HUC5 Parameters
As HUC4 Champeeeeeen and newly appointed HUC5 Commissioner I hereby layout the structure for HUC5:
Number of Players: 32* (first pay, first served)
Entry Fee: $30 (paid in advance to Fuel55 at FullTilt or Stars)
Places Paid: 4 (1st thru 4th will be paid $432, $288, $144 and $96, respectively)
Structure: Preliminary rounds will be best of 3 and Final 4 will be best of 5
Organization: Players will have 5 days per round to organize and complete their match - the winner will give me the match results
Suggested games: Poker Stars HU SNGs with NO blind increases** - these games are the true test of skill and don't ever create "shootout" situations. Of course each pairing can determine the game/price point that best suits them. And, of course, side bets are encouraged.
* If the response is particularly overwhelming I will consider increasing the field to 64 players.
** These SNGs come in a variety of entry price points ($105, $52.50, $31.50, $21, and $10.50)
Once you pay please email me your full name, blog, user name on Stars and Tilt so that I can compile a player database. As always my email is fuel55 at veltheer dot com.

I obviously love HU matches; but games with no blind increases (while definitely showing the most skill) may take too long for us folks with kids.
For example, I just played 1 $10 HU SNG with no blind increases and as expected the guy wasn't the greatest of players (not that I am); but the match was pretty much one sided and still took 90 hands and took 41 minutes.
Makes me wonder what a more even match would take, time wise?
So, for now, I believe tha I am on the fence for this challenge until I see some others reactions to this.

I 2nd wonka. I would be in if it was something other than no blind increases. I don't want to play a best of 3 HU match that takes 2-3 hrs/match.
If it gets changed, I'm in. If not, no worries.
