Steve Ball (AKA, Ice_tiger) was a great supporter of the trial run of this competition. So much so, that he requested that we played it again sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately, as I am sure you all know, Steve is no longer with us.
I'm sure many of you feel as I do, that Steve would still want us to play this. So we will do so, with a heavy heart in his memory.
I only knew Steve as Ice_Tiger.
I had the honour of being drawn against him twice in the trial run. It's clear from that experience, and comments made from all those who knew him, that he was a loyal, kind and caring person who played poker with great sportsmanship and a generosity of spirit. He will be sadly missed.
It was also his suggestion, to run the whole competition on one day, which we will. That day will be: 2nd January 2017.
I do hope however, that on 2nd January he will be looking down from wherever he is, and enjoy watching us play in his memory. No doubt cheering for the North to get revenge.
The monies raised from this competition will go to two charities close to Steve and his family's heart. Namely:
The Hilbrae Rescue CentreSevern Hospice
MacMillan Cancer Support (Max's Web Page) will also receive donations from the TLB comp.
RIP Steve, I hope we can do you proud on 2nd Jan 2017. You will be in our thoughts (Northerner and Southerner alike) throughout.
Please can players that played in the trial run, recruit and explain the rules to new members, many thanks.
Nearer the time I will re-confirm player availability, so if you can put yourself down to play provisionally and I will confirm the final teams on 27th Dec 2016.
On 28th Dec, the captains will select their teams for the initial foursomes only. I will post the times of the various matches. (The total number of matches will depend on the number of players involved)
The Captains will then select the remaining parings and their respective orders on 2nd Jan after each of the preceeding rounds completes.
Lets serve Ice_Tiger well and do this with a generosity of spirit that he so clearly exemplified.
RIP STEVE, we will be thinking of you.

Thanks

Also CHILLING needs to step up. :P
Max if your available you can still play. Will leave a seat open for you x
Never get picked ... ever ....... only picked upon. lol Don
Fantastic work Graham.
The Hitsquad are currently canvassing for some southern players for you.
I'd love to play but i'm out all day on the 2nd Jan, sorry.
(This assumes eight a side)
This will give you an idea of the intended structure of the tournament.
Please note that at 11AM on 2nd Jan 2017, proceedings will start off with a (one game only) Turbo Sit & Go between the two captains. (DarkAngel7 and myself)
The first blind level will be three minutes and we will sit out until the second hand of level two in memory and respect for Ice_Tiger. Please do join us for a 3 minute "silent" rail, and post your respects in chat as level two starts.
If you would like to play/are available to also play PLO and/or PLO8, please message your captains so that they can ensure that players that are scheduled for the PLO/8 games can indeed play it.
Please note, other than the captains match, NLHE games will be Heads Up £1.05 Speed SNG's and the PLO and PLO8 games will be the standard format (only format available)
Just before Xmas, I will ask players that have registered for this, to re-confirm their availability. Please do this no later than 28th December, as the captains will pick the first fourballs pairings on 29th December 2016.
The fourballs pairings and singles match ups will be declared when the previous format concludes, or is close to concluding.
Hope this all makes sense. I'm sure I will not be alone in remembering Steve Ball on this day. RIP Ice_Tiger.

Hi StayOrGo
I would like to play in this if it's not to late. I live in Shropshire so would probably be south (Although I don't mind who I
play for). I am familier with both charities & both worthy causes. BTW I have no idea how it works so if someone
could briefly put me in the picture it would be helpful.
Could you let me know either way ?
Thanks
David
I think Sir_Gary is from Leicester. Where are you from ItsOver4u? We will take the most Southerly player.
Also, I was persuaded to add PLO and PLO8 games into the schedule, but no-one has come forward as yet to volunteer to play these formats.
So I have removed a couple of the PLO/PLO8 ones, as I do fear we may not have enough specialist players in both teams.
We previously needed at least three on each team that could play the PLO/PLO8 formats, now we need at least two on each team. So please post here if you are on the list and happy to play PLO/PLO8.
I did say that people who wanted to play were to come forward by the end of November, so we could plan things. However we do have some flexibility should anyone else want to join us. (Especially if you are from the South)
Cheers,
G
Just need to double check with you that you will be free on 2nd Jan between 11AM and 6PM, and that you are OK with the £20 donation to charity. I will give details regarding how to pay the charity money on the 2nd Jan, so nothing needs to be done until January.
If you are OK with the above, then you are all set! Nearer the time, I will ask players to re-confirm their availability, so if you could keep an eye on this thread over the Xmas period that would be great.
The link below should give you an idea, but I will explain more nearer the time. Most of the players were involved in the trial run, so there will be plenty of help at hand.

Thanks for supporting us with this.
All the best,
