Chip Counts Controversy

[dik9]

Your right LOL I thought you were implicating thats the way we should do it? Told you I was thick!

[BlueWolf]

If chipleader has over 50% of chips he takes 1st. £2700
2nd and 3rd take £650 Each
The remainder of prize money split pro rata.
IMO

Thats not correct.  If chip equity is worked out correctly, the chip leader should actually get slightly less than !st prize.  If the second and third were equal in chips, they should get slightly more than half of  2nd and 3rd prizes combined.  This is because if the tornament was played out there is a small chance that the chip leader wouldn't win. [This is what should happen - the rules in various casinos are probably incorrect]  

Fortunately we dont work in Chance in the cardroom, at the end of the day we have an advertised payout structure which Now due to the mighty GB we HAVE to stick to, The only variance with this is when chip counts occur although it cannot be ammended so that any player picks up more than the stated 1st prize. that would just lead to all sorts of insanity with players holding out for time when they amass a large ammount just to scoop a few extra quid. I know its all "your" money as i was so often reminded in the cardroom  but we have to look at the interests of everyone not just the player with the most chips and the way stated is the fairest way IMO

Just in case anyone gets the wrong impression of the way Chip counts are conducted at Nottingham, please be assured that chip counts are conducted in a proper and fair manner. As far as I can see there is no controversy. Just an individual being GREEDY.

No Player can win more than first prize.

Thats exactly what I said. "Controversy" in that several players (most not left in the competition) had a "who can shout louder" fest as the "issue" was being discussed. Funny though that the 96% guy is probably the most experienced player there and just didn't want to understand the principle involved. I guess a few hundred extra quid is really vital for him? To reiterate I have no problem with Notts chip count allocation policy

Just to throw a spanner in the works. But where does it say that someone can't receive more than the advertised 1st prize.

Dani??? Blue Wolf???

I don't even have a copy of how a chip count works. It just says chip count will take place at a certain time. Not how it's done or anything.

I know in the interests of fairness BLAH BLAH they wouldn't get 1st but if someone quizzed me I wouldn't have any back up, so would have to pay more than 1st in the above scenario. Wouldn't I??

remind me next time i am in blackpool and have 90% of the chips with 9 players left to make sure time is wasted untill we reach a chip count cause i am gonna fling that one at you yogi 90% of total prize pool minus a few % seems like a good deal to me

Dream on Iron, dream on......

[Yogi-Bear]

Obviously it will be without the 9 x 9th prtizes taken out then a 90% from there.

But yeah it should give u a healthy profit i guess. Just one problem with the theory Ironside mate. You with 90% of the chips?? How??

I'm positive its stated somewhere along with a rather complicated workings of chip count procedure, although not sure if its actually legally set in stone most likely not.

However my argument would begin with..." In the spirt of the game............" lmao
