Online poker - Forum vs Forum tournament

[mikkyT]

Edit: Gambler
Teams potentially interested so far:

gambling.co.uk forums (confirmed)
punters lounge (confirmed)
ladbrokes poker forum
team badbeat
uncoverpoker

We need one more, and then need to get confirmation from all the forums once we've sorted out a date. I'm looking to create a 3 game series with $500 prizes for each freeroll, and $500 awarded to the forum with the most points after the 3 events.

As for the last team, how about a meetup.com team, consisting of members from both the London poker meetup sites? The members of the Bristol site who want to play can play as part of team gambling.co.uk.

Go team gambling.co.uk!

Thanks for the info mikkyT. It would have been a great idea, but unfortunately we recently acquired another poker forum and they had already been entered for this contest.

Therefore, I think we probably shouldn't enter too as that'll involve one of our forums competing against another one.

Bump.

How about we organise a Forum vs Forum tournament challenge through poker.co.uk? Not sure of prizes, timescales, and whether it'll be a one off or a regular thing? Perhaps it could replace one of our forum exclusive freerolls, so that we go:

week 1: $150 forum exclusive freeroll
week 2: $150 value added forum-exclusive tourney
week 3: $150 forum exclusive freeroll
week 5: $500 Forum vs Forum challenge.

What do you think?

how come the other forum gets to play and we dont? who cares if you got 2 forums entered? and where is this other forum anyway?

[jglenny]

Any excuse for a game of poker and ill be there.

The original post was a year ago today. It was back at a time when our poker forum wasn't very busy - we possibly had 2 or 3 frequent posters. Our other forum - outdrawn.com - had a load more, so made more sense at the time putting them into the tourney.

outdrawn.com is now no more. Now we only run forums on this site, and www.gamesforum.com

That sounds like a good idea gambler, any idea of which forum or forums you want to be up against?

i like the idea of a forum vs forum challenge and possibly a heads up forum challenge too, in a team format say 5 players from each forum

oh and what do we do on week 4??

Thanks

No, I'm not sure yet. I'll have to approach the other forums, or ask people who are members of other forums to ask them if they want to take part. When asking other forums, it's best to PM the admin guy there to avoid spamming. But, there's no point asking yet, I'll finalise the details in the next couple of days.

Im sure the forum freeroll challenge starts 1 or 2 am uk time.
