Sign up for the NPP Heads-Up Tournament on PokerStars

This was the invention of Nahanni74. She has not played at NPP in a while, and I don’t know why. The league is not as talented without her. Anyway, this was the original (and still valid) set up:

“Can we do a heads-up bracket tournament for the first 16 RSVP’s between Dec. 9 and the start of the new league? Like the heads up NBC Championship? Here is what I am thinking…

[Ed. Note: Not responsible for the content of women thinking or the damage wrought by same]

[New Ed. Note: This is actually turned out to be a great idea, and a good tourney set up! I guess I should retract the sarcastic, rude and chauvinistic comment I made last year.]

[New New Ed. Note: Or Not!]

Send in email to npokerp at yahoo dot com to get in. Or they can enter by commenting on the blog posting.

The NPP Committee draws the bracket. It is done in a super secret location, where full concentration can be given to the fairness and accuracy of said draw – in between lap dances.

People comment on the site or thru email to schedule their match. Faldo makes tourney on PS and emails the passwords to the players for the match.

Players can set their own price for the match, but the NPP standard for the first 4 rounds will be $1.20. Emails ONLY confirming a different entry fee must be received from each player - by Faldo - before Faldo will make it something different.

As the matches get completed, Faldo updates with a new post. Players are responsible for reading the site, finding their next opponent, getting contact information from Faldo, and making sure the correct results are posted.

Faldo has forfeit power for lack of response or delay of play – even if he is in tourney. [Ed. Note: heh-heh-heh!]

Eligible players is anyone who played at least one round at NPP during the season.
[Ed. Note: Yeah, ok. But ‘seniority’ might be a consideration taken in order to make the bracket manageable. Doubt it, but possible.]

The tournament should try to be completed before new league season begins.” - Nahanni74

Faldo’s secretary did a fine job of drafting the tourney rules. Get your entry in by commenting here – or better still – writing Faldo at npokerp at yahoo dot com.

Number of entries allowed and the cut off point for entries is solely in the discretion of the NPP Tournament Committee….or “Tiffany” - if she is working the night of the draw.

We have 5 players in right now. Hello?? I can hear you out there gasping at NoPutt changing the New NPP Player picture and putting up that shot of Tiger Wood's new love interest.

We now have 10 players in.

How does a losers bracket sound? A second bite at the apple? The NPP Tournament Committee is looking into this!

The only reason I can see to have a losers bracket is if NoPutt is playing
