    Snooker World Championships sweepstakes (with a difference)

    So this kicks off on 17th April and it's a 32 player event, so looking for up to 32 players to take part. It will be run slightly different to a regular sweepstakes. All players will be put into a virtual hat and drawn randomly so that much is the same. It will be $20 a player that will need to be transferred before the start of play. I wont be using my accounts, so hopefully someone cant setup, or offer their poker accounts as escrow.

    The money will be split 70/30 for winner/runner up so it will be $448/$192 based on a full 32 players. There will also be a forfeit on every match thats played.

    The loser of each tie, will send the winner $15. If the losing player has a higher rank than the winning player, this must be doubled to $30. As each player can only lose once, the max spend is $20 entry fee + $30 match loss.

    e.g

    John Higgins (1) v Barry Hawkins (17)

    Mark King (16) v Steve Davis (23)

    if Higgins beats Hawkins and Davis beats King, then Hawkins owed Higgins $15 and King owes Davis $30


    However the winning player has a possibility to scoop $30 per game, which could be as much as 5 x $30 plus the $448 first priZe (damn button not working)

    This will continue for every round up to and including the final.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    John Higgins (1) v Barry Hawkins (17)

    Mark King (16) v Steve Davis (23)

    Neil Robertson (9) v Fergal O'Brien (31)

    Marco Fu (8) v Martin Gould (46)

    Ali Carter (5) v Jamie Cope (18)

    Joe Perry (12) v Michael Holt (24)

    Ding Junhui (13) v Stuart Pettman (37)

    Shaun Murphy (4) v Gerrard Greene (32)

    Stephen Maguire (3) v Stephen Lee (25)

    Peter Ebdon (14) v Graeme Dott (28)

    Mark Allen (11) v Tom Ford (49)

    Ryan Day (6) v Mark Davis (47)

    Mark Selby (7) v Ken Doherty (44)

    Stephen Hendry (10) v Anda Zhang (99)

    Mark Williams (15) v Marcus Campbell (45)

    Ronnie O'Sullivan (2) v Liang Wenbo (27)

                            Anymore interest in this? We have 13 players willing to take 19 players so 13 players remaining. Will sort this out later and start getting money transferred across.

                                                Try running a 54 players HeadsUp league, and playing the Werewolf game and you'll know all about. I've had to empty my PM box about 4 times so far!

Leaving for Dublin in a few hours so will see where we stand tomorrow and see who still owes.

                                                                                                        Once all players are paid for, we'll do the completely random draw
                                                                                                        Will you be doing this on webcam Tony? X-rated?

I'll see which way depending on how much time i have and how easy it will be!
