Of course we will have a few quid added to the bar tab and food will be provided.
Friday 13 August: Team event (£500 to be added to prize pool) , $55/£35 buy-in (holding tank in the Betfair Poker lobby under: *BFWCOP - Team Event #407141
Saturday 14 August: Individual event(£1,000 to be added to prize pool) , $150/£100 buy-in (holding tank in the Betfair Poker lobby under: *BFWCOP - Team Event #407140
Team event will be played in STT format and ideally we need to establish just how many people / players we expect.
Shall we say teams of either four or five? we need to assess who will be there on the Friday as number of players will determine the size of teams (we need about 8 - 10 teams or in terms of numbers 36 to 50 people.
Can we have captains put forward their team names by posting here asap?
Let me start it off:
Team 1: Dinkies & Donkies - Deny1 (capt.) posts here as quack, The Klup, Finalinsult posts here as ga yer Helmuthian Folds, fourth/fifth members to be confirmed in due course.
Hull city
top stuff m8 - well done
i will be there the friday and there will ba a FLASHMOB TEAM DETAILS TO FOLOW - previous years have been teams of 8 so possible flashmob will be after 2 teams,will be confirmed on here in coming days/weeks.
Mandylou
i think we need to establish how many teams are interested before we define numbers per team in the past it has been 8 teams of 8 on 8 tables and the format worked well although i think that may be a struggle this year with 64 players but 4/5 is probably a bit on the low side - however many we get we can work a schedule and format to suite from my side i would like to know who will be coming down for the friday day time and what exactly would you like to do on the friday suggetions - golf,go karts,paintball,(racing a bit far away in newbury that day)
all imput appreciated
Six of Clubs if not 8 teams of 8 then surely 7x7 is achievable? stt format is fine
there has always been a pro traders team, blatch was the captain last time i will get in touch with him to see what his plans are, he's a bit of a high roller these days so capt to be confirmed but i am sure we can get a pro traders team together
a game of golf would be decent, dont know if I can get there for Fri day though.

Can someone ask BF to delete the middle of this thread so its bfwcop stuff only?
I hope to attend, but been busto-ish for a while so its going to depend on that.
I'm happy to get a team together again if needs be.
Annabel (pq) is coming, weed is a maybe, both are maybes for team game.
Can i suggest one thing tho, that didn't happen enough last time... we need to invite as many new players as possible to this
Klup, could u start a thread aimed at new players/posters on here to come to this? Remember, part of the fun of all this is to get some good numbers, and for us all to meet new ppl etc rather than just a meetup of old faces. I bet many ppl who read/post here have seen this thread but are hesitant to get involved.

flashmob will almost certainly be there, probably as long the main event is not just going to be a 25 runner job
I#, away in germany at the mo for another couple of weeks so either snap or kev will hopefully keep their eye on here

I am very confident of numbers being fairly decent.
There are people interested - groups I know, that want to come but have not put their names down on here.
It will happen - the idea is to ensure people know that they are in for a good time!

As long as we chuck him in the river on the Saturday, then I think he will be up for it!
There will be some cash behind the bar and food - entertainment will certainly be on the cards and a bunch of poker players up for a laugh, and all will be well!

I'll do another 'pre match' write up of the team game when this is all sorted, whether i'm coming or not.
got to stir up the old competition a bit :D
also, see if betfair will put markets up again, like they did before, great for added interest.

on a serious note, yes - the event is open to all betfair players, though you might want to get into a team for the friday night game.
if you're fem and a stripper? Deffinitely ;)on a serious note, yes - the event is open to all betfair players, though you might want to get into a team for the friday night game.

I presume it's actually for all Betfair players / Betfair poker forum members (& any poker friends they want to bring along)!?!
Just in case there's people who might go from the forum but think they can't as they don't actually play on Betfair poker (God knows why they wouldn't though ;) )

it always has been essentially it started out as a game of poker/piss up with invites going out to virtually anyone who was playing on betfair or posting on the forum - a few brought partners/friends along and all were made welcome a lot of people have moved on but they have been replaced with a lot of others so no reason why the spirit and game cannot be kept alive

Definitely open to everyone - the more the merrier.
Only thing to note is - the added value to the prize money will be paid to player accounts.
try get a team together!

I checked prices and only Flybe fly into Southampton (for me anyway) and flights are around £150. I've booked Krakow via Liverpool instead for £80 and hopefully make a UEFA tie with my footy club. For that reason I can't go. Good luck all those that make it, I'm sure it will be a great weekend. Nice added value by Betfair BTW.

ok its just over a month to go and atm the team game isnt happening and the main event will have the same no of runners as the uzbekistan over 85 mixed egg and spoon race.
can we please have a rehash of who is coming and how the team game is progressing, i've tried to gather some interest on facebook but we need a driver and some solid foundations. i can only speak for myself but if it looks like its 10 or 15 ppl turning up and no team game its not worth the effort to go all that way. So can we please all try and make an effort to contact previous forumites and get some hard no's on how many are attending.
many thanks

so can anyone tell me how many people are attending so far? should i call the psychic hotline?
my situation is, no team game = no me. same for a main event with a poor turnout.

Will do this SoC ... just give a few days for a few faces to return from vegas.
I have no doubt we will be 50 players plus.
In my opinion, this will also be about having a good weekend celebrating the 14th of August 2010!

Any added value betfair pay out will be into betfair accounts only. The spirit of these games is for Betfair players, but bringing NEW players into the fold is also a positive thing.
They just need to open a betfair account ... takes 2 minutes :D

think we definetly need this clarifying , are duffs members going to be allowed (forum choice) and of course what is the stance for all players re buying in via holding tank and will they have to be betfair account holders

its always been forum members only and in previous bfwcop's its been closed off and locals could not and did not enter. i think if we can get 50/60+ it should stay that way, tbh if we can't get 50 then i doubt its going ahead as there won't be a team game anyway. i wouldnt want a team game half filled with locals - for me its about meeting old and new faces from the forum who you can banter with during and after the game.
the other side is that duffs are hosting this and should not have to subsidise a small no of forumites playing an exclusive event, so less than 50 turning up - just bin it and let them run their usual schedule, imho.

hello mate duffs will put a team together and i think everyone of those is actually a betfair player - obviously would include me and tony and maybe one other well known forumite regards the main game i dont want to throw it open house to our members but there may be half a dozen interested in playing , to be fair its no differrent really to games in the past where members have brought friends along

I hate to keep going on about this..but need to know one way or another.. Klup...you say someone will need to take the credit in their to enjoy the overlay....can you elaborate?? When we played in Birmingham, I brought up about 10 mates, 3 of which were members, the other 7 I told them, they had to join betfair I have no problem with doing this again, as about 15 who play in the leagues I run have indicated they would like to play, but only if it is necessary, as most don't even know how to switch on a computer

What I don't want is to lose perspective that this is a betfair event.
This is what I think we should do:
Drinks coupons will be issued to betfair players who register in through the holding tanks. You have enough time to inform friends of this or in duffs full house case, inform the regulars/members
Added value will be paid out to players who register through holding tanks. so top 5 holding tank place finishers share the 1k in normal payout fashion.
That way, any duffs regulars can play, any friends who are non account holders can play, yet the added value remains with betfair players.
Players can create accounts and buy into holding tanks.
I think this is fair. Any objections?

anyone who buys in through holding tanks- enjoys the added value benefits.
Non accout holders can open one up and register. That to me is fair - it also potentially adds clients for betfair and increases the potential for more faces to be present.

team game starting @ 6 might be a touch early if ppl are coming after work. just my 2p though
main event has usually started midday-2pm, is 6pm not too late? assume its something like 10k start + 30 min levels?

mandy is better placed to answer that ... but regarding the team event, we will be flexible, im sure. I recon 8pm start for team game is doable if stt format.

Will the house be open for the odd turbo stt if we need it?
Dont forget Ardbeg or Laphroaig
PS - klup will be going to rockme's club without fail, so if some of you want to join me, pencil it in. About 15mins away from Duffs full house, but as some of you know, Klup will be 1) pissed, 2) tired and 3) "tonights going to be a good night, tonights gonna be a good good night"
That sounds like superior technology Mandy.Will the house be open for the odd turbo stt if we need it? Dont forget Ardbeg or Laphroaig PS - klup will be going to rockme's club without fail, so if some of you want to join me, pencil it in. Abou
