    Hi Gary and all.

    I just got a message from FeelGroggy.

    He's really sorry, but he needs to cancel today, but will be available tomorrow.

    Gary, I suggest you reschedule for tomorrow if you are still available then.

    Cheers,

    G

    Looks like this match is probably going to be played tomorrow now.

    However, I am going to make the semi-final draw at 9pm tonight, as I don't think DarkAngel can bear the suspense any longer.

    Wow, what a game! Unlucky Groggy

    Daughter screaming on the stairs in the final match was a challenge but maybe she is good luck!

    Now up to £90 donation - proving a pricey run of form!

    Now the semi's where I feel I will be second to the support from the rail!

    UL Danny, but great comeback Gary, well played!

    I forgot about your heads up pledge.

    Was it £10 per heads up match you win, on top of the pledges you made as a competitor?

    Nice one, and all the best for the semi final.

    Players, please note:

    *** THE SEMI FINAL MATCHES ARE BEST OF SEVEN. ***

    Semi Final winners will guarantee £120 for their chosen charity, with the overall winner's charity getting £200

    GL Matt, Rose, Gary and AJ!

    Hello Mr AJ, looking forward to the semi final.  Let me know how you're fixed for our game.

    I can usually do most nights, so long as after 7pm.

    Cheers

    Yes Graham - I made the pledge of £10 per HU match won .... obviously didnt expect to run this good :) - but its all going to good causes.

    Whatever this additional pledge becomes, I think it should be split between the winner and runner up of the Heads Up challenge.

    Good luck everyone in the semi's

    Many thanks for this Gary.

    I will add it to the Heads Up prize pool, for the winner and runner up's charities, as you suggested.

    Best of luck!

    Cheers,

    Graham

    Hi Gary.

    EVERY GAME WON, WOW!

    I assumed it was for every MATCH won. Making it £30 for the heads up and £50 for the TLB pledge, plus £10 so far for tournament wins pledge. (Total £90)

    So is it £90 for the heads up and still £60 for the other two. So £150 in total at the moment?

    If that is correct then it is VERY generous of you indeed. TY so much!

    If I have understood this correctly, then it makes the total prize pool for the Heads Up charities £410 atm.

    I do have to warn you that the semi final is best of seven, and the final is best of nine (must win by two clear games in final only)

    So it could get pricey, but it's fine if you want to put a cap on it.

    Thanks again for your overwhelming generosity Gary!

    Cheers

    Graham

    P.S. Gary. As you are donating so much to the heads up prize pool, I will let you decide if you think the charities of the losing semi finalists should get anything, or just the winner and runner up. We could perhaps do, say £50 to each of the charities of the losing semi finalists. Up to you. What do you think?

    Hi Graham 

    Yes, my actual pledge was £10 for every game won - but look, this is for great causes and happy to donate. I know it may prove expensive but playing with some SKY friends in a fun environment is worth it and lets face it, if I took it down, it would be worth every penny :)

    I like the idea of spreading the prizes - lets see the final HU charity prize pool and see if we can get a donation to those losing semi finalists ....

    Many thanks Gary.

    I thought it might be an idea if we allocated £50 to each losing semi finalist before you guys play your matches.

    Worst case scenario, if you lost 4-0 (I'm sure that won't happen), then we'd still have £200 for the winner's charity and £110 for the runner up. If you do win more games, we can allocate your extra donations between first and second.

    What do you think? Up to you. I just thought it would be nice to know before the semi finals are played.

    All the best, and thanks again!

    Cheers,

    G

    Great! I'm sure the other semi finalists will be very happy that they have each already secured at least £50 for their respective charities.

    Thanks again for your generosity.
