    I'm not really sure how this works, but I'd like to 'sponsor' Bromley (m) as he is playing for my favourite charity. 

    In for the full £50. 

    GL all.

    Great thanks Doh!
     
    Really appreciate it, I'm sure Adam does too! That's £50 to the RSPCA regardless of the result. I will update the spreadsheet accordingly. I will post the updated spreadsheet again, just before the live show on Sunday!
     
    Thanks again, have a great 2015! We are hoping Sky will provide some sort of a prize for those that sponsor the winning player. So if Adam won, you would qualify for that prize. Hopes this makes sense. It's still a bit fluid until we finalise details. 

    All the best!

    TOMMY TOPS THE LEADERBOARD!

    If ever I underestimated the challenge ahead, I only have to look at day1 of 2015 to see how good these guys are!

    I was knocked out of the £55 Speed B/H by nemesis Matt Bates and to top it all TommyD finished 2nd in the first Main Event of 2015!

    Outstanding Tommy!

    The gauntlet has been laid!

    Best not to talk about my results! :=(

    Hi,

    Nice thread happy to be involved and Tommy has got off to a flier ! 

    My charity will be cancer research uk purely because that awful disease has directly affected my family on multiple occasions and I'm sure many on this forum. 

    All good causes regardless and happy to help anyone of them should I lose !

    That's very generous of you Gandy! Just for clarification is that £150 total (£50 to each of top 3) or £50 split between top three.

    Thanks again, GL at the tables, and enjoy your travels!

    All the best

    Question for TK, or anyone who can answer.

    In order to promote this charity TLB2015 initiative. Would it be possible  for this thread to remain towards the top and highlighted? Similar to the way "The tournaments results" and "UKPC" threads are for example?
     
    Not sure who would have to do this? Or how? But would be great if we could do it.

    Cheers Graham

    OK m8. GL! I will not record this on the spreadsheet as it is "Conditional"

    But hope you make the top 30. All the best!

    Just in case there is anyone out there who still thinks Poker is just "Luck"

    Matt Bates and Ryan Spittles have again made the Final Table of the £55 BH
     
    (Playing now, why not watch Ryan going for the "Double" after yesterday's win!)

    For me, slightly better than yesterday, a modest $300 up on the day! :=) (Tortoise and the Hare springs to mind :=)) 

    GL to the guys on Ryan and Matt's Final Table, you may need it! :=)

    Graham,

    I'm starting to make sense of all this now.

    My £50 donation is purely for Charity, please, rather than part of it to a competitor.

    If I am obliged to nominate a competitor, I nominate you, as you are making all this effort. You can decide which Charity my donation goes to.

    Please send me a PM with your Bank Details, & I'll do a Bank TX immediately. alternatively, if you plan to come along to DTD for the UKPC, I'll pay you in pound notes there. 

    I retweeted your Tweet this morning, I have aboiut 3,500 Followers, I also added Neil Channing (12,500 Followers) & Thewy (3,500 Followers) to the re-tweet, so the word has now been spread to lots of people.

    Good luck with this

    Thx for spreading the word TK!

    For clarification. ALL Sponsor Money and Competitor Money raised goes to charity.

    To enable Sponsors to have as much freedom as possible as to where their money goes. They have five choices. (This sounds complicated, but it really is not.) Changed from 4 options, to 5 to cater for Gandy's donation.

    Choice 1 (WINNER'S CHARITIES)
    With this choice the sponsor money is effectively added to the "Competitor Prize Pool." The net result is that 50% of the donation goes to the TLB2015 winners charity, 30% to the 2nd place's charity and 20% to 3rd place's charity.

    Choice 2 (SPECIFIC  COMPETITORS'S CHARITY)
    100% of the donation goes to the charity of the competitor being sponsored regardless of TLB2015 result

    Choice 3 (FIFTY/FIFTY)
    50% of the donation goes to the charity of the competitor being sponsored and 50% goes to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Winner's charities, split up as in choice one.

    Choice 4 (WINNERS EQUAL SPLIT)
    The donation is equally split between charities of the the top 3 competitors on the TLB2015 leader board  (This option added to accommodate Gandy's donation)

    Choice 5 (ALL CHARITIES)
    Sponsor money is split equally between all the charities of those taking part, regardless of result.

    So TK, if you want to support everyone equally you could select option 5 for example.

    Regarding the collecting of monies, as no donations will be made until the result is know in 2016, we will not collect money until then. How we will facilitate this, will be communicated nearer the time. Many thanks again for all the support received!

    Cheers Graham
