Latest standings below: £4,376 raised so far! Thanks for all the support!
Well it's December and that means we are into the last month of the TLB Charity challenge! It's all to play for in both the "TLB" and the "Tournament Wins" comps.

Well it's December and that means we are into the last month of the TLB Charity challenge! It's all to play for in both the "TLB" and the "Tournament Wins" comps.
Gareth has a decent lead in the TLB, but there's still Xmas UKOPS, could someone from the chasing pack still spring a surprise?
In the Tournament Wins comp, just one point separates Chris Cunliffe and Matt Bates and this looks to be between the two. 3rd and 4th place however is still up for grabs and could be worth some decent money for the charities involved.
We are now starting to collect sponsorship payments. Details can be found here:
If possible it would be much appreciated if payments could be made by the end of the year.
We finished with a total of 18 competitors, each donating £50 to the charity prize pool. 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 2015) will receive a cup. The name of this cup will be "The Tim Carter TLB 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
£55BH Win: 2pts (including £55 Speed BH)
For UKOPS the same point system applies. For clarification, any £55 UKOPS BH side events, will also be worth 2 points, although £55 side events, that are not Bounty Hunters carry no points.
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. If everything is tied then the prize money is split equally.
For each event won, the competitor donates £10, that goes to 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 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, the choice is yours.
Registration for competitors is now closed, however we hope that sponsorship will continue throughout the year. Thanks everyone for all the support received.
Good luck at the tables!

Thanks Joesman!
This way, all charities will benefit, but the winner's one more so. What do you think? Also, can I suggest, that whoever wins out of us, also donates the £50 to our own charity (I'm sure we would have anyway)
Also, would/could Sky match any donations? (I will be paying plenty of extra rake to put in the volume to try and win, plus others probably will too :=))
I've got to practice multi-tabling, currently, two is my max on Sky! :=) Going to try and get it to 4!
All the best, and Happy New Year!
Cheers Graham!
Or perhaps a better way would be to post the links of the charities to the Forum and people can each make the donation themselves via a web link.
We have a year to figure it out anyway. Thanks again! Happy New Year!
Graham
My chosen charity is Centerpoint.
Best of luck all.
I reckon you lot could be worth doing £50 every month though...! hehe
:P
GL!
Cheers Graham
So glad things worked out for you and it's great that you give a bit back to those that helped you!
I wish you all the best for 2015 mate. I know you may not be able to put in the volume, but I'm sure you'll get a great ROI% for the tourney's you do enter, so still a good chance that you could take it down I reckon!
Obviously it would be great if Sky could support this, but I understand logistics can be difficult.
Happy New Year!

When someone sponsors a player, they can have four choices of where their donation goes.
1) The winner's charity.
2) The charity of the person they are sponsoring.
3) Split 50/50 between winners and person they are sponsoring's charity.
4) Split between all the charities of the players involved.
People who sponsor, still specify who they think will win, in the hope that a free roll tournament can be created for those who successfully pick the winning player.
Many thanks for all your support, and thanks Dad for this suggestion!
Graham
If anyone knows how to contact any of this years leading contenders, please give them a nudge, it would be great to get them involved.
Cheers, Graham
