Monthly BSOP Final (August)

kencleary

Well Hyzepher doesn't seem to have posted about this (probably beacuse he isnt in it for the first time ) so i'll start the thread going.

So when and where suits everybody? Personally instead of trekking out to somebody's house or apartment I'd prefer to just hold it in the Fitz sometime. I would assume we can go in anytime after 4pm on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, tell them we're having a single table tournament and pay €5 per head to the club.

Although its an extra expense I imagine most of us would spend that on taxis/buses out to whoevers hosting it anyway. What do people think?

mewso

I'll also volunteer my place but the Fitz would be fine with me.

DeVore

Aye, the Fitz is grand for me. I'd offer my place too (which has the benefit of not being smoke free) but personally would prefer the Fitz. It would cost us a fiver a head basically. We could play Saturday afternoon from 4pm and get a proper dealer too.

DeV.

Waylander

Anywhere is fine with me. Is there any chance of playing the final this weekend, or maybe the thursday next week. I have to go away on a stag for the weekend after.

kencleary

This Saturday at 4pm is fine by me.

karlh

this saturday is a problem for me.

can we make it the last weekend of the month as usual, sat 28th?

DeVore

This saturday is out for me. The final was announced to be on the 29th-31st. This saturday isnt really a runner for me but Sunday or the weekend 29-31st is fine.

Now that the finalists are decided, why not make the draw for the next heats and give everyone a headstart organising places and times?

DeV.

All in hand - should be out in next day or so

Hyzepher

Hyzepher

I fyou guys can agree a date I will ask Luke to allow us to play it without a cost to the club - I'm sure most will stay on to play STT or the like?

Hyzepher

DeVore

If Waylander cant play that weekend at all, I have no objection to Sunday this weekend but we need to be quick about telling people...

DeV.

DeVore

Luke was very keen on this when he spoke to me about it. I told him to talk to you about it so hopefully it should be ok. Either way, 5 quid is less then the cost of a taxi to someones house and we get all the chips, cards dealer without hassle...

DeV.

MrPudding

I don't think the Fitz should be charging for this game. 1 table for a couple of hours once a month. I think they could and shoul dlet it slide.

There's no harm in asking. If not I would recommend offering a fee of 3 euro per head. A regular sit and go takes ten percent and lasts an hour, usually at a tenner a head - 9 or 10 euro to the house. BSOP heats are generally around 3 hours long, so it would work out around the same. Can't see too many people complaining about a 3 euro charge. Despite Boards members' regular business in the Fitz - it's still a table that could be making money for the club were it not in use.

Iago

This weekend and next will be problematic for me during the day, anytime from 7 on I would be fine, but can't play in the afternoons due to prior commitments.

Either that or 6-7 on Thursday or Friday week before the main events in the fitz if we're playing there...

Waylander

Ok well it looks like somebody is going to miss out. If it is me so be it. I can play this Sunday but will not be able to make the following weekend unless it is on hte Thursday evening. If this does not suit most then that is cool.

kencleary

Thursday week is the night of the Fitz €270 tournament. I doubt they want us taking up a table beforehand when they're trying to organise single table tourneys for qualification and a 6pm freeroll and besides I haven't got a ticket yet so want to play in those . What about this Thursday at 6pm?

DeVore

This thursday is fine for me.

DeV.

karlh

this is going to get complicated. i cant this week unless its sunday evening. either that or fri/sat week.

so far i think this sunday suits most people?

whiteshadow

can't play this thursday


can play this sat/sunday
or the following sat/sunday

fitz is good idea

DeVore

DOES ANYONE OBJECT TO THIS SUNDAY AT 4PM in the Fitz ???

DeV.

Iago

I can't play at 4 on Sunday, best I could do is 7

quozl

this sunday would be great for me, I will be out of the country for the last weekend of the month so would have to miss the final if it's on then.

I could offer my place for the final if you guys want? If we're going to have it at 7pm the fitz might not want us taking up valuable space. And my place has plenty of room. We'd have to be done by 10 o clock though.

Greg

DeVore

I dont think we'll get a table at 7 because we would go on into the 20-in. Indeed I'd like to *play* in the 20-in!
We dont have to use the Fitz of course, we can always use my place but again would prefer if we werent playing on Sunday evening. If its the only time we can play then ok.

Anyone have a problem with Sunday 7pm?? If we were taking a table from the 20-in we'd definitely have to pay a fiver but I'd be fine with that.

Hyzepher, next month can we fix a time/place for the heats and to hell with those that cant make it (even if thats me) as it will save all this messin'

Greg

how long have other finals taken? Gary could you make it 6? 6:30?
I doubt we'd be done in 3 hours, would we?

Quozl you're place is great, better then mine for a large group.

DeV.

Hyzepher

What about a Tuesday in the Fitz - they only have the 5 card draw game and I would imagine the table upstairs would be free.

If you guys can agree by tomorrow 6pm then I will enforce a date.

Hyzepher

Iago

I could probably make 6.30, but 6 would be out. If it was starting at 6.30 you could blind me away until I arrive, if you want to put it off until a Tuesday evening that would suit as well.

Waylander

Either would suit me

mewso

I think every time and place mentioned is fine with me. Just to be different

kencleary

Tuesday is a LOT better for me than Sunday.

quozl

I'll be at the white stripes tuesday
But if it suits everyone else that's fine with me.

Would monday or wednesday 6.30 at my place suit everyone? Long shot I know

Greg

kencleary

Wednesdays fine by me - but I can do Sunday in the Fitz at a push if it suits everybody else

DeVore

If we are doing it on Sunday then we cant use the Fitz. We can play in my place or in Quozls (so long as we are out by 10).

So the options seem to have narrowed to
6:30 on Sunday
Monday (noone seems to have objected to this)
6:00 on Wednesday in the fitz?

DeV.

quozl

all 3 of Dev's options suit me.

Waylander

Me too

Iago

Monday would be my preferred time, followed by Wednesday and then Sunday

kencleary

Wednesday is my preferred by a long way, followed by Monday then Sunday.

DeVore

So is Wednesday at 6:30 in the Fitz out for anyone? Either that or my place.

Objections as quickly as possible though it seems we might have a winner in that one...

DeV.

karlh

wednesday 6.30 perfecto!

Waylander

Yeah, that is fine with me. I assume we are saying next week and not tonight?

DeVore

Correct. Wed 25th.
I'll see if I can secure a table for the final in the Fitz for the 3-4 hours that we'd be there. Might be tricky, if we cant then I'll host.

DeV.

quozl

perfect, thanks Tom

kencleary

Oh come on, somebody must have another objection. FFS this thread is still six posts behind the Heat 3 Time/Location thread!!!!

I object to ken cleary's presence in the final? i'm not bitter

DeVore

I object to Ken Cleary, but we all have to compromise....

DeV.

kencleary

You two can object all you like but when we combine your BSOP total scores we come up with a grand total of 0 points :rolleyes: Come back and criticise when you prove you can actually play this game bitches

DeVore

Hey, I have at least *1* point now, well... in a kind of ya'know, inevitable way...

I still havent figured out why I do worse at our games then I do in the Fitz... I think I have but we'll have to see....

DeV.

Corben Dallas

im really just trying to get this onto a 4th page.....

whiteshadow

DeVore

I'm confirming with them this evening. We'll definitely be playing at that time on that day, if necessary in my flat. Would like to get a table in the Fitz though...
