The Draw

Another unique facet of this event will be the eagerly anticipated draw for the heads-up phase of this event. With many feuds looking to be settled on the felt today, the players were strong advocates of a system to allow the "dream" matchups to occur.

One captain will nominate a player from his own team, and that player will then select an opponent from the other team. The captains will alternate this selection process until all first round match-ups have been chosen.

From there the tournament will progress like a standard heads-up event, with the only condition that players from the same team will avoid playing against each other where possible.

The draw is currently underway over at the Las Vegas bar, where the drinks are already flowing! We'll have the lineup for you shortly.
