutes long and breaks are taken on an as-needed basis. The blind schedule is; 25-25, 25-50, 50-100, 75-150, 100-200, 150-300, 200-400, 300-600(capped) I'm anticipating matches to last roughly
1.5 hours (though, of course, could be as short as one hand)
