Player's Lounge: 2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Bracket Challenge

I did this last year and got a few people to join, so I thought I'd do it again this year. Anyone who wants to participate will transfer me $5 via "Player Transfer."

The Game:

On the day of the drawing party (February 28th), I will make a bracket with all the match ups all the way through the championship. At this time, the players who are participating will have to enter his/her pick in this thread before play begins on February 29. Players who fail to enter his/her picks and have already paid the entry fee will forfeit the $5. Payments must be made prior to the first match being played or the entry is voided.

The Rules:

1) Picks for every round must be made prior to the first match.

2) Scoring:

- Round 1: Each correct answer will receive 1 point

- Round 2: Each correct answer will receive 2 points

- Round 3: Each correct answer will receive 3 points

- Round 4: Each correct answer will receive 4 points

- Round 5: Each correct answer will receive 5 points

- Championship Round: Correct answer will receive 6 points

3) The player with the most points will win the entire prize pool.

4) Any entry with an edit after the beginning of the first match is disqualified

lol, Orel Hershiser and Don Cheadle in the final.

I'm in. What date is the drawing party?

Most likely February 27th or 28th

Taken from CardPlayer:

The freerolls are being run on the .net. Also, there will only be 1 qualifier from FT, not 4.

What about the four entries from the NBC HU freerolls that FT is supposed to be sponsoring?

AND

More important,

Where ARE the NBC HU entry freerolls that Cardplayer announced FT already had underway? I have been looking and waiting but only seem to come across the PAD freerolls.

Isn't this the same software as ? Or do I have to download a seperate version for ?
