good idea. but how are you going to prevent stiffers from entering?

FuzzyDunlop · 03-29-11, 03:12 PM

They really aren't stiffers until the end. Everyone is on their honor, if they don't pay, they become loans.

BGboothA · 03-29-11, 03:30 PM

I would feel better about transfering all the points to one person...have them be the bank for the month, then have them transfer out winnings accordingly.

This would be good and probably easier for everybody.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-29-11, 04:08 PM

If someone stiffs, the pool is out 50 points. If someone ***** up with all the points, the whole contest is for not. Personal responsibility is less risky. With an end date of Saturday and a payment due date of Wednesday, any pro can earn the 50 points needed to ship out. If they don't, the casher gets 30% on top of what they are owed or the scumbag gets junk loans reported on them in the credit report and aren't allowed in any future contests like this.

ngates815 · 03-29-11, 04:14 PM

How about everyone who is in transfer you the 50 points...Keep your scoring system the same.

At the end,

You keep 35 for running the tourney and for payout rake fees.

Based on 22 entrants (1000 points paid out, Fuzzy Dunlop keeps 35 for his services)
Overall Standings
1st Place - 45%
2nd Place - 25%
3rd Place - 15%
4th Place - 10%
5th Place - 5%

If we can get 22 people to sign up, then top 5 get paid out, and 5th place gets back his entry fee.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-29-11, 04:21 PM

22 entrants would be 1,100 in the pool. I'm not interested in making anything off of this, there are much more opportunities this month to earn points with the smaller weekday fields that I really don't think welching will be an issue, if it is, we can address it for future months. Would consider paying 5 spots if we break 30.

kidk · 03-29-11, 04:25 PM

Sooooo........you're saying there's a chance? (seriously though, are you in? You just won March's Vaguest Answer contest.)

BeerDog99 · 03-29-11, 04:40 PM

I can't always play everyday or Saturdays but I am in. GL All

BGboothA · 03-29-11, 04:43 PM

Yeah I can't play everyday, and most saturdays are out, but its a good idea....I am in.

aggieshawn · 03-29-11, 05:40 PM

aggieshawn is in. giving you the points now. as i will lose them all by tomorrow. i have a gambling problem.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-29-11, 06:01 PM

Fine, I respect your honesty. The 50 will stay under my name, never being transferred out or touched until the end.

noober · 03-29-11, 06:21 PM

how about everybody gives the points to thaddeus. i think everyone trusts this guy.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-29-11, 07:01 PM

I'm fine with that, I just got boned in rake.

aggieshawn · 03-29-11, 08:30 PM

30 more to take care of the rake out too.

"Fuzzy's Idea he should be in charge. If you don't trust Fuzzy than don't go in the contest. It is kinda insulting to Fuzzy to nominate another to the keeper of the points." My opinion.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-29-11, 08:40 PM

I could care less about holding or not holding, I know I'm new and don't really want to hold anything. Hopefully we can figure something out, I'm fine with opening an account at The Bank of Thaddeus if that's easier.

BGboothA · 03-29-11, 10:30 PM

I don't have a problem with Fuzzy holding it, or Thad or anyone really.

4uk4life · 03-29-11, 11:46 PM

I'm down with anything you decide to do, paying out ourselves or sending to someone to hold. Doesn't matter to me.

I am in too!!! I think that the way with Thadd is the easiest and most appropriate! But i am in anyway!

agree - would almost rather have one person hold

FuzzyDunlop · 03-30-11, 08:00 AM

I'll post in Thaddeus' Bank thread and open an account for the tourney. Will have him post here so we can transfer and easily see who's paid.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-30-11, 11:17 AM

Posted to Thaddeus, asked him to reply here. If he does, send points to him in that post so we can see who's paid up. Aggieshawn, I obviously have you. I'll change the OP about payment when needed.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-30-11, 11:33 AM

If Thaddeus can't, I have no problem with Downsouth holding. He has about 11K in loans owed to him making 250 a day, dude's not going anywhere.

horja1 · 03-30-11, 11:50 AM

I'm in ... I'm curently paying back two loans to Thadd (still have to pay 700 points) but he'll let me keep 50 points for this contest.

downsouth · 03-30-11, 12:32 PM

Im in. Saturday shoulnot count as it has too much variety with larger field. Weekdays provide consistent format everyday for standings.

ThaddeusB · 03-30-11, 12:42 PM

As per Fuzzy's request, I would be happy to hold the points. I will cover the rake charged to me, so there is no need to send extra.

If no one has a problem with it, I will also enter the contest.

ThaddeusB · 03-30-11, 12:45 PM

I do not anticipate non-pros being interested in joining anyway, but if anyone was I would be fine with them sending 2/day for 25 days to cover the necessary 50 (if Fuzzy approves).

The higher variance in the weekends could make it more exciting, hence the double points. The last tournament of the series is on a Saturday, would be great to have major implications on the line at the finish line.

I have no problem with this, if anyone else that has entered does, feel free to speak up. If no one does, I'm adding Thaddeus to the Entrants List in 24 hours.

I would like to open this to non-pros too, but let's run this month smoothly before we make it any more complicated with non-pro payment threads. It's a decent sized undertaking as is for the first one.

FuzzyDunlop · 03-30-11, 12:57 PM

I can't edit the OP after 24 hours, will look into it. Still need to add downsouth to the entrants list.
