Thanks yogi, see u next week!

[Ironside]

any chance of telling us who the shootout will work doesnt sount like a straight forward shoot out to me

[Yogi-Bear]

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.

Well done Yogi, thanks!

Me & Thewy will be up from Thursday onards, and the Notts Boys will be there in force. Do we take the Trophy home, or would you like to display it? But get it engraved please. "Notts, Inaugural Winners".

[Yogi-Bear]

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.

[Ironside]

yogi are you gonna have the election results on the big screen on the thursday?

[Yogi-Bear]

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,

I like the sound of the shootout structure.  Will the final table all be paid then if you start with 100+?

[Yogi-Bear]

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??

[Ironside]

yogi what time does the 2nd day of the main event start/finish
not that i will make it but i need to know if it will be early enough
for me to drive home or if i will need an extra night in hotel

i was hoping to play the 500 on the thursday
but have to be at the hospital in inverness at lunchtime

so wont be able to get there in time

so hoping to drive down and play the main event
if i can sponge 300 from either my planned expense
for later in year or my savings account (i am tight but i think i might lend myself the money)

[RED-DOG]

Ironside, I didnt know you were thinking of coming to blackpool, hope you do, I know your a scot, but dont be such a tight arse, lend yourself the dough and come and see us.

mind you, I bet that drive is a pain, how long will it take you.

If you do come, look me up and I'll buy you half a shandy, If it wasnt for you I would never have got my photo up and heard all those complimentry remarks!

[Ironside]

it will take me about 7-8 hours so if i am planning on winning the event

i want to be leaving about 6 or 7 pm on sunday

if its gonna be any later i'll have to think about spending more on another night in hotel

Ohhh sh1t forgot it was the election. 

Went to an election party last time.....  You get lots of blue, red and yello cocktails. Give eveyone  letter(s) in the alphabet and when a constituancy is declared that begins with your letter(s) you have to drink the corresponding colour cocktail.  If an independant wins it you have to drink all 3.     

Was lots of fun except we ran out of grenadine after an hour and had to drink Blue Curacao for the next 2 months.  Maybe blackpool should sort this out to keep the railbirds amused? 

[Yogi-Bear]

Cool idea Splash.

See what we can do for ya.

HEHEHEHE
