HEADHUNTER CHALLENGE

You are in a tournament, playing the best poker of your life and have already knocked out five players. You are almost at the final table and now find yourself all-in with pocket aces. You take a horrible beat and walk away with a few cents more than your buy-in.

This won’t happen in a Headhunter tournament, where you earn cash for every player you eliminate, AND still receive your share of the prize pool for making it to the money!

Take your seat in a Headhunter tournament and find out if you're a predator or if you're the prey. It’s a jungle out there, go hunting but don’t lose your head!

The Headhunter Challenge is a new type of multi-table tournament where a player truly becomes a hunter and wins cash for every player they eliminate. A portion of every buy-in is assigned to players’ “Heads”.

Anyone who knocks a player out of the tournament will receive cash. The more players someone eliminates, the more cash they win – and the bigger a target they become – as the value of their own head increases with every head they take!

All players who enter a Headhunter tournament pay the same buy-in + entry fee. The prize pool is then divided, with a portion being allocated to heads, and the rest going towards the standard prize pool. Although it’s configurable, the standard Headhunter tournament will award 50% of the prize pool based upon heads that are knocked out and 50% as the regular prize pool.

In the Main Lobby, click on the Tourney tab. Headhunter tournaments can be easily identified by the unique “HH” icon displayed on the left hand side of the tournament listing.

Select a Headhunter tournament that has a status of Registering by double-clicking the tournament which will bring up the Tournament Lobby. To enter the tournament, click on the Register button. The Tournament Lobby displays Headhunter statistics such as the number of heads collected in the tournament, the value of these heads and the total prize winnings, all of which are updated as the tournament progresses.

The Tournament Lobby displays stats such as Headhunter ratings and number of heads collected.

Game play is the same as any other multi-table tournament, however just after registration closes, the value of every player's head will be calculated based on their Headhunter rating. The player Info Box displays how much each player's head is worth in the lower right corner. Knock that player out, and collect a portion of his head value (standard is 75%) and increase the price on your head!

The Player Info Box shows that this player’s head is worth $7.29.

The tournament continues until one player wins it all. If you have collected any heads, the value of these heads will be credited to your account after the tournament has finished. If you have finished in the money, your share of the prize pool will also be credited to your account. Should you win the tournament, you get your own head value in addition to the value of the heads you collected, as well as the first place prize!

There is no splitting of heads in a Headhunter tournament. If a player is eliminated by two or more players who split the pot, the value of his head is awarded to the winning player with the largest stack. If the stacks are equal, the winning player closest to the button collects his opponent's head.

Although it’s configurable, the standard Headhunter tournament will calculate the value of a player’s head based upon 50% of the head value prize pool spread evenly and the other 50% based upon a player’s HH rating.

The HH rating calculates how a player has performed in his last 15 Headhunter tournaments within a 90 day period.

The Headhunter Leaderboard ranks the top 250 players and shows All-Time Kills.

It displays your HH ranking as a Headhunter based on the last 15 HH tournaments you have played in. Your HH ranking will determine how much your head is worth in your next Headhunter tournament.
