A dramatic night

Four teams entered the final Virgin Challenge in contention.

The Dookers fell by the wayside....

Team Bluffer came mighty close, two in the top six including the winner

Team Silo had one finalist but consistent scores elsewhere

Dog Wardens came 3rd and 4th, enough to TIE..one place higher and they win!

 Final Team Standings  (http://www.markbriggs.co.uk/teamchallenge/)

So EITHER Maldini for Team Silo or Slim99Slim for The Dog Wardens will play in a GUKPT

 Top Players in August  (http://www.markbriggs.co.uk/teamchallenge/index.php?op=individualleague)

The question is who?

We have a proposal.....


a Freeroll 10 player SNG on a convenient night, the team that provides the winner sends the player to the GUKPT, we'll arrange it tomorrow


are the teams in agreement that we go this route?

Yeah I guess so,

Why not have a 10 man play off sit and go with points awarded the same as the month's competitions, the lowest team points wins and sends their winner to the event (using the existing winners of course)

I assume by "the player" you mean maldini or slim not the SNG winner

the proposal is .. i get the 10 players pre entered into a STT to be played at 8.30pm on sunday.

I figured this was how it'd go - seems the fairest way to me.

The other alternative would be to let the 2 contenders play heads up, but that's probably putting too much burden on them.  I like the SnG option better.

Works for me.

Sheriff

yes

I like this option better actually, but not sure I can stand another game of tense team tactics.

It does lessen the luck factor though.  I vote for this in hindsight.

the Added value prize Was a seat into GUKPT Plymouth, this starts next Thursday

With the draw causing a delay, there is no problem with the eventual winner choosing to play the later GUKPT London or Blackpool, your choice


Funds will be transferred into winners Virgin account as soon as we know who wins!

We are in your hands here. If both teams want to do this rather than relying on providing a winner from the SNG, let us know

I think this would be painful...

Personally I like Rich's proposal on the other thread - that we split any GUKPT winnings ten ways. We drew, so we split it. The probability is, with of course due respect to maldini and Slim, that no-one will win anything from this - but it would be nice to have the interest in it.

Then we'd just have to come up with a revised payout plan, which shouldn't be too hard.

Maldini and Slim could then just play heads-up to see who actually gets the seat.

Also, after tonight's tension, I'm not sure I could deal with it again...

 heads up for me.....its been all toooooo much. ;D

I think STT silo style to determine player.

Then 10 way split. ;carlocitrone;

OK I have to be up early.

Kev and I will review feedback tomorrow and announce the final plan then

As we've both said, we intend doing a 10 runner Freeroll SNG on blonde Sunday 8.30pm, with you all pre-registered.


two scoring options...winner gets the seat for maldini/slim, or lowest aggregate score of the 5 players. If we need to decide on that we will but hopefully there can be consensus before then

whatever split the two teams decide of the £100,000 is fine by us!

guys TBH we never for one second considered the scenario that we now find ourselves in, so i think the fairest option is to just tell you what we have decided.

we will run a 10 man stt on sunday at 8.30pm, the winning player of that STT will determine which team gets the seat.

we know the 2 players in contention for the seat, and as its a team game, this team play off is the answer IMO.

no special scoring etc ... just a plain old STT with winner takes all.

we need to make this decision almost immediately so i can sort out the STT as it does take some time to get loaded.

 ;popcorn;

 yep, OK winner takes all ..so if you cant make it , it wont matter too much.

Sounds good to me Kev

What about the rest of the Dogs?

OK, well I'm not going to argue too much about this - whatever everyone decides is OK by me.

But as it might affect others' opinions, I should tell you that I almost certainly won't be able to play on Sunday.

(Obviously if others can't play either then it could give one side a huge advantage).

where is plymouth?  ;carlocitrone;

I don't like it, for this reason: Team game is ok when there is a lot of other teams mixed in. 1 team vs another, too much folding to team mates and ganging up, it's inevitable. It could turn into a farce.

However, I will go with whatever the 2 winners decide, it IS their choice in my opinion.

So, Slim and Maldini choose. I will keep my mouth shut from now on. (Oh and SNG on sunday I will have to change my plans! but I will do).

About as far as you can go from where you live without falling off the country.

I agree, but I'll also shut up now.

OK  -- here we go Slim & Maldini -- its all to play for -- as the winners (by one point slim) i think that we should play this game Sunday with team points -- if dogs win Slim goes ( I will rail) and if Silo wins Maldinin goes (I might still rail).. lets do it

Im wit moskovitch and Rich it could turn out to be well unfair, slim wot do u reckon a game of pro evolution soccer? winner takes it?

right... after long msn convos with no deffo answer in sight, i will leave it to you guys to sort out what you want to do ... if there is no cast iron agreement by mid day tomorrow (FRiday) we will just have to go with the 10 man stt ... winner takes all.

Slim has sent his number to Maldini via PM, hopefully they will decide what they want to do.

let us know on here then please, as Kev says before midday

Hate to be a pain -- but would this STT result be individual or team -- ie if the aggregate score is dogs slim goes -- or if (god forbid)  I win ?????

we are suggesting winner takes all


a Dog wins, Slim goes

a Silo wins, maldini goes

scratch tht if i win Slim goes anyway

eactly what we are suggesting

mine's a double.

No pressure then

Right my head hurts -- it was a great comp really enjoyed it -- I have aged about 10 years -- will await chat between two winners -- bedtime --- bye bye ---- (or just maybe a little cash game)

me and slim jus had a chat and were thinking the best out of 3 heads up is the best option.

Not my speciality.

Spoke to maldini we have agreed on a best of 3 heads up, and then to split all the money 10 ways whoever goes!

If everyones happy?

Go for it

thats fine by me, you guys are the 2 that matter, if thats what you want to do, go ahead and doo it ... i need the result ASAP so we can get the money transferred to the winner.

do we organise the heads up between ourselves kev? or are u gonna sort it for sunday?

Phoned Ladbrokes got good odds on Slim -- money on -- game on -- lets do it

For the split of monies that we are going to win ;whistle;

Do you wanna go 50/50 or weight in favour of the victor?

LOL isn't life complicated

Good decision guys - it's you two that it affects most, so it's right that the play-off should just be between you two, without anyone else involved who could mess it up for you.

Good luck!

Tell us when the game is on and we will rail --(loudly of course)

I reckon the winner should get say 30% and the rest of it split 9 ways....or we can get our skippers to sort it out!

I'm happy with anything that's agreed between slim and maldini, as they're the guys that matter in the end!

This sounds like a plan .... what do u reckon captain?

Seriously -- its right and proper that the two headliners go for it..  sooo no pressure but the dogs reputation is at stake -- go  go go Slim

its getting complicated -- I need a drink -- BRB

30%, 12%, 9%, 6%, 3% for winning team    60% total
20%, 8%, 6%, 4%, 2% for 2nd team           40% total

This is a 60-40 split to whoever wins the head-up as they are playing the event they should get more. It is in the same ratio as the original rules, which I think we should stick to. Slim asked me to post this to see what everyone thinks.

(Of course you can internally alter your team percentages if you wish - but we need a clear cut split before anything is played).

And the decision is still Slims and Maldinis I reckon!

What's geting complicated :P? I'm 4th in our team :( So if slim plays and wins I get 6%, if Maldini plays and wins I get 4%. Of course if whoever plays doesn't cash, it's easy to work out, I get zip.

yeah rich that sounds spot on....im happy with that. slim?

Got to love this, from a few $5 comps two players end up playing heads up for a grand entry and a shot at a lot more (or zilch). This has got to be one of the most exciting forum comps ever.

It's awesome, we should make a film about it.

Very happy!

I think we have a deal ;applause;

Will pm u tomorrow to sort games out, unless kev is arranging them?

So very true

 :respect: to Blonde, Virgin, Tighty, Kev, sharky (great league spreadsheet) and most of all the DOG WARDENS!

PMed all team members, TightEnd and Kev, the details, hopefully all recieved safe and sound.

Good concilusion, happy with everything, good luck guys :)

you arrange it and play it guys, just tell us the result and we can take it from there re transferring monies from Virgin

First one I miss and look what happens!  The Duke must be hammered by now as well :cheers:

Cheek -- I was hammered well before the watershed

Nice debate, right decision.

Well played Team Silo good luck Mal.

Slim get the fecker won.

Any news where or when ?

we decided to play heads up on sunday night, more than likely on virgin about 8ish.

Ill post on here to confirm, just to let everyone know.

lol at 10 way chop b4 seat even decided.
