I think we be close to 600, confident in that!

Hep Hep get in there NOW!

Anna panna...

Last reg is 30 th at GMT midnight......

HOWEVER... the cancellation of the tourney needs to be done manually so please dont leave it to last houer if you intend to reg, they can cancell it 23.00 just as well as 24:00 but have promised me to do it as close as they possible can but: night between 30 and 1, entire network are swoping from dollar to Euro so this is a tricky night. They start the changing 23.30 so my very strong hunch is that IPO reg close around 23:00 instead of Midnight.

so if you intend to reg, just do it, dont wait to sunday night.

and also remember its GMT ... 3 days 13 hr so so left now!

If you are working in Euro your matsh isn't near as good as your clamping.

Mr Magnolia

I'm in. Registered last night.

C4Queen

Am still amazed.....


got an email today from a player that very happy stated that he used his friends card to deposit so now he was registred to IPO but when he wanted to log in and play today, his account was blocked and he was very upseat over this.

hmmmm wonder WHY it was blocked!!!!

If i got grey hair on october 6 th please pretend you dont see it. Just smile and say lovley dear, fancy a drink?

C4Queen

and also..... dont mess with me , am with the Dublin boys

NickyOD

I'm registered now. This is going to be such an easy event to win.

bohsman

Meh, Im gonna come 3rd as per usual.

carfax

463 registered and paid in full right now. 3 and a half days of registration left.

Guys I should point out that you can add 80 to 100 players to this number right now as we are making a special arrangement on Mermaid for French players (and French players only) to pay their buy-in.

I think we might actually have a chance of breaking the record of 708 but we need players to get behind this tournament and GET REGISTERED!

C4Queen

boys boys.... this is the biggest fishing contest ever seen lol.. and winner is of course a swedish woman ! Mheeeee.....

Dont mess with me am with the Dublin lads. lol soon i need to figure out who they are but it sounds good to say!


Hep Hep Clap Clap 463 in NOW.

Mellor

I think we should stop it at 700, to maximise the added money :D
or 709 at the most

" if the prize pool reaches 100,000 would we consider capping it and allowing free entry to those less well off" ????

That just made me laugh out loud. Must try that in a music store. "I hear this band have sold 100,000 copies. Can I get it for free now?"

Music Ireland have a huge conference on the same day as the IPO in the RDS by the way....If anyone is interested (and gets knocked out of the tournament) there will be a drum teaching session going on and lots of other activity.

They sell them North of the border at any paypoint outlet....They're not available in the Republic but you can try this site if you want;
https://www.wertkartenverkauf.com/

Its where I was buying them.

Mermaid have lots of different deposit options too.

Questions like these make baby Jesus cry;

'Hi there is it possible to pay cash on the day to enter your tournament'

DeadParrot

Stephen I was talking to a lad here in work and he was about another dozen people to register
Also, there was a bit of interest in JP's game in the Silver Granite last night.
There was however, a few of the 'I'll pay on the day' variety

Four of a kind

Im in. 483 and counting! Anyone want to take a €500 last longer side bet?? :eek:

Cheers for that, the more people that know about it the better....JP was telling me that a lot of his players are saying that but he's told them otherwise....They obviously don't know how stubborn myself and Derek are.

PLAYERS;
YOU WILL NOT GET IN IF YOU TURN UP ON THE DAY WITH CASH IN YOUR HAND.
WE JUST HAVE TOO MUCH INVESTED (TIME AND EFFORT MOSTLY) IN THIS TO CHANGE OUR MINDS AND TAKE CASH. GET IN AND GET REGISTERED NOW.

stevire

Any word on the parking facilities yet?? Can we park in the RDS or is there anywhere nearby? Also, whats the max number of players allowed to move on to day two in the Jackpot?

RasTa

503 now. If all these Frenchy's are coming over, there should be 700+

ocallagh

Would be great if it broke the 710 mark, or whatever they got at the Irish Open!

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

Mr.Plough

wonder if it'll get any tv coverage. better wear the birthday suit just in case

Slash/ED

Bah, I'm absolutley gutted. I was waiting until the last minute to register as needed to hear from a new job, turns out they're starting me on the 6th until 5. I don't feckin' believe it.

"assumption is the mother of all **** up"


Hep hep clap clap.

The Clamper

actually its 5 1 3 now
thats 87,000 smackerooneys

not to be sneezed at

a guy calls me this evening, i know him very well

he asks whats the story about day 2 of this event
i ask
why would you be interested, sure even if you play day 1, what are the odds of you making day 2
he laughs out loud
seriously he says, whats the story about day 2
i say
i was being serious


funniest question i was asked so far is
if i make the day 2 part, where are you putting us up, i.e. the 4 seasons hotel or somewhere nice?

another 1
"about food, have you considered that some of us are vegans ? and what sort of food will we be getting"?
i replied
"hmmm, no, its the international open, not the interplanetry open
now go back to vegas or vega or wherever that place is"
i couldnt resist it, after a long day
if the guy is reading this, i apologise
if he isnt, then i dont

was i wrong, probably,,,,so i apologise again, but i cant help myself
