HULA?
 

Um. Is this going down this year? Or has it already been down?

I searched it and it seems the last one was last year... Oh well just wondering. If anyone knows anything or is planning anything put it in this thread.

I think we did it like feb/march of this year, so i'm assuming it would be around then for this year?

Though obv i am down despite saying i'd never want to do it again

Re: HULA?

This ends up happening randomly whenever someone wants to take responsibility and organize it.

Re: HULA?
 

I'm in

Re: HULA?
 

count me in, haven't played since the first one and I went missing half way through that as well but I can commit this time.

Re: HULA?

Re: HULA?

Re: HULA?
 

I'm pretty sure I suck at HU. I need validation. I'm in.

Although I am a phenomenal tournament organiser (I organise our family botche tournament every christmas) I am currently in exams so I won't be able to do it for a few weeks, if at all.

1. However, I just wanted to clarify that HULA was/is a team event. I would suggest teams of 4.

2. Team selection should be via draft simply previously organised? I think in the past it has been via draft.
Perhaps people can enter a team, and anyone who is a 'freeagent' can be picked up in the draft?

3. However this would make it like a league, that would take months and my understanding is that HULA is like a 4week thing.

4.i. I think we should have a 32 team max. Using the same format as the World Cup. i.e round robin then elimination phase

ii. Or perhaps a double eliminatin format ala 'Mighty Ducks 2'
(this is quite good altho this movie explains the format rather poorly'

5. In reference to Mbiker, I think the entry fee per palyer should be smaller. This is not supposed to be an 'elite only' event and a 1k price tag will remove alot of players. We want it to be like the FA Cup where some average .5/1 guy vs Hoss_TBF for a 30mins match and wins!

6. Ok so Yeah, please everyone reply with their thoughts and input and if we get all the teams and stuff organised I may be bothered putting a fixture together!

JacksonTens,

Given that this IS Mid-High stakes I dont think 1k is to outta line.

Id prefer to have something decent on the line in the hopes that everone takes it seriously.

If we only put like 100 bucks in I could see some of the better players not caring, and as such the matches being not as much fun

Re: HULA?
 

JacksonTens what you've proposed will never work.

"1. However, I just wanted to clarify that HULA was/is a team event. I would suggest teams of 4."

Bad idea. You want an odd number. 5 is the way to go.

"2. Team selection should be via draft simply previously organised? I think in the past it has been via draft.
Perhaps people can enter a team, and anyone who is a 'freeagent' can be picked up in the draft?"

The draft is the only thing that makes it fair. Being able to enter a team would not be fair to many IMO.

"3. However this would make it like a league, that would take months and my understanding is that HULA is like a 4week thing.

4.i. I think we should have a 32 team max. Using the same format as the World Cup. i.e round robin then elimination phase"

This will fade away/never be finished. HULA was like 5 weeks last year and I didn't even play all my matches (a lot of people didn't).

"This is not supposed to be an 'elite only' "

Meh.

Sounds like you don't want to start HULA. You want to start a HU league of sorts.

And if we ARE going to do HULA we will need to contact Victor who has the current HULA trophy as captain of the winning team.

Re: HULA?
 

i'll make gambol

Re: HULA?
 

i'm down.

nothing more fun than tilting to a good 2p2er on a playmoney table.

Re: HULA?
 

am i bad enough not to get drafted? i've convinced myself over the last month that i suck at all forms of poker.

Re: HULA?
 

let's do this soon.

Re: HULA?
 

I'll play in another HULA I guess but I agree with everything danza has said here.

Re: HULA?
 

I'll play again

Re: HULA?
 

Yo.

Re: HULA?
 

it looks like there will be a ton of people interested so i suggest we do 2 leagues...obv seperated by stakes/experience.

Re: HULA?
 

what would be the dividing line? 10 inches?

Re: HULA?
 

wow 10 is alot maybe more like 7 or 8.

Re: HULA?
 

lol, yeah i figure either way i am [censored].

Re: HULA?
 

By the way, I'm in too -- I did it a couple years ago but missed the last one because I stopped reading the SH forums. Can someone notify us full ring pussies when this goes down? I'm sure you'd like to assert your hyper-aggro 6-max dominance over us B&M 9-handed monkeys any day.

Re: HULA?
 

Am i the only one who sees no enjoyment in playing tough players hu?

(i do play lots of hu)
