TSP Classic
The Guarantee on the TSP Classic, which has been £2,000 since it was introduced, will be dropped to £1,500 tomorrow (Tuesday 23rd) & Wednesday 24th, as it clashes with big Champions League nights, featuring, respectively, Chelsea & Arsenal, and Man Utd & Spurs.
It will return to £2,000 Guaranteed on Thursday & Friday.
Comments
For those with an interest in the numbers, (& I'm indebted to a good friend for producing these numbers unofficially), the TSP Classic has had a £2,000 Guarantee since it begun.
The runners over the last 2 weeks have been as follows.....
W/C 8th November W/C 15th November
Monday 181 179
Tuesday 210 184
Wednesday 156 155
Thursday 224 200
Friday 206 190
TOTAL = 977 908
AVE = 195 181
It is not definite that it will remain at £2,000 from W/C 29th November (next week), but hopefully it will, as there are a few situations & circumstances going off this & next week which amount, in effect, to a following wind.
Thanks.
Totally understandable.
Any news on getting this tournie running on the weekend? Even tho like Fins I haven't yet won an 80/20 in this tournie, I'd still like to keep on playing it!
Also any news on getting a smaller BI tournie to be running around the same time as the Primo?
Cheers!
I'll share some numbers with you actually. These are NOT official numbers, they were privately compiled, so I guess it's OK to share them, but please note, I am NOT wearing a Company hat here.
I found these utterly intriguing, to be honest.
Over the last ten renewals of the TSP classic, around 1,900 entries were made. (10 nights at an average of, say, 190).
Of those 1,900 entries, there were 1,153 "uniques" - that is to say, 1,153 different players were within that 1,900. Of those, look at this oddity......
807 played once
182 played twice
74 played three times
And at the other end of the scale, & perhaps far less surprisingly......
5 played nine times
3 played ten times
I was astonished at that "played it once" number, which runs totally counter to what I had assumed.
I suppose you'd need to be a maths & psychology geek to be fascinated & bewildered by that. Guilty as charged.
DISCLAIMER - These are my own observations, not official stats.
As to the "gooner55" Thread, yes, I remember it now - "gooner55" got to select the winner, & he selected you.
I'll sort you an Entry for this Thursday, & I hope you win the lot, so as to bless the little 'un.
Good luck.

Hi Ryan,
I'm not going to commit to answering this on the Forum, as I get beaten with a great big stick when I "let out" these little things & they don't happen when expected, so you'll have to be patient, please.
For now, I sent the suggestions upstairs, & I was entirely satisfied with the response.
It's a sort of jigsaw puzzle with interlocking timelines, but I fancy that we will have the corners in place later this week. Always good to get the corners fited in a jigsaw puzzle, eh?*
* I bet half this Community have never done a jigsaw puzzle. As a kid, Jigsaw Puzzles were our "Big" Xmas Pressie. Now the kids get PacMan, Walkmans, & LP's. Kids, pfft.
There are "Singles", & "EP"'s, (EP = "Extended Play") both of which are best played at 45rpm, & "LP"'s, (LP = Long Player) which is played at 33rpm. Prior to that, some records were played at 78rpm, in fact.
With the right equipment, you can stack 3 or 4 records - some call them "discs", as in "Disc Jockey", aka "DJ" - onto your record player at the same time, & they will automatically play, one after the other.
There are six satellites to this every weekday. They cost £2.40, & are 1 in 5 affairs.
They are scheduled to run at......
17.20
17.50
18.20
18.50
19.20
19.50
I'm not sure if they actually run, though. Personally (& luckily, I don't get to decide) I'd remove 5 of the 6 to ensure the last remaining one ran, as that would consolidate the entries, but everyone would argue about the optimal time, so I guess it would never work.
Waller .. this was asked before when the TSP was launched and apparently it "has to be" a 10:00pm start but I'm not sure if it was explained why.
I noticed some numbers earlier in thread, which indicated that some have played as much as 8 or 9 times since it started. I must be sad as I have played 11 in the last 3 weeks, mind you I have had 1 win, 2 other cashes, and 3 others in top 40. My guess is that I will play another 11 in the next 3 as well - I love it, great comeraderie.
Any chance of the league starting, Tikay, as mentioned on a different thread?
your not going to tell me that sky cant not stand the loss. of an extra £500
after all this tourney prize was set well befor the football game was set up.
i think your wrong sky only to set a prize on a tourney when alot of players will be there to play it.
thats like only drawing the lotto only when there is 5 million tickets being sold what about all the rake you have already taken this month. and all the rebuys and all the othere sit fee's
i best say, PLEASSSSSSSE
