Subscriptions


Tier entries

Each player subscribes a mandatory £30 to the Thrift Tier. An upgrade to (but never a downgrade from) a higher tier is permitted at any time until the day before the tournament: simply transfer the appropriate increment to sort code 09-01-28 account number 09171270, account name Christopher Purchase, including your name as the reference, and email me confirmation.

Below are listed optional higher Tier subscriptions received so far. Understand that upgrading to a particular Tier automatically subscribes you to all the Tiers below - e.g. a Silver player pays an additional £90 on top of Thrift, making a total of £120; that £120 then goes £30 into the Thrift prize fund, £30 into Bronze, and £60 into Silver. Remember that the Tier prize funds are separate from each other: e.g. the winner of a Silver prize in a particular flight will be different from the the same flight's Bronze and Thrift beneficiaries if a player subscribed to those Tiers progresses further.

Bronze - additional £30 on top of Thrift (£60 total); 26 players, playing for an additional £780

Side Pools

​All side pools are optional and are separate from each other. You may enter a maximum of two adjacent value pools in any flight. Each pool will be returned 70% to the player (or divided equally between those players) who are in that pool, and who progress furthest in the relevant flight, and 30% (or similarly divided) to the player who progresses second-farthest. Note that pool winners will not necessarily be finalists in their flight.

Subscription(s) for lower flights than you actually play in, will be refunded: e.g. you subscribe to each of the £10 pools for all four flights, get relegated first to Consolation, and then to 2nd Chance, but avoid Last Chance; you will be refunded your £10 Last Chance pool subscription.

You are strongly encouraged to subscribe to side-pools either at the same time as you register to attend, or in advance of the tournament. There will also be a very limited time window on the Saturday morning of the tournament to join side pools.

To subscribe, simply transfer the appropriate sum to sort code 09-01-28 account number 09171270, account name Christopher Purchase, including your name as the reference, and email me confirmation.
