2016 TLB CHARITY THREAD:TOTAL PLEDGES £4,525. FINAL RESULTS ARE IN. OUR CHAMPION. YEP YOU GUESS

StayOrGo

Hi all.

I'll give it one more week to try and get the three players for the Heads Up competition, if not I'll make the draw anyway at 00:01 on Friday 12th Aug. (sooner if we get the three players before then)

At the moment that would mean three people would get a bye.

As we will be starting slightly earlier than the originally stated 1st Sept, I will set a deadline of Friday 9th Sept for first round matches to be played. The following rounds will each have a two week deadline.

Clearly the earlier that matches are played the better, so feel free to arrange fixtures as soon as the draw is made.

In the mean time any assistence to get three more players would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps people can use the chat box during games to encourage people to enter.

Cheers,

Graham.

P.S If you could cut and paste the following msg in the chat box on your tables (in two parts), that would really help. Many thanks.

Hi all, StayOrGo has started a charity heads up comp if anyone is interested. We need 2 more players. Neil Channing, TK, Ian Simpson, Rich Orford all playing.

Hi wineli, thanks for your interest.

We do just need you to make a pledge to the charities involved. This is purely an amount of your choice.

Is that OK?

That's great, thx AJ.

I won't collect the pledges until January 2017.

As you are donating to a specific charity you will have the choice to donate direct to them in January or via the Charity Bank Account I have set up.

Nothing to do until January either way.

Thanks again and GL

Hi.

Just a quick note on the pledges.

The money that has been pledged from Sponsors, unless stated otherwise (ie for a specific charity), goes into the prize pool for the main TLB charity competition.

However it was suggested to me that perhaps the 1st and 2nd place finishers in the Heads Up competition, should win something for their own chosen charity.

This seems reasonable to me, and as such, if there is no objection, I would like to use £320 from the "Tournament Wins" prize pool to go to the chosen charities of the winner and 2nd in the heads up comp.

Namely: £200 to the winners chosen charity and £120 to the runner up's chosen charity.

Don't worry if you don't have a chosen charity as yet, if you finish 1st or 2nd in the Heads Up competition, you can make your decision then. It just provides a bit of an extra incentive to the people involved.

The reason I have chosen to take it from the "Tournament Wins" pool is that this is most likely to be the largest "pot" of money at the end of 2016.

If anyone has any objections to this, please let me know.

Many thanks and GL.

Cheers,

Graham.

P.S. I will put this on both posts.

Hi all.

The spreadsheets on the opening post have been updated to reflect the latest TLB2016 league standings.

All to play for as we approach 2/3rd's of the way through the year.

GL all!

I know I'm not a comptetitor but I'd like to pledge an additional £10 to the pot as I was lucky enough to do well in the £55 speedy last night (only prob because Geldy is off on holiday lol).

Hi Rose, congrats on winning the speed.

Thank you once again for your open handed generosity.

That takes your total pledges to £130, is that OK?

It really is very kind of you indeed.

Cheers,

G

P.S. Note for Aussie, this increases the sponsor donations from £1,210 to £1,220, which when added to the current Competitor donations brings the total to £3,280. I will update the spreadsheets on the opening post shortly.

Many thanks all!

Thanks to Adam's win and the additional £10 pledged by Rose, I am happy to say we have now reached the £3,300 mark.

Last years total raised was £4,188, so it will be tough to beat that, but £3,300 is an excellent total and will help many worthwhile charities.

The opening post spreadsheets have been updated with the latest standings.

Thanks again to all involved!

Hi all.

We have a new tournament on Tuesday's at 9pm.

The £220 SKY HIGH roller. (£8K GUARANTEED)

Regarding the "Tournament Wins" comp, should this count as 10pts like the main events, or 2pts like the £55BH, or should we not count this one, as perhaps it's too select a field.

Will go with the majority.

Cheers,

G

StayOrGo

With a new schedule coming out, it may be necessary to re-vamp the points system for the tournament wins comp soon. However, for now, all we know is that there will be a "Sky High" Roller on Tuesday's at 9pm.

Still awaiting feedback from competitors as to what points, if any, the Sky High Roller should carry.

Cheers,

G

Posted by StayOrGo

Hi Graham,

As you say there may be a need for a re-vamp based on the new schedule.  In terms of runners the new High Roller seems more akin to the 9pm BH than a main event.   Cash value to the winner is maybe 3x the value of the 9pm however.

If you want to include it, I'd suggest 5 points to reflect the above.  However, there's an argument not to include it at all rather than change things at this point.  I'd probably favour the latter given we are nearly three quarters of the way through the year and revisit for next year.

Hi Matt, yes I think you make a good point.

Unless people feel strongly against, I propose, as Matt suggested, that we leave it as it is, for this year, and take a look at the new MTT schedule etc, wih view to amending in 2017. So, for now, it won't count towards Tournament Wins points.

Thanks for the feedback Matt.

Cheers,

Graham
