Gret news Graham. This is my first year joining the charity comp, and i can say for myself its definately given my game more of a sense of purpose. I would definately encourage others to get involved, whether you make 30k on Sky, or £30.

Thanks for this Tim, you are a great addition to the team, and we are glad to have you on board!
Following on from MonkeyGLB getting on the scoreboard with a Mini win, Solack has won a £55 BH. rspca12 has won a M/E and I have manage to win a £55 BH and a Speed, taking the total pledged to £2,290.
I will update the opening post on 1st July, when we are half way through the year.
We are now half way through the year and there has been a change of guard at the top. Thanks to Matt Bates's Super Roller win last Sunday, he has now replaced Danny Grogan at the top of the leader board, albeit only just.
These two players are also 1st and 3rd in the Tournament Wins comp, with Jordan S-Jones separating the two.
I'm sure both these guys will be relishing the challenge ahead, will youth prevail over experience or visa versa?
Also doing very well are newcomers Matt Tranter (DustoLucko), and Tim Murphy (devil_tear) who along with Sky Poker stalwart, David Watkins (Wacko90), are pressing the leaders.
It also would be remiss of me not to mention my son Gary Carter (Limp2Lose), who despite mainly being a cash player now days, has managed to get himself onto the TLB despite playing less volume than most of his fellow competitors, so well done G.
Last years winner Gareth Smith has not put so much volume in either this year, but is still doing very creditably in mid division. He is out in Vegas atm, and along with, Matt Prawn, Chris Cunliffe and Matt Tranter will be representing Sky out there.
I'm sure you'll join me in wishing them all the best. Also the Bromley's are both out there at the moment and they have been great supporters of this, so all the best to you too guys.
Last year Gareth Smith came from well of the pace to prevail in the end, mainly due to winning two UKOPS High Rollers, will 2016 offer a similar twist, or will it be a slug fest between Matt and Danny?
Good luck all!
A few statistics.
Firstly £2,300 has been pledged. Many thanks. The top 3 players for profit in MTT's on Sharkscope are all involved in this initiative. We have 10 players in the top 30 who are in excess of $180K combined profit. In addition to the £50 each competitor pledges, a further £880 has been pledged through tournament wins. (This is significantly higher than this time last year) We have £570 in sponsorship pledges, this is significantly down on last year, so hopefully we can make some late ground here. Thanks again to both new and repeat sponsors, much appreciated.
If you would like to sponsor us, please post on this thread. There will be a heads up competition open to sponsors and competitors alike, with a fully engraved trophy and replica to keep. So any future sponsors would be more than welcome to participate.
I'll be repeating my pledge to "my stable" of Wacko and Mrs Bromley. £10 each. I may add something to the general pot at the end of the year if it can be funded through my profits on here. After last year that's a long shot but if I can then it's a win/win. Posted by Phantom66
My sponsorship from 28/01 appears to have been missed from your spreadsheet. Sorry only just noticed with this update.
In Response to Re: ***2016*** TLB Charity Competiton. Same deal as 2015, Get involved as a SPONSOR or COMPETITOR : My sponsorship from 28/01 appears to have been missed from your spreadsheet. Sorry only just noticed with this update. Posted by Phantom66
Thanks for this pledge and reminder Phantom.
Not quite sure how I missed it. I have updated the spreadsheets accordingly, and all should be correct when I next post them.
Congrats Graham on last nights win in summer series! Very well done! Posted by devil_tear
Thanks Tim, fortunately I put the previous post up, otherwise there may have been a stewards enquiry as to whether it counted towards the tournament wins comp. :=)
Congrats also to Matt Bates and Danny Grogan who won the main and mini respectively last Weds.
£2,380 has now been pledged.
Aussie, FYI the additional sponsorship amount from FOSP is now £590 not £570 as I had previously omitted Phantom's £20 sponsorship by mistake.

He has now knocked someone called StayOrGo off of 4th spot in the tournament wins comp.
Serious bit of father and son rivalry going on here. :=)
Well done son!
