e.g. me

Goodluck2me

can you not have it any sooner by any chance?such as this weekend??

bohsman

I work every Sunday so I wont be voting...

Imposter

What is every weekend suits? or 2 or 3 etc..

For me sunday is ok if 8pm or later but other days work good too (tues and thurs in particular).

breadmonkey

This looks like it's going to be tough....

bohsman

Actually Sunday works if its after 11pm

I don't think we can suit everybody,I think Sunday will suit more than any other day.As for having it this weekend thats to soon we need a few days to let people vote and the setup the game,you would not be happy if you did not log into the poker forum for a few days and came back next week and the MTT was played.

Goodluck2me

no prob that seems fair enough. exams are looming though ya know!

Even if you don't get to play in the MTT, you still get to pick (or get assigned) a team, so the sweepstakes should still be a whole lot of fun. Realistically, if you're not in the top eight or so of the MTT, you won't be getting a front running team in any case.

Well not really TBH, you're guaranteed the worst or second worst team. In which case you could go to the bookies and get +150:1. I think we should try and suit as many people as possible.

Isn't that why we're having a poll?

ionapaul

I imagine only 20 or so will play the MTT, which would leave 12 teams up for grabs - how will the allocation of these teams be decided?

Culchie

Sunday May 21st

Well the seating will be random.....so just let them blind out.

They'll be more than half the runners gone by then, so they'll get half decent teams anyway (imo)

good idea culchie.

i originally voted 30th, but I don't really mind when it takes place.

ionapaul

That's only if they actually buy into the MTT, though! If people arn't going to be around to play, for whatever reason, why would they throw away $10 registering for the MTT? If I can't play, I would rather just be assigned one of the 'left over' teams, then having to go out of my way and waste money...I'd hope that even getting knocked out 1st in the MTT, I'd get to select a team ahead of those who couldn't play at all

Any of the Sundays suit me providing it's between 8pm and 10pm so i'm not voting.

Dub13

Sunday May 14th

So with two abstaining (Oscar & Imposter) we have two votes still to be cast.Its close like an Italian election.

Tom and Lennie leanard,I can see some intense lobbying coming.I see Tom as a Silvio Berlusconi type of finger in this situation,he owns a big media giant and could fix/rig this election.We have an eye on you Mr Murphy.

You need to prepare a brown envelope for the remaining two undeclared voters

Dub13

Sunday May 14th

Don't forget Oscar & Imposter may decide to vote in the end so there may be 4 votes up for grabs.

Looks like we have a road trip.....32 of us are of to Limerick to give Nicky the mother of all wedgies.:p

OOC
If the winning Sunday wins with lets say 15/16 votes, what happens if that's all the players that play, how do you then allocate the remaining teams left after the players get their choices?

We will just have to do a draw for the rest of the teams.

Sorry lads, forgot about this. Sunday never suits me, so I wont be voting either!

Looks like its all down to Tom.

Seeing as it looks like the MTT will be held on the bank holiday weekend. Is there any chance we can play it on the monday night as im sure a lot of people will either be away for the weekend or on the piss.

I know this sounds very awkward at this stage but just a suggestion as most people dont do much on a monday night of a bank holiday weekend.

It may be something we could look into if it suites a few people.

Apoliges for voting, didnt read the first page but its like asking Dougal not to push this button on a plane...

I know he has super powers but one vote cant change it now.

I would to be honest rather the bank holiday monday night at say 10pm. This is on Stars isn't it

Ste05

Sunday May 14th

OOH, thought it was over, but good old Nicky and Rasta keep it going...

COME ON THE 7th!!

EDIT: Brown Paper Envelope Offer revoked. If we had it on the bank holiday Monday as has been suggested above then that'd be fine with me too and I'd have no bother with that day.

We have an extra vote in for the 30th so there is only one vote in it,if Tom was to vote for the 7th it would be a tie.

If as looks likely the bank holiday wins I will post another poll and see if the Monday suites more people than the Sunday.

Ste05

Sunday May 14th

What happens if it's a tie??

Re-count including the Bank Holiday Monday??

Hmmm, how can we have more polls .... :cool:

Dub13

Sunday May 14th

If its a tie (which I don't think will happen) we can let the lads who voted for the two later dates pick one of the earlier ones,3 have voted for 14th or 21st so that should sort it out.

Monday night might be good, as said above what else would one be doing?

RECOVERING

Lafortezza

Closed as Dub13 wants to put up a new improved poll I think.

DeVore

I would vote for the Long weekend coming up. But I cant as its lock. I could open the thread and vote but oooh look, shiny thing...
