Hi,

This is regarding the payouts for players who played in last seasons team event and scored points.

Having chatted to Brian Yates our captain last night it appears things weren"t clear regarding the payouts for people who scored points from those cashing in the GUKPT.

Basically the situation is this...

The top 4 points scorers got a GUKPT seat. We all agreed that 20% of anything we won would be shared out amongst the points scorers. I believed (and from what Barty has said he also believed) that this meant anything we won would be shared amongst all team mates who didn"t cash.

I was told last night that this is not the case and that the money is to be shared amongst only those who don"t play. I believe this is grossly unfair. I don"t see why somebody playing makes them ineligible.

In the worst case scenario, one player goes out on the bubble and the other 3 final table. In that case there"s going to be a lot of money to share out and basically every team member would get money except the one who played well for 2 days then got unlucky and bubbled. I cannot see how this is fair.

I agreed to pay the 20% as it"s a team game and we wouldn"t have won our seats without the whole team. However, that to me means the whole team should benefit and that should most definitely include the top 4 players as without their points we definitely wouldn"t have won.

If i go on to win it I cannot say to someone who finished in the top 4 and has played alongside me but not cashed that they get nothing whereas someone who scored 3 points all season gets paid.

Therefore i"m proposing that 20% of any winnings is paid out to ALL players who do not cash based on their finishing points.

and you"re telling me how unlucky you got no doubt!   ;)

AMRN:
if the agreement was pay 20% out to team members that didn"t make the top four (admirable choice btw), you could always share a further 10/20% with each other privately between the 4 players.

Bartyuk:
I will go with whatever is decided.... But i do think its right that players should be included in any payouts if they didnt cash with their seat. Because it would be very sad to be the only one not to win anything like andy says, it just wouldnt be fair on Tony....  ;)

Peace
