    I am in. Couple of questions, but in whatever is decided. Are we using sharkscope or Aussiescope? Aussie is less likely to miss big games, I know scope missed some UKOPS events (my win!) but doesn't include smaller games (under £500 guarantee I think it is). However Aussie doesn't include sat wins so for eg I would lose my WSOP package win. So is swings and roundabouts and I think both had the same finishing positions for everyone. Also, any thoughts on amending the points per comp? Should 9pm maybe get more than speed? Just for discussion peeps

    Following on from Matt's post here.

    I don't want to majorly change the points scoring system, so that we have consistency through the years. The points will be engraved each year, on the trophy, for comparison.

    However we could just reduce the Speed BH to 1pt. It will mean that Chris's figure of 84pts this year, will be a little harder to catch, but it doesn't change it too much, so we could do that.

    Any thoughts? My vote is to leave it at 2pts, but if the concensus from other competitors, is reduce it to 1pt, I am happy to go with that. Please let me know your preference.

    Cheers,

    Graham

    Hi Tim. Great to have you on board as a Competitor!

    Is this the correct website for your charity?


    Are you OK with how it all works? Effectively you pledge £50 to the charity prize pool for the TLB winner's charities, and £10 per main, mini or £55BH that you win in 2016, that goes to the "Tournament Wins" prize pool.

    If you finish in the top4 of either you win money for REG. The prizepools are split 40/30/20/10 between the top four for both competitions.

    What an appropriate charity too! If it's OK, could you PM me your email address and surname please Tim.

    Best of luck for 2016, thrilled to have you join us.

    Cheers,

    Graham

    I am delighted to announce that Ryan Spittles (Scotty77) will be joining us again this year as a COMPETITOR!

    Despite not being able to play as many Sky tournaments, and compete as he would like as he would perhaps like (due to live commitments), he is still prepared to support TLB2016 as a COMPETITOR!

    I really hope you have a successful 2016 Ryan, you deserve it!  Thanks again for your continued support.

    Cheers,

    Graham

    In Response to ***2016*** TLB Charity Competiton Feel Free to join and/or support! : im in happy new year all i would like to change my charity to the trussell trust please. there do a top job and still cant believe in 2016 that we have food banks in this county but i will do my best to raise as much money as possible. http://www.trusselltrust.org/donate
    Posted by rspca12
    This is an unbelievably good cause. I spent some time with the Trussell Trust over Christmas; I took time off work and volunteered at the Food Bank. 

    It was humbling, to say the least!

    Well done Chris.

    Ps

    Forgot to say that I think Adam and I will both be joining you again this year.

    I need to make sure I maintain consistency and keep the bottom of that leader board propped up. Someone has to take one for the team. So I will scale back on taking down too many tournaments and make sure that last place is safe.

    I also want to see a girl in there!

    Very happy to anounce that mattprawn is joining us as a COMPETITOR for the "Tournament Wins" aspect of the competiton.

    Which leads me to add, COMPETITORS are more than welcome to  enter just the TLB aspect, or indeed, just the "Tournament Wins" aspect of the competiton.

    It will be assumed that COMPETITORS are in both aspects, unless they request otherwise prior to 31/01/2016.

    Great to have you onboard Matt, and I wish you all the best for 2016!

    Cheers,

    Graham

    Please find 2016 COMPETITOR list on opening post:

    Could COMPETITORS please check that your details and chosen charities are correct.

    Aussie, would it be possible to calculate the "Tournament Wins" points so far, for the 2016 COMPETITORS?

    Really appreciate your help once aagain.

    Many thanks,

    Graham

    P.S FYI, I have changed my charity to MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT and my son, Gary (Limp2Lose) will be representing THE SAMARITANS.
