hi polar

I had a quick chat with Virgin and the 1st place

will be decided over results over all 3 games (rather than a "final" that has to be qualified for in the previous 2 games)

so if I have my maths right so far over 2 games ... the final game will be crucial to decide who wins the 1st place

whichever way I score it (allowing for up to 10 and scoring as per our usual leagues or by reverse points for total game entries ie. 4 so far for each game - I'm not sure yet as it could work out unfairly either way ... probably the reverse points for the number of entries is the fairest way to do it ? ie. 4 players ... 4pts for 1st - 1 pt for 4th

MrsPolarBear & DarkRalph are in a tie for 1st ... so the final game this Thursday is I'm afraid going to be a decider between you ...

Game 1

1. allinbear / mrspolarbear ... 10pts / 4pts
2. DarkRalph ... 9pts / 3pts
3. nb1961 ... 8pts / 2pts
4. scrawnybob ... 7pts (not counted) / 1 pt

Game 2

1. Steponit / dooish ... 10pts / 4pts
2. DarkRalph ... 9pts / 3pts
3. allinbear1 / mrspolarbear ... 8pts / 2pts
4. scrawnybob ... 7pts / 1pt

Overall after 2 games (1 more to play)

1. Dark Ralph ... 18pts / 6pts
2. MrsPolarBear ... 18pts / 6pts
4. dooish ... 10pts / 4 pts
5. nb1961 ... 8pts / 2pts
3.scrawnybob ... 14pts / 2pts (not counted)

and same for the other places - which will be a bit academic as I think all of you will place for the 25 euro seat anyway

so as a quick rough guess everyone should be a winner in terms of buy-ins relative to the aded prize money + at least a 25euro satellite seat

hope that makes sense - but you all definately need to play the last game to decide who is going to take the first place main prize
