There are now just 3 spaces left. If you want in now you need to pay either Paul Saxton or Sarah Macmullen. |

Full!
If you have missed out you can take pot luck on the day for ?12.50 on a first come first served basis. Experience has shown that people do drop out and there will be various other competitions running on the day.
The draw will be done at the Manor Club on Saturday evening at the league presentation.
We are still taking entries for the Ladies Competition up to 16 entrants.

That sucks, there is still 10 days before the final payment date yet people who signed up months ago have had their name removed from the list and new names replacing them.
If the only way to guarantee a place was to pay for it why doesn't say so at the top of the thread? Or a warning to say that your place will be given to someone if they get a chance to pay before you.
Does this also mean that there isn't a need to sign up on the site anymore? Your better off just giving ?10 to the organisers when you see them as the list on here doesn't appear to mean a thing until you see paid next to your name.
Oh well, at least I get a Sunday morning in bed now.

It is not 10 days before the final payment date. The 25th is the date the price increases to ?12.50 which was to encourage people to pay early had the competition not been filled. The comp became open to everyone on 10th January and that was well advertised. Croydon players had weeks to make their payment for the competition before it was opened up to everyone.
I am sorry you have missed out but everyone has had the same opportunity to be in this competition so I can't really understand your argument. |

well it kinda does, "first 64 PAID players", not "first 64 people to put their names down" |

Oh, go on then, I'd look like a tool if I said no now
I'll pay on Saturday (presentation) or Sunday (Surrey Classic) depending on who I see.

My point having your name on the list didn't actually mean a thing after the 10th, I assumed (granted, incorrectly) that this meant you had a space until the payment deadline. After that date your place would be offered to a reserve, as is the case with the other comps that happen throughout the year.
Oh well, all's well that ends well and it looks like you may have another runner in the ladies now as Dianne has also lost her place in the main event, I'll check with her first though.
Who is Site Team now anyway? Please tell me that isn't Saxtonator calling me 'my lovely' mfg:

We've never done it that way but that's how Surrey do their comps so I can understand why you thought that. |

Spence - you aren't the first to query the entrance terms of the comp and probably won't be the last.
Site Team - it's not as clear as you think and is open to interpretation, so next time - spell it out.

i would have thought "first 64 paid players" means first 64 people to pay their money are in the comp.
