had no idea kev , hope all goes well in the future mate
gl and best wishes from me and all at duffs

wahhey - is the cheque in the post ?

we played one at the betfair do and it worked well
8 teams of 8 players playing on 8 tables  as an stt - all tables started at the same time and used same clock , each team had a capt and joker , players got points for where they finished on the table plus bonus points for ko a team captain and also the joker - the jokers points also counted double for his own team
we played £25 a man every table winner got £100 and the winning team received £800 total
the emphasis on the event was general fun and a bit of rivalry/ bragging rights- there was no dumping as each table had 1 player from each team on it  - every table also had a team capt and a team joker on it
as i said it worked fine

err thanks kev , i do like a drink but wasnt in newcastle at the weekend and havent had the pleasure of meeting you yet mate
must have me confused with some other good looking hunk

ty - got something similar in one of the poker mags as a freebie , so generall accepted as the rule book ? and fine to use as such and re print including interpretations and guidlines that are local to us ?

cheers dewi - its a start yes , but looking for a book also - mentioned in the thread is a 47 page td`s bible - anyone now the name of this and where i can get it ?

during the live games i organise and play in we occassionally have a a situation where i need to make a ruling, i dont proffes to getting them right 100% of the times but i gaurantee that i will be as fair and impartial as i can
most are ettiquette but occassionally a ruling crops up - i am pretty experienced and most times my ruling is accepted ,however i am thinking of writing a set of guidlines , however there doesent seem  to be a rule book to refer to
what do the TD`s use ? and what is the best "book" to purchase
and regarding rules that differ from place to place , there is nothing more frustrating than making a ruling and it being disputed because they dont play it ike that at XXX casino/cardroom- why is there such a difference

thanks

hows matt tyler doing please

hear hear , just been announced that one of the betfair blondes (bazzaboy/stallion/david barrie) has 65k plus - this must have been from a freind as it appeared on b fair forum - anywhere to be seen on cardplayers list ?

fantastic reporting you two - echo everyones words about how tough a job you have , never been to vegas so cant imagine how hard that is but seen 1st hand the work done at luton and blackpool - running about like blue arsed flies aint too bad a comparison
any idea what finish time is please ?

 that supposedly is day 1b end of play - they are reporting 20k ish leader at the moment with joe beevers very close

seems a lot of conflicts snoop - i seem to think rob sherwwod ended up about 40k plus on day 1a but no mention on card player , and the 223k guy doesent appear either - aint criticising btw just puzzled

great reporting snoops and jen - a question , been following all the threads so far and on cardplayer , can anyone tell me why their chip counts differ so much from yours , are they reporting only certain players or what , eg day 1b they have leader as eric sonstergard on 83k

LOL at the pics - only on blonde could steven hendry and ron jeremy appear next to each other
