To start- 8 players per table. No more than one player from each team per pable. Tables will be closed in reverse numeric order (ie. table 20 is first to be closed etc.) If a player needs to be taken from one table to fill an empty seat the player to be moved will be the next big blind on the highest no. table. We will use cards with the table and seat no. for each player throughout the tournament..............if a table is being closed the cards representing the empty seats will be put face-down on the table and each player will draw a seat. The only position a player cannot come into on a new table is "small blind". If a player comes in as "big blind" it's unlucky but so be it. Tables will be kept at an average and as close to 8 players as possible throughout the tournament.

Yep I'm good to go

Doc Farrell

unfortunately after my last last disasterous run Culchie has requested that I resign as assistant coach. I pleaded with him to let me stay but he was adamant that I go, so, I won't be playing in the next one.

Culchie, I'm not sure if Paddy Hicks is free, he has a very busy social schedule? Do you want me to ask him?
or do you want to mention it yourself to him?

gl to my replacement, you'll have very small shoes to fill boyo!

and Nick, it's spelt 'Coming', u sick puppy!

I am not sure that I am available that weekend to be honest, and considering that the only one of our team that made the points will be in Vegas when this happens.

I should know in about a week if I will be around for this anyhow.

Same for me, not sure if I'm around. Also, I didn't play in the second one, so I'm not even sure if I have an option to play in this one. (Culchie/NTLbell, what's the story with this???)

Culchie

Lenny, I think you should play for the Culchies, cos you're a Mighty Man !

You take my spot, I'm not around.

Would be nice to keep as much of the genuine articles on display though.

1st and 2nd places ..... no pressure now NTL.

JoeyJJ

Venue: The Grasshopper, Clone

Whereabouts is this anyhow...

Lenny, NTL is capt now but once a culchie always a culchie i'd say...

roryc

I dont have the energy to round up FOS, so Im offering my services up to the highest bidder.

Ive only played this twice, and bagged 1st and 2nd, so Im...emmm.... a 'valuable asset to any team'

ntlbell

Fair enough Dom if you aren't too sure of your availability but this game is such a good set-up I don't want to miss it

So to that end I'm going to try and put the band back together in your absence and you can swoop in to head the team up when you decide you can't miss a bit of gamble at the last minute!

If anyone wants on the Fitz Breakeveners pm me. Obviously first refusal goes out to the men who did such a piss poor job the last time as a chance to redeem themselves namely

De Deraco
BigD
Brianmc (confirmed)
Kevin Maloney (is he a boardster?? if not can someone let him know his presence is requested?)
Sendic
5Starpool (spot being left open for the Cap'n)
Marq (Vegas bound so thats a big hole to fill)

The last time Ionapaul was our first sub so if you want in Paul let me know.

If the above "playas" aren't available can you let me know asap as we might take a rounders123 or a roryc if we have to!

Hang on a minute, didn't rounders123 start off as a boards stoopid, which is now the culchies? What you playing at, Olly?

Hi NTL, Is there any spots left on the culchies team, I've watched you play alot and I really feel I could learn alot from you.
To be honest I'm sick of been bullied by ollyk.

I told you before Brian, I wouldn't take olly's sloppy seconds.

Nice try tho.

You should be so lucky Beatch!

I forgot rounders played this first game as a Culchie. Shame another good man wasted......

I've sent a call to arms to the strong back four who have yet to get back to me explaining how this time we're missing Marq "Keano" O'Neill and the captain Dom "Kenny Cunningham" Heever is a doubt so its time for everyone to give 110%

I have a few good men in reserve to add some fresh legs and "to liven up things up front" if needed (maybe I'm taking this soccer team talk metaphor too far) so one way or another we'll be there Nick. I'll pay you the cash when I next steal your BB in the SE.

Olly.



P.S. Ntl any result on our bet or did the guys not bother with a final weigh in??

Where the hell is Clone anyhow? Olly, I am tempted to delay what I have to do until the bank holiday weekend so that I can play on this. I feel the need to redeem some honour. What troops have responded?

It's not looking good Dom so your presence would be great. Plus I knew you would crack

No response from the Devilfish or De Deraco or Ionapaul. Is everyone on holidays or what??

BigD has a lady friend or something and can't make it :rolleyes:

The snapper got snapped away by the Culchies.

I have 4 names on the sheet so far

Brianmc
Sendic
Ollyk1
and my brother the luckbox - he's our secret weapon since he has never failed to make the money in both the prestigious team events he's entered (chopping with Player X in the Kingsway challenge and finishing 2nd to Kevin Farrelly in the Gutshot challenge)

I'm going into arm twisting mode today so I'll get three more players boss if you come back on board!

Kevin Maloney has been around the Fitz a lot lately for cash games, but I haven't seen Shane for a good while. If you see one though you see both. I'm sure Paul will be up for it too, give him a text or something.
