Cool idea Splash.

See what we can do for ya.

HEHEHEHE

Mr. Moves. Yes indeedy.

Anyone who progresses from the initial tables will get prize money.

Ironside. I would imagine so. Unless the mighty Blackpool F.C. are playing in which case I will have too pull rank and watch them instead. But I'm pretty sure they aren't.Plus election results will b on late won't they??

Also forgot to mention the fact that on Friday 29th April, The Blackpool casino will be holding a 30 Super Satellite for the 1000 Main Event on 7th May. Blue Square the sponsors will be adding 3 free seats to the money generated.
Value?? Only if you win one.

Yogi

Please lets not start this again.

Ariston said he would sort out the trophy.

I believe he has got walsall and luton lined up to play whoever wins. At least they waited so they wont have to travel so far. HEHEHE


I saw your names in the line up already. See you on the Thursday.

Yogi.

Malc-m.

The best number to call for a hotel is 01253  478222.

This is the local tourist information. They will get u a room for anywher between 10 and 100 a night. Depends upon where and how you wanna live.

You can also buy in at any Grosvenor casino in person if you are near any.

Yogi

How it will work??

Ok i hope.

All players will start off with 4000 points. Blinds at 25/50. Each table will run as an individual game. No players moving to or from the table. The winner will advance to the final.

As the table winners will finish on different blind levels, we will reset the blinds to 100/200, and everyone will start with the same amount of chips.
If we get more than 10 tables then we will start the final with 2 tables, play down to 5 on each. Then put them  together with a redraw and continue on.

Hope that explains it all.

HEHEHEHE
I wont be going to the same one. I know a nice lady who will use a cutthroat razor at the back of the neck. sends shivers down my spine thinking of it.

Yogi

Before we all go off at an extreme tangent. Whoops too late you already have. There will not, and for people who might miss the word, NOT be any Shifting sands, or Padooki played on the dealers choice tables at the festival. If half the players dont know what is going on then how r the dealers meant to know.

There will be PLH, PLO, O/T high only and dealers choice. Any other suggestions will be listened to. Sit downs will range from 50-500, Antes from 1-5 dependent upon the sit down.

Hope that clears up any questions that Ariston in his eagerness to help out has caused you all to ask.

Yogi.

P.S. Btw. Tikay do we get a camera crew too? Shall i cut my hair and be presentable?

P.P.S. My heel whilst not mended properly, no longer causes me to not be at my station. I will be back from Friday. I know that will please some of ya but not others.

That sounds about right.

All competitions run by Grosvenor have to be played to a conclusion.

The advertised prize structure will be adhered to. So yes you will have to take other players' word for it.

As far as I am aware Grosvenor is the only casino group enforcing this policy.

Yogi

Good luck to all the boys from Blackpool, only a few left. Good luck to anyone i know, and if I don't know you get up to Blackpool next month and say Hi.

Yogi

Hi guys,

This sounds fun, but you may need a little impartiality (C'mon Blackpool).

As I should most definately be back working for the festival. I'll kindly volunteer to help you any way I can. Do the draw, Big it up. Try to make impartial desicions.

I suppose as you are going to run it as a heads up game, it won't matter overly if one of the players gets stuck in a final. But perhaps a reserve would be wise to add to your lists.

WE have chips you can use that are seperate from the competition chips. And I'll try and sort ya a dealer out for the last final game. Don't hold me to that tho coz you know how these casino people are with their staffing situations.

Look forward to seeing you all up in Sunny Blackpool(Torrential Downpour at the moment).

Yogi

Yes Bluewolf get the flyers and stuff sorted.

I would have presumed they had already been sent out. I'm sure if you call him he will post everything u need up to you. the number is 01253 341222

And yes Danny may not be runnin the show this time round but I'm sure Kriss and Clare will cope admirably in his absence like they have been doing so far. But who knows it's a good 3 weeks away, and breaks heal so he may be there.

Yogi

Hi Guys.

Are you all nicking my best ideas??

I've been putting some serious thought into an intercasino challenge whilst sat here nursing my fractured foot.

I do believe Luton and Reading had one a few years ago now. Someone should ask Carmel. Also, as for Ali Mallu being a Salford player? I've been in Blackpool for 10 years and he has been playing there that long at least. Salford opened 5 years or so ago. No contest he is a Blackpool boy. Altho I think he is a regular everywhere.

to go back to the original thread tho. No deals is not the rule. All competitions must be played to a conclusion and the prize structure adhered to. A chip count is not a "Deal" as it is specified in the rules as the conclusion to a game if it hasn't finished by a certain time.

Anyhow thats just my ha'penny worth.
