Royal Rumble Pool 2010? (discussion only)

Vince135792003 · 2010-01-01 17:45:20

I'm not sure how many years the board has done one but this would probably be the fifth year. I've organised it for the last 4 years with 3 of them being successful and last year being a disaster (entirely my responsibility due to me going AWOL). For new members of the board who don't know how it works, read the first post…

I'm not sure how many years the board has done one but this would probably be the fifth year.

I've organised it for the last 4 years with 3 of them being successful and last year being a disaster (entirely my responsibility due to me going AWOL).

For new members of the board who don't know how it works, read the first post of this thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055217045

I would like to organize another one again this year (if you trust me!). They are fun to do.

To minimize the time it takes to organise it, I will donate one prize for the winner, so it will be a little more low key than other years but less of a disaster than the previous year, again if there is interest.

Anyway, this is not a thread to state that you are joining the pool.

The point of this thread is to see if the board as a whole are interested doing another one or not.

All positive, negative and apathetic feedback welcomed.

Sounds good. It will make the Rumble that bit more interesting.

These always work out Vince. The forum is pretty reliable as somebody else is always willing to help out.

They bring the forum together and draw new posters in aswell.

If you need any help just PM me because I have set up a Rumble Pool before too.

I'm 100% in favour of Rumble pools (There are normally at least 2 pools due to the amount of interest).

To be honest, it's all the same whichever one we use. If ye want to use my one, cool but I'd say we should definetly use Vince135792003's one seeing as he is the one that's always doing this every year (well the last 4 anyway) and for the randomness of it

EDIT: Forgot to say. count me in on this

Rumble Pools are always good fun.

Must say I prefer the random draw style to the one someone already started this year.

the thread still seems to be people saying they are in, so assuming this is run (dunno whats happening with the one Dare 2 Defy made) then im also in, gotta defend my crown from last year.

looks like you have enough interest Vince, never thought itd be in doubt tbh esp considering as i said in D2D's thread last year we had two pools iirc

Tbh, you can delete my one now. This seems to be the offical one (random numbers and all that) so just go ahead with this.

So is the original one still happening? I ask because it seems that the new one is full up already.

Right, I've PM'd Vince135792003 about this and he said it was ok.

Basically, If his Rumble filled up, anyone who still wants to take part would go into my one. My one is going to be done up (a new one) and it's going along the same line of Vince's one (random numbers for everybody) and the numbers will be drawn after next Sunday in my one for any late-comers.

This is being posted in both the RR game threads so everyone will know about this.
