I'll give it one more week to try and get the three players for the Heads Up competition, if not I'll make the draw anyway at 00:01 on Friday 12th Aug. (sooner if we get the three players before then)
At the moment that would mean three people would get a bye.
As we will be starting slightly earlier than the originally stated 1st Sept, I will set a deadline of Friday 9th Sept for first round matches to be played. The following rounds will each have a two week deadline.
Clearly the earlier that matches are played the better, so feel free to arrange fixtures as soon as the draw is made.
In the mean time any assistence to get three more players would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps people can use the chat box during games to encourage people to enter.
Cheers,
Graham.
P.S If you could cut and paste the following msg in the chat box on your tables (in two parts), that would really help. Many thanks.
Hi all, StayOrGo has started a charity heads up comp if anyone is interested. We need 2 more players. Neil Channing, TK, Ian Simpson, Rich Orford all playing.
Find it on the forum in poker chat, title starts 2016 TLB Charity comp, details on opening post.
Hi all, the opening post has been updated the reflect recent pledges etc. However if you have pledged recently can you please check the spreadsheet below to ensure it is recorded correctly.
Many thanks to all for getting us to a total so far of £3,150!
Graham.
P.S. Message for Aussie, thanks for keeping the Donations Total up to date on the website.
The money that has been pledged from Sponsors, unless stated otherwise (ie for a specific charity), goes into the prize pool for the main TLB charity competition.
However it was suggested to me that perhaps the 1st and 2nd place finishers in the Heads Up competition, should win something for their own chosen charity.
This seems reasonable to me, and as such, if there is no objection, I would like to use £320 from the "Tournament Wins" prize pool to go to the chosen charities of the winner and 2nd in the heads up comp.
Namely: £200 to the winners chosen charity and £120 to the runner up's chosen charity.
Don't worry if you don't have a chosen charity as yet, if you finish 1st or 2nd in the Heads Up competition, you can make your decision then. It just provides a bit of an extra incentive to the people involved.
The reason I have chosen to take it from the "Tournament Wins" pool is that this is most likely to be the largest "pot" of money at the end of 2016.
If anyone has any objections to this, please let me know.
I'm sorry to report another near miss for me last night. Silver medal in the main.

P.S. Message for Aussie, thanks for keeping the Donations Total up to date on the website.
The figures now are:
"Competitor" Donations: £1,940
FOSP "Sponsor" Donations: £1,210
Now the heads up competition has started the FOSP donations will probably be static again for a while. Many thanks.
ps. adam won something the other night. he's good, you know.
The spreadsheets on the opening post have been updated to reflect the latest TLB2016 league standings.
All to play for as we approach 2/3rd's of the way through the year.
GL all!
