WSOP ME Sweepstake..
« on: July 01, 2012, 15:47:57 PM »
What you peeps think about having a Sweepstake last longer for the WSOPME?..

Was thinking perhaps having a list of say 30 random pros names, (more if interest requires) and doing a draw maybe a YouTube recording type thing..?

To get it going I think we need obv a interest in the first place, a trusted APAT member with a PayPal/ ps account which is willing to be involved with collecting funds, and maybe a person to organise list of runners, draw and posting results on forum.. ( if I did bink win I would give 10% to organiser  :) ).. Was thinking of maybe £5 winner takes all? ..

Your ideas comments..

Obv if this is alright with Des?

Definitely Carl, sounds like fun. Are you up for organising?


I don"t mind organising if nobody else wants to.. I"m pretty rubbish ( pathetic ) at spreadsheets etc.. We need a spreadsheet guru like Leigh IMO  ;D.. But could organise drafting up a list of players.. Would be a mixture of say previous ME winners, UK talent, etc etc.. Don"t mind handling the funds via PayPal or don"t mind someone else wanting to take this responsibility ..

Could you do a draw live on the APAT link on Veetle perhaps Des say a say or two before the ME starts?

Yeah i am in this on Blonde.. but the points collecting etc etc frightened me off as a stato nightmare.. hence the simple one off winner takes all last longer for ME.. but hey if some one fancies running it that way im all for that option, the live draw on the APAT feed was a bit of a fun sweat aswell  :)..

Or a fantasy league type draw where each person can pick a squad of five and scores points depending where they finish?
