LOL. Thanks £10 to the charities it is. A small price to pay to give Matt some abuse I think. :=) I have updated the spreadsheets on the opening post accordingly. The Leader Board shows Adam ahead of Matt, but Matt is on the Final Table of today's main event as I write this. So thought for Adam's sake I'd get a Leader Board update in now :=) Good Luck to Natalie Bromley who is on the Final Table of the Mini and Adam asked me to pass on his best wishes for Matt in the main. (Well OK maybe he didn't) Cheers, Graham Posted by StayOrGo
As fate would have it Adam. I lost connection and couldn't update the opening post when you were ahead of Matt.
In Response to Re: Tournament Leader Board 2015 (Charity Prop Bet, Get Involved!) : As fate would have it Adam. I lost connection and couldn't update the opening post when you were ahead of Matt. Will update as planned on Thursday 12th Cheers, Graham Posted by StayOrGo
No worries Graham...that boy's ability to run good knows no limits.
The big names are piling on the pressure as Gareth Smith(GSmith13), Andy Young(chicknMelt), Matt Bates and Paul Garner(SoLack) all close the gap on Chris Cunliffe(rspca12) and Graham Carter(StayOrGo)
Updated spreadsheets on the opening post.(13/03/2015)
Just a reminder too, to please post to this thread if you win a main, mini or £55 BH.
ive been away for a week or so. things are getting closser now time to put the grind on. gl all tonight. Posted by rspca12
My volume has been down this month too Chris.
I'm in the process of moving house, so spent more time carrying boxes than playing poker. Should all be done by the 18th, then I'm away for my niece's wedding. So won't be fully grinding again until 22nd.
That's my excuse for the lack of progress anyway :=)
It's certainly getting interesting now some of the "usual suspects" are starting to make their presence felt.
I've finally got round to reading the whole thread.
I remember now why I didn't get involved before. I didn't want anyone to be upset if I seemed to favour one person and their charity over another...people can get the hump so easily on the internet.
Anyway, I don't want to be accused of being a skinflint and it's a great project with some amazing charities so I'd like to donate across the board without picking any one person.

Wow that's fantastic Neil. Thank you so much!
For clarification, do you want the £250 to be divided equally between all the charities, or to go to the prize pool of the top four finishers, which will be split 40%/30%/20%/10%?
Both are "neutral" and no need to name anyone specifically.
The "prize pool" option will result in more significant amounts being applied to the charities of the top 4, whilst the "equal split" option would result in £13.89 going to each of the 18 charities.
However, it is your generous donation, so your choice to either split it equally regardless of result or add it to the prize pool for the charities of the top 4.
Hi stayorgo... I never originally got involved in this as i was contemplating spending large chunks of this year abroad... but what i will do is donate £30 for any main event i manage to win... 1 so far, so (if possible) can i dontate £15 each to Chicknmelt and Bromley04's charities as they would have been the ones i would have gone for.

That's great, on behalf of Andy Young and Adam Bromley, I thank you very much indeed!
Ahh, gotcha Graham, thank you. I'll go for Option 5 then, please. Posted by Tikay10
Hi TK.
I hope it's OK, but I want to change your £50 sponsorship to go into the TLB charity prize pool instead of being split equally between all charities. It is still neutral, however it is easier to facilitate than giving £2.78 to each charity.
I hope this is OK, but if not, please let me know.
Hi, it has been decided that we better not use Sky Poker's name for the charity shield as we need permission from them to do so. So the names of the Cup and Shield are:
The Tim Carter TLB Cup and The Tournament Wins Charity Shield
If in the mean time someone wants to add a name to the Charity Shield, then please let me know your suggestions.
Hi Graham won the £55 speed last night (mbi) can you update this to the tournament wins charity prize pool and also update for the same tournament i won on sat night the 30th.

Let me know when and where to send.
I'm easy. Whatever you decide is fine by me. Great job by the way.
Thanks again for supporting this initiative. I will add your pledge to the charity prize pool.
Very kind and generous of you.
All the best and good luck at the tables.
Cheers,
Graham
Perhaps you can join as a competitor next year!
All the best Jordz.
Many thanks,

The Leader Board spreadsheets have been updated on the Opening Post.
Could all competitors please check that their "Tournament Wins" points are correct.
I will assume all are correct unless I hear otherwise.
Many thanks and good luck.
Graham

Well done mate and good luck in Vegas!
£10 to the "Tournament Wins" charity pool.
