Last Saturday of the month
SATURDAY 31st May 2008 Doors open at 11.30, Auction starts 12.15 we should be all playing by 12.30
TOURNAMENTS
You may only play in 1 Tournament at a time.
All players pay £5 on the first tournament they enter as a registration fee.
Tournaments will be on demand
and vary in entry fees and match lengths.
In this way every player gets to play what they want to play.
Most tournaments are 8 Player Events.
If you are knocked out you can enter another tournament
We start the day with a
Tournament Auction Entry Fee.(Format devised by Backgammon in London)
If you want to be part of this you must be in-situ
in front of the T.D. desk by 12.15 prompt.
(11.45 am is a better time to arrive by.)
Telephone registrations cannot be accepted.
All Fees are strictly in cash only.
Players are offered entry to Jackpot 1:
An 8 player 11 pointer minimum £10 obligatory pool tournament.
If there are more than 8 players
the entry fee is bid up until only 8 players
are willing to pay whatever the entry fee has gone up to.
Those 8 players then pay their entry fee,
their draw is made and off they go to play.
If we are left with more than 8 players then we will have another auction
for Jackpot 2
For these events, started by an auction,
there is a 5% auction charge. 95% return.
As players lose I will open up more jackpots with optional £10/£5 pools ranging from 7-1 points depending on demand
in these jackpots it will be 100% return
All tournaments (except the auctioned tournaments)
will feature a come-back-in option
so that players do not need to arrive bang on 12.15
and can stop to eat or chat after a loss.
All pool monies will be handed over at the start of final matches -
it's up to finalists if they do a deal. Default is winner takes all.
The winner of Jackpot 1 will get free entry into all the main pools on Tuesday nights at the club during June. This prize is sponsored by myself and is non transferable.
