Invitation: Double Elimination Heads-Up NLH Tournament (Mon Sep 21 and Mon Sep 28)

Our Red Chip study group is inviting all members of the Red Chip Forum (this includes you!) to participate in a 16-player Double Elimination Heads Up tournament starting Monday Sep 21, and concluding Monday Sep 28. There is no cost to play, so there is no prize, but bragging rights for the champion will be premium because you will be competing against players from this forum including our study group.
"Double Elimination" means all players will play until they either have 2 losses or win the tournament, so at least 2 matches are guaranteed.
Each match will have the following structure (which we designed and play-tested so that 90% of the matches should conclude in 30 minutes or less.) Each Player will start with 3000 Tournament Chips. Blinds increase every 3 minutes. The Blind Structure will be:
The overall tournament structure is available here:

To register, either reply to this thread, OR PM me. Make sure you will be able to play for the given tournament times! I will keep the running list of registrants (and/or alternates) on this thread.
The tournament start time is Monday Sep 21, 9:00 PM Eastern Time / 6:00 PM Pacific Time. 15 minutes prior to the tournament, I will start a zoom call, and draw registrant names randomly for seeding. Any player who hasn't shown up 5 minutes after the start time may be replaced by an alternate. If there is no player 15 minutes after the start time for a match, the match will be declared a forfeit. The plan is to play Rounds 1-4 on Monday Sep 21, and Rounds 5-8 on Monday Sep 28. However, if players at the end of Round 4 want to continue on the same night, we will continue as long as both players for each remaining match are able to play.
If there are any changes to the match or tournament structure, we will update this thread.

We have 7 days left to fill 8 more entries. Please let me know if I missed anyone, and all members of this forum are invited to confirm a spot!
What site is it on?
Thanks!!!
I plan to run it in the pppoker club we created for our study group (which is free for anyone to join.)
Then I plan to make updates for the tournament in all of these places:
- On this thread
- On a live zoom channel while the tournament is running
- On the worksheet link from the original post.
Here is an updated list:
1. BigDaddy
2. CriminalBizzy
3. cxy123
4. Leontil
5. AngryPig
6. themouse
7. Craig_C
8. Eon137

If we reach 16 registrants, we could certainly add alternates in case registrants don't show up.
(edit: Internet lag, not Loose Aggressive)
(re-edit: if it is Loose aggressive, it is mine not yours...)

We now have a complete field of 16.
- I will still take alternates to take the spots of no-shows.
- I will post a zoom link about 30 minutes before the tournament.
- About 15 minute before the tournament i will pull seeds out of a hat.
- After the matches are ready, participants can start playing immediately.
I mentioned earlier that 5 minutes after the start time, if a player hasn't shown up at all, I will replace that player with an alternate.
However, if the player is showing any signs of being around and just having technical difficulties, we will do what we can to hold the spot.
Oh, and at the moment we don't have any alternates, so please let me know if there is any interest!
Thanks!

I have added some optional consolation games for players after they have had their two losses. This is to guarantee at least 4 games for all who showed up. If your opponent doesn't want to play in them, we can find alternates. Note that these consolation games have no impact on the originally announced tournament structure... That is after you lose your 2nd game, there is no path left to the championship game, they are just for practice, (although there are paths to unofficial placements.)
Good luck everyone! And thanks for participating!

Understood. Although my daughter did draw a very good starting seed for you!
