I"ll be entering this £100+ tournament one way or another... most likely via the clickfest!

I"ve spent a small fortune on a new pc just so that it"s reliable enough to get me through the clickfest. (Last year it once crashed 2 minutes before 9pm)

Now that"s dedication. (or stupidity)

Iain that is simply not true. I wait until the wipers go before I change cars.

I will tell you what dedication is!

My computer is ****ed so cant enter qualifiers, cant even turn the machine on.... but am desperate to play in the tournament, so I am gonna stay at work until 9pm just so I can register!!! sad but havent played in any of these events yet and it looks like a great set up.

Personally, I think a certain Lee Mulligan (Welsh champion in season 1) showed us all what dedication was.

Lee travelled from Southampton to Edinburgh on the day of the Scottish Amateur Championship, without a seat, in the hope of securing one on the day via the reserve list. He was there 3 or 4 hours before the casino opened.

The reserve list is something compiled on the day by Des on the doorstep of the venue. Folk from this list take seats people give up on the day.

Oh, and his dedication got him a seat.

Dedication is travelling over the water without a seat with Scouse Bayliff in the car. Driving the whole way to Edinburgh and being at the casino hours before the event only to get so drunk I fell of my chair and donked of all my chips half hour before the end of day one Woop Woop!!  Then driving down to Southampton from Edinburgh with the worst hangover ever 10 hours of hell. Dedication or stupidity cant tell which, I"m on shandies this season.
