Tag Team Poker...?

FlashFlushFlashFlush
edited March 2010 in Poker Chat
Had an idea today while bored at work. Would you be able to do a "Tag Team" tournament. Don't know if this has ever been done before, if not Sky could be the first ever!

You are in teams of 2 (could be more) and basicly only 1 of you plays at a time. You play for an hour and then the tournament freezes and finishes. Then the next day the tournament resumes with the same chipstacks, but the other team member having the seat. This could then be played out till the end. I had the idea as I feel I am a pretty good player towards the end of a tournament, and if I cash I normally win, but getting to the cash is my problem so thought of a team game.

Let me know what you all think and we could put it to sky if everyone likes it.

    i like the basic idea of it. sounds like a laugh can imagine some scary looking tag teams imagine being up against two total players teamed together.

     maybe changing each level might be better? just a idea

    I like it flash - can ya pick ya partner then? - or is it enter, and get drawn out randomly? - maybe just play 2 separate tournys, and make combined results win - then both are sure to get a decent game.

    Impossible. Would be too many incidents where other team members didn't play (wernt on sky poker).

    It's just not reliable to stretch a tournament over a number of days and trust a stranger is going to commit to it.

    Changing each level might be an idea but it's not something i'd ever take part in.

    Sounds a great idea, very similar format for when they do the poker nations type tourneys where one player plays for a certain time and the team captain can buzz the change in line up from the side lines. I vote yes good idea.

    it would have to 2 friends or 2 players that are prepared for the tourny and could communicate via pms.
    dont think 2 randoms would work.very good idea flash

    and what happens when the first guy goes out? the other guy will be a bit annoyedi dont think it would work tbh, and you got put with someone who was sat out jeez. the combined tourny results sound good. maybe run em simultaneously,

    it sounds abit like the poker nations thingy.

    How about getting 3 teams of 2, and playing a cash table against each other.

    Each player plays for an hour, then you switch, and then see who is up the most after so many hours?

    You could do it like league format thing.

    just an idea
