    Sorry bit slow.

    Only just worked that one out.

    However with the balls being plastic I am a bit worried about them melting.

    Might have to try the freezer or see if I can perfect my palming technique.

    Frustrating times - flat batteries / missing leads / corrupt SD cards/ builders working outside

    Plus the ball machine is a bit noisy - not sure about the sound levels - you might just have to watch it on mute.

    Anyway - ran out of time to record a full draw. I might be able to do it this evening (doubtful) or tomorrow afternoon.

    Won't risk twitch this time - will just record and put on youtube.

    I did write to my favourite poker personality to try and get some star appeal for the draw...

    "Dear Victoria,

    I think you are amazing. I have read your autobiography and I even watch only connect just to see you and hear your voice although I haven't got a clue what is going on.

    It would be a great honour if you could come to my house and draw my balls for me.

    Yours truly


    ThePhantom"

    oddly she didn't reply - I think she must be busy or maybe David was jealous and wouldn't let her do it?

    Anyway I did persist with other poker personalities and I am delighted to say I have a special guest lined up (fingers crossed).

    Your No 1 on the wait list Channing. Capped at 90 runners.

    I know you've got the maximum number you can do Phantom.
    To save you a headache, I'll drop out and Mr Channing can take my spot

     No. Don't do that on my account. Same rules for everyone. I'll take my chance.

     Could we get 128 players?

    Ok dilemma no.2

    Mr channing in or out?

    There was originally  a time registration deadline otherwise we would never get started.

    I extended that briefly to allow more entrants up to a limit of 90 which was there to allow me to use my newly acquired bingo machine to do the draw.

    Obviously having our ambo in would be a huge coup and great for the event.

    I dont want anyone to have to fall on their sword and give up a seat either.

    I have a compromise proposal.

    Neil if I give you no 91 there is no 91st ball (unless someone near me has an identical set and a black marker pen).

    So what I propose is this.

    Instead of drawing no.91 I will place no 91 in the last match of the preliminary round as the away player.

    That way....

    Hopefully the event wins by having neil in.

    Noone has to give up their seat.

    Neil has the minor penalty of being guaranteed a preliminary round and playing away to contend with.

    If noone objects to that before I get home (approx 1 hour) I will consider it agreed and film the draw.

    You are a master of tact and guile Phantom.
    Fantastic effort to solve a smallish problem.
    (As long as I do not end up as the Havant and Waterlooville vs. Manchester United in this scenario)

    Agreed Mr Channing in (only if he agrees to shave his hair off if he busts his 1st match). :-)
