Gamblers Game - Champions League

Post by Selby White »

This competition will start in January and will be part of our 2020 Grand Prix series.

Rules :-
Players will be placed into two groups (based on 2019 GP finishing positions).
Any new players entering will be drawn into the groups.
Each Round you will have 4 matches to bet on (only your groups matches)
Each Player will have £100 to bet on 4 selected games (using all £100).
Must bet on each match (but can choose how money is split)
Minimum amount bet on one match is £2
You have up to kick off of first match to place bets
No editing of bets on the day of the match and if you do edit them before the day you must send me a PM to inform me.
There will be 6 rounds of matches.

Once these groups are finished the top 5 players will play a final against the player finishing in the same position in the other group.
eg :-
Winner Group A versus Winner Group B
R/U Group A versus R/U Group B
3rd Group A versus 3rd Group B
etc.

This will give us finishing positions with Grand prix points awarded as per other competitions.

I will automatically enter the 10 regular Gamblers - Mr Russell, BrighouseWhite, Rigger, DavyCC, Frankie, Big Jon, Barlow Boy, Cheffy007, KK White & myself.
Anyone else wanting to enter they have until Wednesday, let me know and you will join one of the groups.

Remember only bet on your own groups matches :thumbup:

Final Matches are neutral venue so PM bets by 2pm on day of match.
PM to myself for the top 4 matches and Barlow Boy for the bottom match
2 batches of matches with £100 to spend on each batch as per above rules
.
