Just a few small changes to the weekends structure. For example the $30 Bounty event has been moved from Sunday to Saturday,

You have to be kidding me.

Let's all get upset that the bounty tournament isn't played on Sunday. :roll:

Here's how much we have invested in this Grand Final.

Over $15,000 in operating this event; we are not making a cent and actually have spent a fair chunk of change over the whole weekend. Wait till you see the feature table set up.

Over $3,000 in airfares and accomodation over budget (not all packages equal $500 - too many tasmanians won packages - LOL).

Over $15,000 in GTD prizes for the side events (Aussie Millions is a $12,000 package and obviously bears the big part of the weight).

Shane Warne is attending - he drinks expensive vodka.

All Operational managament are working for free over the whole weekend.

Dealers on the second day of play are working for free and volunteering.

And obviously the very large alcohol bill that will be drummed up on the Sunday night and more than likely 90% of that will be credited to my personal gold card.

Strippers in Adelaide are expensive.

So if I can cover the large percentage of our costs (i.e: AM ME Seat) by changing the day to get maximum participation, I will do so. Just so we might have a bit more excess in the budget to cover the stripper, alcohol and drug expenses on the company credit card.

All of the above is obviously a joke but I hope you can all understand why the change, and there is nothing from stopping you from blinding out your stack in the GF to go play this event. :lol:

The AM satellite is by far the bigger tourney. Id rather play this than the $30 bounty.
