e-sports league - CVG Poker Champions

[teaulc]

trouble is Trev,just what have they done to adress it??nothing............
if they were gonna do anything it would have been done by now,which raises another question and one i am sure has been in peoples minds,are we really gonna be paid???
because to be honest i aint 100% sure it is gonna happen and i hope to god i am wrong,but they have had ample time to sort all the problems out,if they cant do it then pay me £50,000 a year to sort it,i would be very happy to do it then

[kippe6]

the other thing is if they do pay there will be teams that havent played a game getting money they wont even know its there

[GotaFancy?]

Well, the German league is running successfully (and so far as I understand is being managed properly) - they got paid out last season. I understand the German League to be a massive success. They make up the majority of the Champions League - if that is to go ahead (which at this stage you imagine it will) then I cannot see any problems with payment next week. Yes - if there are any issues with payment, we find out next week, but I'm expecting/hoping that will go smoothly.

eSport are on record, on PL, of saying they have no intention of leaving the result as it is and it WILL be changed - it's hard to imagine it wont be after such clarity from them..... Having said that, I agree, it gets harder and harder to implement the solution the longer it's left (but it HAS to be done) - Royal Flush think they won week 8 - after this long I dont know what their reaction will be when the real results are put in......

[teaulc]

on a lighter note guys,well done tonight,just 3 points off top spot with 2? games to go and back to full strength from wedsnesday onwards,
we are virtually guaranteed a spot in the Champions League and a possible very nice payday

please post your availability and i will let you know the team for wednesdays game on tuesday evening

[kippe6]

i can play even if i cant win. did you find out if we can import players to bolster our team

[Fonzie14]

Glad I could help.

But well done, guys! 2nd place, playing short-handed...

And I just got back home, so I will be available again for the last couple of games. Let's see if we can grab and/or hold on to that top spot (whatever the case may be with this Week 8 issue...)

[goater14(BPP)]

Available, but don,t mind sitting out to let Mr V play

as for the other issue, obviously they can,t leave round 8 as it stands.
The logical solution is either
1: cancel the round altogether
2: cancel the round and try to replay it (probably not viable)
3: recalculate the result with the chip leaders getting max points etc

It really needs to be sorted before the final game.

[GotaFancy?]

Bikeradar were clear winners on week 8 and 15 - would be incredibly unfair to cancel or replay......

I cannot see any fair/reasonable way of resolving it except to split the points in the frozen games in the same way cash would be split if a cash tournament crashed (and that would be unfair on us too as it would give the sit outs too many points.....more than they could have won - but a decision HAS to be taken)

[teaulc]

very generous of you Goater and will take you up on your offer,
team for Wednesday is:

teaulc
silentjay
fonzie
valiant
kippe

good luck guys,just 2 games to go lets go get the win

[SilentJay]

Sorry, only 9th for me. Re-raised pre-flop with AA, and was put all-in by one of the three big stacks. Knew he probably had a pair as well, but too hard to put it down. And heck... some people apparently win with pocket Aces occasionally. Anyway, he had 10s and hit his set... I didn't.

Good luck the rest of the way, guys!

Thanks Goat. I was a bit nervous about playing last night seeing as I hadn't played at all for over 2 and a half weeks but I think I did okay, if not spectacular.

You guys have done really well over the last two weeks and I'll be quite happy to step down for the final game if the skip says so.

[teaulc]

well i am not sure if Sunday is the last game or not,but we have had a decent enough crack at winning this and i am well pleased with how we have done,thanks guys for your efforts..
tough choice in picking the team but gonna go with the following:

teaulc
fonzie
goater
kippe
silentjay

lets give this our best shot of the league and win this thing.

[teaulc]
