Littlewoods HeadHunter Tournaments (credit: Littlewoods Poker)

Scenario: 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 quid more than your buy-in.

This won't happen in a Littlewoods 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!

HOW TO PLAY

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!

STANDARD SETTINGS

Prize pool 50% heads /50% pool

Starting head pricing 50% HH rating /50% flat

Head prizes 75% cash /25% head increase

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.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1. Choose Your Headhunter Tournament

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.

Step 2. Start Playing

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!

Step 3 Tournament Results

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!

Splitting Heads?

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.

Headhunter Rating and the Headhunter Leaderboard

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.

Formulas

Single tournament HH value:

HH value = (Number of heads eliminated from tournament / total entrants or '100' - whichever is smaller) x 1000)) + 10
This is rounded to the nearest whole number, and cannot be higher than 100.

HH rating:

Average of the HH value scores over past 15 tournaments, using a score of “10” for each missing HH value in the past 15 tournament averaging.

The Headhunter Leaderboard ranks players by the percentage of players they have eliminated in the tournaments they have played.

On top of that, the player at the top of the weekly leaderboard is a Weekly Poker Champion and is invited to participate in a weekly final.
Bounty Tournaments

Every player wants to knock a big name out of a poker tournament. Celebrities, professional poker players, Leaderboard winners – all might be assigned a cash bounty prior to the start of a Bounty tournament. These players are under heavy pursuit but they will be up for the challenge, as they get their own bounty if they win the tournament.

HOW TO PLAY

Bounty tournaments are an exciting new way for players to earn extra cash in tournaments. All players who enter a bounty tournament pay the same entry fee. On top of the regular tournament prize pool, certain players in the tournament will be on a list of bounty players – with a prize on their head! Knock them out of the tournament and claim your prize.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1. Choose Your Bounty Tournament

In the Main Lobby, click on the Tourney tab. Bounty tournaments can be easily identified by the unique “B” icon displayed on the left hand side of the tournament listing. Select a Bounty tournament that has a status of Registering – these are ready to join. Bounty money is always money added, which means that players are never contributing to other player's bounties!

Step 2. Start Playing

Beyond the regular game play, in these tournaments the bounty players are lurking at certain tables. Check the tournament lobby for players whose names appear in orange – those are your targets. The amount of their bounty is displayed beside their name.

Step 3. Eliminating a Bounty Player

The tournament will continue until one player has won all the chips. If you have eliminated a bounty player, the bounty 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.

Bounty Tournament Rules

• A player wins multiple bounties if they eliminate more than one bounty player.

• Bounties are never split! If a bounty player is eliminated by two or more players who split the pot, the bounty is awarded to the winning player with the largest stack. If the stacks are equal, the winning player closest to the button receives the bounty.

• If a bounty player wins the tournament, they keep their own bounty.
