The Rules I made up - literally - did not quite cover the eventuality of TWO Players guessing different totals both being closest, my bad.
majj DID Post first, but that's not really what the Rule said. There was, as I see it, no Rule to cover this eventuality.
So they will BOTH get an equal Prize.
I cannot give away Sky Poker's money myself, so unless Sky Poker want to give TWO free entries next week - which is a bit of a cheek for me to ask, so I won't - this is what I'll do.
At the next SPT Live Event that Phil attends, I'll put up the £25 Entry Fee for him into a Heads-Up match against Rich Orford. (Lol!). So when he's beaten Orford, I get my £25 quid back, & Phil gets the £25 winnings. How neat is that? - Phil still gets £25, & it costs me nothing.
Both of you - majj & Phil - OK with that?
If not, just tell me, & we'll sort it out.
To all thoe who entered, thanks, but especially to those who had not Posted on the Community before - now stay around!

LOL That sounds good Tikay! Only problem is the SPT events on my radar are definitely Swansea and possibly Luton. Will it be OK to carry it over to there? Be afraid Mr Orford..............
Of course, Phil, & thank you for being understanding. majj is a bit of a Forum newbie here, so I thought you'd be happy to go along with it. And lets face it, playing Orford Heads-Up! Like printing money, that. I will be on the Rail to abuse him, too. Well done mate, & thanks again. Posted by Tikay10
Classic ruling tikay but are you going to have a special roped off Orford heads up area at all sky poker events once news of this reaches the general public to meet with demand!It could quickly take off as a popular side event.

Like your thinking.
It's like easing the Nation's debt burden.
"Want money? Fine, we at Pacific Finance can arrange a Heads-Up Match against Rich Orford."
Oh, and it goes without saying that if by some more obscene luck my name comes out for the other free entry (the emailing/posting in one) then Phil should by rights get it

I have now sent an e-Mail to SkySuit-Ville asking them to Enter "majj" into next Thursday's Tournament. And that concludes this Thread. Now, for the next one! Posted by Tikay10
Well, you might think so. However, I'd like to congratulate myself on being close with my guess. I managed to post this before any SkyPoker moderator closed this thread so I think that you'll find that this concludes this thread...

Good luck in the heads up Phil (as if you need it...)

The Community at it's best.
It's been a good Comp, in every way.

Please await sentencing.
