Bracket Notes: * Qualifier2010 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship
CardPlayer.com Readers Contest
Welcome to the 2010 CardPlayer.com readers bracket contest for the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship! The tournament is tentatively scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. (PT) on Friday, March 5, so that's the deadline for bracket prediction submissions. (If it starts sooner, then submissions will be cut off whenever it starts.)
Follow along with CardPlayer.com's
live updates from the event to find out how you're doing, and visit our
NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship landing page to get all of the information about the event and previous years' brackets (for players' track records in the event).
All you have to do is pick a winner for each single-elimination match. (Since they're single-elimination, you don't need to type in anything in the "Score" field.) The final heads-up match is a best-of-three game, so please enter a score there to be used as a possible tie-breaker.
Each predictor's score is determined by adding 1 point for each correctly predicted first round game, then doubling for each additional round, e.g. 2 points for 2nd round games, 4 points for 3rd round, and so on. In the event that multiple people end with the same score AND the same tie-breaker answer, the winner will be determined by whoever had the most correct players in the Final Four (and, if still tied, the Elite Eight, and so on). If that final step doesn’t resolve a tie, the tie will be broken through a random drawing.
But there's more than just pride involved here -- we're putting up about
$1,000 in prizes to those who top the leader board!
