Monday's Forum Triple Takedown Competition (APRIL 2023 ONWARDS)

edited April 2023 in Competition Corner

What's this then?

This is a long-standing competition which takes place every Monday, awarding prizes to the top finishers both on the night and across the month as a whole.

How do I enter?

There is no registration required, everyone who plays all 3 of the listed tournaments on the night is eligible for the weekly prizes. Do this 3 times within a calendar month, and you're also eligible for the monthly prizes.

The games are cheap, rake-free, and have a deep structure:

19.15 Forum Triple Takedown 1 is 5000 chip starting stack,12 min clock, buy-in £2-00
19.45 Forum Triple Takedown 2 is a 4000 chip starting stack,12 min clock, buy-in £2-00
20.15 Forum Triple Takedown 3 is a 3000 chip starting stack, 12 min clock, Bounty Hunter buy-in £2-00

How does the scoring work?

Your 2 best finishing positions are added together to determine your score on the night: if you placed 3rd in FTT1, 15th in FTT2, and 9th in FTT3, your score would be 3+9=12. The lower your score the better.

In the event of a tie, the player with the best finishing position in their set will place higher. If still equal, the third tournament score is used. In the unlikely event of all 3 scores matching, then we'll go to the number of entrants in the tournaments that accompany the scores, larger being better.

After the final Monday in the calendar month, a player's 3 best weekly scores are averaged to create the monthly score. Monthly ties will be separated similar to the above.

What can I win?

Weekly prizes:
1st - main event entry (£33 or £22)
2nd - mini major entry (£11)
3rd - a week's entry into all of the FTT games (£6)

Monthly prizes:
1st - any combination of MTTs (£5.50+) up to total value of £22
2nd - any combination of MTTs (£5.50+) up to total value of £11
3rd - a £5.50 MTT entry or a week's entry into all of the FTT games

How do I claim my prize?

In a change to how we've done things in the past, @Tikay10 will be helping by administering any prizes won. Results will be confirmed in this thread the day after the competition, and players must arrange with Tikay the games they will be entered for. Given this is a manual process, please give a day's notice where you can.

What else do I need to know?

I think that's it, but if anyone has any questions feel free to shout.

Thanks, good luck, and have fun.

    For avoidance of doubt, the RULES have not changed at all for the FTT Comp. This is just a new thread for Results/Prizes/Queries going forward.

    It is an exact copy of @bbMike 's OP in the last thread. But don't tell him, he will get his plagiarism lawyers onto me ;)

    That is what happens when you copy someone's sloppy work ;)
    Noted and now amended, thank you.

    Very nice @MAXALLY . Seems I do indeed have all the luck ;)

    I do love jelly as well. Don't have it anywhere near as I would like. Does that mean I get unlimited supplies? :D

    And please let me express my appreciation of your takeover, and also for @bbMike great contribution previously.

    I guess being able to play the FTT most weeks now is one positive about the Monday pub poker league I played in for almost 10 years being abandoned this year.

    Errrr....its JAM. As in 'more Jam than Hartleys' . Not sure if you are trying to level me....or maybe you are just a whipper snapper who may not of heard of that well known phrase.

    Either way, Congrats on the win.......and please dont take anything too seriously I may put into the weekly reports. Just having some fun ;)

    PS @MAXALLY @thedazzman


    In many places - the USA for example, or even in posh houses in the UK, Jam & Jelly are the same thing.

    Unlikely to be the case in Stoke though where beef dripping is still considered a treat.



    Jelly (fruit preserves), a clear or translucent fruit spread or preserve

    Oh dear! I'm neither from the US or from a posh area, so I feel a bit silly now. At first glance at the image, I thought it was one of those little jelly pots you often see in packed lunches and stuff. I just didn't connect the relevance last night.

    It was the end of a long day. That's my excuse, and I'm (literally with all this jam) sticking to it! :D

    And, no, not trying to level you. I just haven't heard of that phrase before. Where I'm from, instead, we're accustomed to shouting things like 'Jammy C###' or 'Spawny B######'

    Don't worry, I take nothing seriously. So needle as much as you like. It's all part of the fun.

    PS @Tikay10 May I please provisionally book this ticket for Thursday's Main? I will almost certainly be playing at that time. Thank you

    Haha, yes. That is correct. Can't ever recall hearing it.

    Heyho. Every day is a school day, as they (maybe not everyone) say.
