Okay, so building on the top trump charity success of a few years ago, Big Phil has kindly allowed me to host a charity 'Speed Top Trump Game' using the pinball top trumps created a few years back as part of the Shine Charity campaign. This means that thirty players will get a chance to take part in a final to win some cool prizes including a £20 voucher from Pinball Mania, thanks to Andy - really appreciate your generosity. All money made goes to the Pink Tutu Charity fund for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
BTW if you have anything pinball related you wish to donate to the prize fund, please message me - I am hoping that I do not have to give away my antique collection of Edwardian toe nail clippings...
To enter, please reply to this thread with 'John your trumps are top' and i will add you on the team list below in the order i get your response. We are looking for 30 people in total. I will start a reserve list if i need to.
All i ask is fiver donation please! But wait.....
I will ask you (not yet though please...) to send five quid to the Just Giving page - with a comment to the charity link below, and put your pinball info name on the comments section with "John does big trumps..." That way i will know that you have paid
.
Oh and by the way i am also looking to borrow some of the packs of pinball top trumps that are mentioned above and pictured below please - again PM me if i can borrow a set please; i only have my set and will need Six in total.
Games
The games take place over Friday and Saturday night... With the first round taking place on Friday night, so if you are not there both nights you cannot take part, sorry! There will be five games happening with five people per game, the last one to obtain all the cards is the winner and secures their place in the final. The final will take place on Saturday night, both games will be timed for fifteen minutes. The person with the most cards when the time runs out is the winner.
Rules
You must be able to attend on Friday and Saturday heat 1 takes place on Friday night in the bar, heat 2 on Saturday night in the bar.
In Heat 1, thirty people play in six groups of five people for a chance to play as part of the final six
Heat one will be timed at fifteen minutes, after which the winner of each group will be the player with the most cards.
The final will be timed at fifteen minutes, after which the winner will be the player with the most cards.
If there is more than one player with the same amount of cards, there will be a single card play off where one card is picked at random and dealt to each player and I will then call out the stat.
If after this we still have two or more places then it will be Rock Paper and bloody scissors
