    I don't play enough to warrant being in this but I'm quite happy to donate £10 to each of the winner's charities. Please remind me when I need to do so!

    Very kind of you. Thanks.

    Points system looks fine to me. Don't want to make the 1st place points awarded too much imo, as although bigger fields means its more difficult to win one, if someone does win one it could be done and dusted

    Good point. One final tweak then. Then its staying as it is Haha

    I was going to suggest we wait for final numbers, then setup a seperate private chat to agree t&cs etc, then post up a new thread for the rail. seemed to work well for the big boys.

    Maybe even get whoever set it up to let us know how they did it? @miniman88

    I'm honestly happy to do whatever everybody who is in suggests. Although their side bet was between a smaller group who were already poker buds. This is forumwide and not everybody may have the option or the want of a private chat.

    Also, @NOSTRI how many entrants before it becomes an absolute nightmare for you? I'm happy to stop entries when you are at your limit.

    Infinity. Don't worry about me, the spreadsheet's doing 90% of the heavy lifting.

    I'd like to join please

    It looks like we have had all the interest we are going to get, although we have an odd number atm so we need one more so far. Any takers?
  • waller02waller02 Member Posts: 9,012
    Had another entry via pm for @day4eire76

    That's 16 players now so 8 teams.

    Interest has dropped over the weekend and while we have even numbers we can close entries now and sort out doing the draw. Or leave it open for 2 more days but risk having an odd number.

    What does everybody think?

    Suggest leave it open for 2 days
    .
    Then, if have an odd number, have post that says only the next 1 (or 3) people will be allowed. It will fill.

    Yeah, sounds best. The more that play, the more money we raise.

    Are you joining us @Essexphil

    I think it would have got more interest if it was something like half the prizepool going to winners and half to charity. Personally I'd rather give it all to charity but some people also like money.

    Doesn't matter though, and the decision has been made now. I say give it a few days and close the doors. I'm sure we can get one of the regs to jump in if it ends up at an odd number.
