The Blonde Bounty League: DTD Grand Prix Seats Added

[taximan007]

Thoroughly enjoyed my first foray into the blonde poker league tournaments only to finish in my favoured position of the bubble lol Thank you everyone for making me welcome. Hope work committments allow me to play more in the future.

Dear taximanph,

Did Tikay manage to play the 2nd one or did you have to play that as well Rich?

I've been the bounty in all of them.

Not what was planned or what you'd want, but that's life.

Sterling effort Mr Prew.

Bit of a sigh though unfortunately. Never mind.

Have you been disappointed with the turnout out or was it what you expected ? I've no idea what could be done to improve numbers.I was thinking a bigger package with the league being over a longer time period but it would have to be done in some way that meant interest would last until the end.

[TightEnd]

A litte disappointed but not too surprised

25-40 is a consistent turnout over about 3 years of blonde leagues, irrespective of format or platform.

Even the best leagues on here ever, the team events on blonde/Virgin card-rooms in 2007, got 60 runners tops

Of course I went with a format from feedback from quite a few people on a thread last month. Lead time to set one up is about a fortnight, and by the time its set up and needing to be announced the bounties, who indicated support and are names people would want to play, have other commitments/issues so its not ideal

As to the future, well put simply not enough people are supporting us on DTD which means that there are probably changes ahead which I would rather avoid but I just have to play the hand blonde is dealt.

Already DTD have indicated that the £500 added value is to stop at the end of this month. So as of November its back to a blank sheet of paper, probably a small league for fun, because they are fun, without added value.

I am of course grateful to everyone who plays the leagues and online via blonde onto DTD in general.

[mondatoo]

Fair enough for DTD to stop with added value,thanks for your efforts,appreciated.

Add Tikay and Flushy to this thread and also obviously the comps and you'd have loads more runners.

I haven't read the whole thread but I'm going to take a wild guess that neither has posted. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Blonde bounty league with those 2 as the bounties could've created a real buzz as it progressed.

It's not difficult really. Unfortunately I don't think either of them realise what their impact could potentially be.

You've done what you can Rich. It's up to the bosses to do their bit now and get involved.

EDIT: I understand that Tikay + Flushy are busy and haven't deliberately swerved this. It's not a dig at either one of them (except Flushy).

Can't make it tonight: I am off to see Billy Elliot with the family in London village for a few days during school holidays.

Trip report so far:

Amazing City, could do with a population transplant.

the people are rude?

[Eck]

Not so much, just mainly a bunch of to**ers.

[gatso]

we just don't like outsiders coming into our village. we're like parisians

[Laxie]

I'm playing tonight.  Not in contention for anything at the top, so will mostly be a fish trying to bink me way to the win.
