i'm sure you'll have no problem getting it sold as one 10% block but if for some reason you want to sell a couple of 1% blocks, i'll take them..

ditpoker

i thought the doller to euro was 1:1

as nick says, if ur selling 1%'s at all i'll take one or two from ya.

jbravado

Ill take 5% it its still availaible.

ianmc38

What can i get for a tenner?

semibluff

on a side note, how would one go about selling "advertising" of themselves. if one has a tickets that doesnt mean they have to wear paddy power gear, how interested are other companies in buying sponsorship - ??


ideas??

seriously man - how else do you think its gonna happen? your looking for the bossmen or head of marketing/PR - simple enough call the main switch/reception "hi im calling from the association and we are just updating our records - can you reconfirm the name of your head of marketing/MD/or whoever u think you need to speak with?"... "great thanks now can I just double check his email address Joe.Bloggs@iwantitall.com is that correct?"... "and does he have a direct dial?"..... you hang up send email, tell him you follow up with quick fonecall later - the seeds are planted and you can now get straight through to him/her without having to spend the first 5 mins explaining to him what your after? have you never had to pin your balls to the floor and make something work?

I qualified through PPP with a $6900 which gave me €1700(expenses are well covered) on top of the buy in. I'm not sure if I have to wear ppp gear but as a thank you to Boards.ie I don't mind wearing anything that advertises this site free of charge of course.

semibluff

ok bcb, jus wondering had anyone else tried doing something along these lines already? i was more thinking that the target market would be a poker company of some sort, and hence which one here would be best to contact.

also, dont fancy that balls to the floor thing, seems sore!

I think you have to wear PPP clothes. Part of the deal, maybe not

Yuck. I hope they are not like those ****ing hideous shirts with an orange and green paddypower logo plastered along the sleeve that i saw some people wearing in various dublin casinos after the IO last year. Gonna do my best to come up with some excuse not to wear their tat but they are the ones holding the gun (my entry) so i'm prob gonna have to relent and look like a gimp.

i doubt they would make you wear anything. If they added something to the prize pool then fair enough, but if not i wouldn't bother wearing anything. they got their reg fee from the satellite and that's all they get in that case.

Katooey succesfully returns from pub and decides after a long long long long long time of reading boards everyday that he should make his first post. nh,wp - after my performance last week you are probably correct about giving it to me to put on a horse...

u're kidding right? do they make you wear gear? karlh or pppboss im sure will clarify

bohsman

Think it was clarified in the wsop...

ocallagh

well I don't think they should. Not unless something was added to the package. If it was a freeroll or an overlay then fine. What are others thoughts on this?

From this link:http://www.irishpokeropen.com/qualify/qualifying-tandcs.php

Players agree that by qualifying for any satellite tournament on paddypowerpoker.com that they undertake to wear branding as supplied by paddypowerpoker.com at this event and to take part in any related promotional activity as stated by paddypowerpoker.com for a period of six months following the event into which the qualification process took place.


I think this is pretty sneaky as there is no mention of this in the user agreement you agree to when you initially sign up to the site.

phantom_lord

i took it that if you quailified on a site you had to wear their gear

58o

I believe on many sites (well stars anyway) it is optional

bohsman

Stars add money for travel/expenses in exchange for wearing their gear

fabsoul

no on stars any1 that Qualifier by cash sat don't have to wear ps gear.
only the FFP Qualifier do.

bohsman

and the fpp qualifiers get paid 1k to do so.

Daithio

I'll take 5% if it's still up for sale Lloyd. Can transfer it on full tilt.

I'm pretty certain that it wouldn't hold up as contractually binding if it went to court. But nobody's going to bother with that. I'm never playing another satellite on PPP again, it's a load of bollocks

I agree that there should always be an incentive to wear the clothing, otherwise I would never do it, but Paddy Power are smart enough to offer an incentive.

Imposter

I think we had this discussion last year around WSOP time and Pitboss's view on it was if you don't like it don't play on PPP. Quite a few took that option.

Sorry Lloyd for hijacking your thread and good luck with the sale, as for clothes I would were feckall and a PPP logo as I only had to pay €6 to enter this, although TV ratings might be affected (negatively) if they got a glimpse of my adonis like body.

carrigeen

in fairness to paddy power they are offering the paddy last competition , i think they have about 60 online qualifiers through their skin so it equates to roughly $200 each for wearing the clobber.

semibluff

The whole branded clothing thing is a real pet hate of mine.

If a company charges reg on a tournament and there is no overlay why on earth should the person who wins be held to wear branded clothing without any incentive. When I qualified for the wsop with PPP I wore the branded clothing because Karl is a mate of mine and I didnt want to stir it. Im fairly certain that the clothing condition would be unenforceable by law.

BigCityBanker

My understanding is that you can choose not to wear the branded clothing if you have qualified via PPP. However, should you choose not to wear it then it precludes you from certain add ons - i.e. you are not qualified for the Paddy Last competition. At least the above is my understanding after speaking with a PPP staff member yesterday.

I dont really have many concerns with having to wear their clobber but im not a fan of only having the clobber handed to you on the day - you arrive in the Burlo and are given a shirt to wear! You must change etc where do you leave you old gear etc etc.. I think they should make an effort to get the gear out to you the week beforehand if thats what your after. Personally I will be looking to either collect it or have a courier collect it for me earlier in the week on my behalf.

The paddy last offer is quite a good one so I wouldnt have a problem with wearing the gear then, its when nothing is offered I think its unfair.

Daithio

Nar KP, I do like PPP. They are very generous when sponsoring events, and the Paddy Last thing is great. The trip to Birmingham for the Nations Cup thing was really well run and they completely sorted us out, and I get on really well with everyone that works there. I just don't like the way their terms and conditions are phrased. I'd have no problem if they did something like pokerstars, where you get something extra for wearing their shirt. It just annoys me the way they try to make people believe they're contractually bound to advertise for them for free, when I really doubt that they'd have any case to argue if it actually came to a head.
