I emailed Justin about this and agree with all he said in his reply to me. Doubt anyone else would be interested in this, but I figured I would gauge the interest.
Have a 5k or 10k entry and take up to 10 players
(you may only get ppl like Jesse, Chris, SVB, Matlock, Henny, Gabe, but you may also get Appleton, Alex, and others.
Anyway you play an ahead tournament. (i.e.) 5 players 10 playing cards go out onto the table player 1 steps up draws a K spades and player 2 draws a J diamonds, player 3 draws a K spades so players 1 and 3 will be playing. The match would be a 5 ahead on a bar table and you must lose 3 times to be out of things.
After each round is played, everyone goes back into the hat and you redraw. A lot of people like those tournaments because you can make it through until the very end and not have to play the best people, or you can draw the best person 2 times.
5 ahead would be exciting, someone could break and win the set, but that would only be one loss. It hasn't been done and I think that using the you wouldn't have to draw a champion and keeping the ahead part low to say 5 might draw in people like Archer, St. Louis Guys, Cliff, Morra, Chris, etc.
Of course the 5 ahead could be adjusted to 3 or 4 ahead, but the idea here is an ahead match and that you could play the same person 3 times or any avoid them totally until the final match.
An ahead match totally changes the styles of play and I remember the midnight madness at JOB, Jesse had 3 or 4 in a row.
So the questions here are, would you support this on a PPV,
Would you stake a player?
