Default Heads up freeroll

I was wondering if maybe we could try a heads up freeroll. They have that one going on NBC with all the pros and it looks pretty fun. I don't know how hard it would be to get something like this going but it just seemed like it would be a cool twist to what we normally do.

I think thats a very cool idea if it is possible to do. If we can have a headssup freeroll it would be really fun, but it would probally last a while but I wouldnt mind. Hopfully we can.

Sounds just a tad impractical. I was watching the Heads Up World Championship on the box a while back, and some of those guys were lasting well over 100 hands. It only takes one table per round to hold things up. So given that about half the entrants in one of our regular freerolls can't find the time to play a few hours and don't play, who exactly is going to have the time to spare for several rounds times the time for 100+ hands?

If people were prepared to commit to a round or two a day (and actually mean it) then I guess you could spread it over several days. But I wouldn't be optimistic about even that given the high numbers of don't shows in our regular tourneys.

10 out of 10 for thinking of it in the first place though.

I know that full tilt used to have heads up play money. Maybe you could make a thread per round and then the two could make a time to play it. Just as long as it was done in 3 days. or whatever you decide to give them time, if they couldn't do it, You could place them both in out for failure to make the round. and the next player would get a bye. If they couldn't resolve it among themselves.
And if you wanted you could even make the last 10 a final table. Giving them points for each player they knock out. In addition to placing. So if the first place person only knock out the second place person they don't get all the money. As a way to check the last hand you could have them send u the email from requesting the history of hand #. Just a thought to make sure everyone is honest

Heads up freeroll is a cool idea but i doubt any poker room will allow you to do that.

Heads up freeroll might take a while because you have to wait for every pair of people to finish.....ive played a few ehads up matches with 4 people and it still takes a decent amount of time.....try doing it with like 200 or 300 people....it would take a while
