Punters Lounge will always be in very good hands with or without me, that I can promise @Valentine   

Splendid.....your forum is soo resourceful.
Hope you've drawn up post retirement plans for this wonderful community.
Cheers..

OMG first 4 in a fashion?

I'm convinced Tiger Roll will be placed, the price of 5/1 at a 1/5 odds just stinks, its a good move by the bookies to generate turnover and just give the money back to the customers to bet on something else.
So who will mug him on the run-in??
My top 4
1 Potters Corner

How is everyone getting along, whether in your personal isolation quest or braving work to keep the country afloat? We at Punters Lounge are here to try keep your spirits up.
 
So for April we are delighted to tell you that we are DOUBLING  our normal monthly added value to £300 for our poker league.
The league runs for 4 legs on Wednesday nights, starting time is 8.10pm, with a 10 minute late registration period on top of this.  All games are played in the PokerStars Home Games PL Poker Club.  We have a PLO leg in week 3 with the other 3 legs NLHE. 
 > Leg 1 : Wednesday 1st April at 20.10 BST in the PL Poker Club Home Game.
 > Leg 2 : 8th April
 > Leg 3 : 15th April - PLO Leg
 > Leg 4 : 22nd April - double entrants in formula *
 > Fun Week : 29th April - details to follow
Buy in is $5.50 per leg.
Your top 3 scores of the 4 legs will count towards your league total. We will be using the usual PL league format, which will be updated in this thread. (The PokerStars own league scores will not be used.) Formula is -Log(position/Entrants)x100
To help boost numbers overall and in particular in the final leg we are continuing the system of doubling the number of entries used in the calculation in leg 4 ( * so if 12 entries the formula will use 24 entrants). This will increase the number of points available in the final leg to make it more competitive.
All members are welcome, however you must post in this thread if asked to let us know your forum username, otherwise your placings and scores cannot be included in the league.  Please spread the word and invite your friends so we can get the weekly numbers to keep this league viable.  New players always welcome to join in.

£300 Added Value

£250 of the added value will be split between the top 3 players at the league end, with £125 to the league champion, £75 to 2nd and £50 to 3rd. 
Plus I am placing a weekly £10 bounty on my head (PL-AvonGirl).
I'll set aside the remaining £10 for the winner of whatever game we play in the week 5 fun week (and if I either miss or win a weekly leg I'll add that £10 bounty money to increase this).
All added amounts will be payable via PayPal at the end of the league.  Big thank you to SirPuntalot and Punters Lounge for the added funds.  The league winner will also get Punters Lounge merchandise. See below.

Punters Lounge Merchandise

You can win unlimited Punters Lounge merchandise, even if you have won them before. It consists of our logo mug and pack of 10 pens.
Good luck!

Stay Safe Everyone 

Not that I'm likely to feature on the podium... but many thanks to Sir Puntalot for your kindness and generosity 

@theacademic - We normally don't allow these surveys as it's effectively spam, but if you contribute to the topic here then of course that's a different story.  

Interesting survey and one that addresses an issue that is very important in this day and age mate. I've filled it in. Nothing happened when I clicked on the arrow to the right at the end of the survey but hopefully it's recorded my information.
For my part, I'll say it's an issue I have strong views about. A couple of my friends quit football because of homophobic abuse. The use of the term "fag" and "queer c*nt" are frequently heard in our local leagues. Whenever our club has brought the issue up with referees, league officials etc it's been ignored or dismissed as "one of those things". This is in line with a range of gripes I have with football authorities in general. They're archaic, privileged, and ignorant. OK, that might be a generalisation but it's certainly the case from my extensive experience and the experience of others I know. Until the people at the very top change their attitudes then not a lot will change.
