** CHARITY TLB2017 *** SAME GIG AS LAST YEAR. PLEASE RENEW / SIGN UP ON OTHER THREAD LINK AT END OF
Hi guys.
Just a quick thread to start off TLB2017.
It's a bit hectic atm, with my schedule, Ryder Cup, getting organised to collect last years payments and collating/verifying last years result.
However, I just wanted to start things off for TLB 2017.
It would be great if those involved last year could renew, and we are also hoping for some new blood to join us too.
So if you want in for 2017, please sign up here, along with your chosen charity.
Full details we be provided in due course, but I think most people know what it's about.
Looking at January's schedule the points for the "Tournament Wins" comp will be as before, with the exception that there will also be two points for the £109 BH.
Hope this is agreeable to everyone.
So please post here if you want to be involved.
Thanks again to all who supported last year and to those prepared to support this year.
Happy New Year!
Graham

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLB2017 rules below, I will amend for UKOPS rule changes shortly, but just to give an idea to potential newbies, please see below:
The rules for "Competitors" can be found below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each competitor donates £50 to the TLB charity prize pool (total profit for MTT's on Sharkscope). The pay outs for the Primary Tournament Leader Board competition will be split between the top 4 charities:
First: 40%
Second: 30%
Third: 20%
Fourth: 10%.
In addition to the £50 per competitor, money sponsored that is pledged for the prize pool will go into this prize pool only (ie. not the "Tournament Wins" prize pool.) Also any other monies raised (UKPC initiative for example), will also be allocated to this prize pool unless specified otherwise.
The winner of the Tournament Leader Board challenge (most profit made from scheduled tournaments in 2016, according to Sharkscope) will receive a "gold" cup. The name of this cup will be "The Tim Carter TLB Poker Cup"
Moving on to the Secondary competition.
This is a "Tournament Wins" competition, and points are awarded to players who win a major tournament. The points allocation is as follows:
Main Event Win: 10pts
Mini Event Win: 7pts
£110 BH Win: 2pts (Jan only)
9PM £22BH Win: 2pts (Jan only)
9PM £55 Sherriff: 2pts (Currently not running in January)
£55 QuickDraw Win: 1pt
UKOPS: To follow
UKOPS TBD
In the event of a tie on points, the person who won the most Main Events will win, if this is tied then it goes to the person who has won the most Mini's then the person who won the most 9pm £55 BH's.
If everything is tied then the prize money is split equally.
For each main event won, the competitor donates £20, and for the other's, £10.
50% goes to the player's charity and 50% goes into a prize pool specifically for this competition.
This prize pool will be split between the charities of the top 4 point scorers, as follows: (same split as TLB)
First: 40%
Second: 30%
Third: 20%
Fourth: 10%.
The winner of this "side" competition will receive a shield. The name of this shield will be "The Poker Tournament Wins Charity Shield". Also if you don't play enough to be involved in the leader board, why not sponsor one of us for an amount of your choice. There are a number of ways you can sponsor us. It can go to a specific charity or be added to the prize pool fund for the winning charities, the choice is yours.
In November 2017, there will be a "Heads Up" tournament that Sponsors as well as Competitors can enter. Players will play for a "silver" cup. The name of this Cup will be "The Tim Carter "Sponsors and Competitors" Heads Up Poker Cup.
Thanks again to all those who supported this is 2016 and best of luck at the tables in 2017!

A couple of suggested tweaks to be considered (if agreeable cd be introduced from Feb?)
1. The points for a main win are significantly more (quite right) but the £10 donation the same. I suggest increasing th amount for a main event win only to £20
2. Cd the amount raised in the winning tournements donations be split between the prize pool and the donors own charity? (So, if I win for example 20 tournaments totalling £200 then £100 to the pool and £100 to my nominated charity). I say this because I am making significant donations (that I am happy to do) but because there are too many players better than me none it goes to my charity.

i was waiting to see your list of competitors as it will be a manual job whilst being completed.
