Mini UKOPS Charity Side Bet.

waller02

For a bit of fun and to raise a few quid for good causes it will be good to have a Profit and Points based side bet on the go.

Each player will stump up £20 to donate at the end of the competition.

You will be drawn into a team of 2 and the winners will be the team who accumulate the highest points total and the team who make the most profit throughout the whole of Mini UKOPS.

Everybody then donates £10 to both of the winning teams chosen charities (or £20 if one team wins both), ideally sending a screenshot to confirm your donation.

The points system is as follows:

1st 12
2nd 10
3rd 8
4th 7
5th 6
6th 5
7th-10th 3
11th-20th 2
All other cashes 1

Many thanks to @NOSTRI who has kindly offered to help with the admin side of things. We will update our results daily using the following link so he can add them to his spreadsheet. Please note that all rebuys/addons taken must be added to your buyin so please be honest.

Register your interest on this thread by Wed 29th in order to give a couple of days to get things set up, then a draw will be made to pair everybody up in a team, you can decide on a team name between yourselves.

Good luck all.

Thought's on the ruling regarding missing an event. Are people happy with having the buyin deducted from their running total, or is it better to have it not being logged at all?

I think it would be fairer to lose that. For exampe I won't be playing any PLO events and would be upset to be penalised for it. But if that's the usual rule in the main UKOPS then I won't complain.

PKRPar

Aye just a zero cash and points if not played.

If we can get 8/10, would be good to maybe add in a team aspect for railing etc?
And whatsapp/skype group

Matt just clarified that if they didn't play an event then it didn't affect their buyins, it's just not logged. Seems fairer and I will edit OP now.

I don't like the idea of losing the buy in if people don't play an event. None of the previous challenges have been done like that. If you don't play its a £0 result. The penalty is you cant get any points for that part of the challenge.

Depending on how much interest we get, I'm happy to go with the majority. I would prefer an individual league but if everybody else wants pairs as a team then we can go with that. Not sure how the pairs would be allocated and named or anything though?

MattBates

Teams to be drawn out of a hat and can be done live on twitch via the main man @Duesenberg

bbMike

Oooh a leaderboard points thingy with games I can afford (to lose in!).

I'm in.

On the results collation, you could set up a spreadsheet with individual tabs for each person, restricted to the entry cells only, then a locked summary tab that pulls the results through.

Would mean minimal admin, just sorting the summary table - but however you want to do it

it would be in addition i think. we can iron all this stuff out when we have numbers. maybe shorten the closing date for entries?

Nice one mate.

Nostri has it all taken care of, his sheer we will fill in each day looks ideal.

What date do you suggest closing entries? You could even do the draw in your twitch if @Duesenberg is busy cough cough.

What about Wednesday next week to give a couple of days to get organised?

Phantom66

I have a bingo machine that I haven't put to good use for a while

Allan23

I think the duo teams worked well for the main ukops. Kept it interesting to the end and made for added ribbing opportunity when one guy is hundreds in the hole and the other isn't

MAXALLY

Ok....In (without a diary)

Busy at work ATM, but agree to everything #runlikewaller says

Don't you worry your pretty little heads about this. Will be bringing my A+ Pivot Tables game to this. It's looking even easier than I thought; should be able to fully automate it based on form responses.

Working in teams is going to be trickier if we go that route. Will manage though.

Will get everything done and sorted by the time entries for this are closed.

What's the plan for collecting and holding and then disbursing money, by the way? @waller02

That already was the closing date haha.

waller02

Ok yeah will do pairs and let @Phantom66 dust off his bingo machine for the draw when we have final numbers. You can then pick your own team names after the draw.
