airgrinder SG Cut and paste from Power Torq's msg: Juz now Shariff approached me regarding a competition! Date : 12/1/03 Sunday : $40 for eight games For League players avg below 173. NOT! for those Ah pehs and uncles who frequent there! He BARRED them from joining. Its soley by application and our league team members who avg below 173 can consider joining it... Anyone interested can approach Uncle Shariff. CHEERS!
jae SG i'm interested too, though a bit xpensive... who else interested? more confederates will enhance the confidence of the participants...but will also result in conformity...therefore group influence is a very impt part of bowling...
harmzuay SG Jae, group influence can also lead to polarisation and groupthink. I'm keen on the tourney, though if Deamon joins we might as well fight for second place.
Power Torq SG CONFIRMATION! LEAVE APPROVED! CHEERS! Hey since so many of our own ppl are on for it...why not.....prata, lets make it our own tourney. Cheaper and more fun! CHEERS! Juz my 2cents worth?? FORUM TOURNAMENT 2003! Think abt it prata!
Power Torq SG So far....1) Jae 2) Jordan 3) Yvonne 4) Hanzz 5) Ding 6) Harmzuay 7) Hayden ( me ) Not bad....jio more ppl from oour forum??
prataman SG We can compete amongst ourselves, yes. But it won't really be "our own" tourney unless we organise it ourselves and have only our own people in it. Right?
chee35 SG spoke to shariff tonight...he said he's looking fwd to our support and to make the numbers..there will be some external bowlers, i.e. non league bowlers that he's asked to join the competition but he's ensured me that these bowlers qualify (under 173 ave..) so it's the 7 of us competing in this tourney?
Power Torq SG Prata, wat i mean is that since on the date 12/01/03,so many of us are free, we organise our our FORUM tourney somewhere else eg jackie's coz some of us tink that the classic tournament is too ex, and somemore so many games 8 games! Shack man! I believe that since there are eight who are free, i guess more ppl will want to take part too! Sorry to Classic then...
Ding SG yeah, what are the prizes like I would like to know the probable returns Not that I can win it easily (Deamon not playing Does he qualify Deamon, where are you...... ) Anyone care to enlighten Tks
Power Torq SG I tink top prize is $300 and that is provided that there are 40 participants....maybe yvonne can check it out?
prataman SG I see! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Actually, Hayden, for a prize of $300 for the winner out of 40, $40 for 8 games is actually IMO not very expensive. The prize money is "sufficient" for a tourney with players under 173 avg. With my previous calculations regarding the Jackies tourney, I will need over 40 participants to pay $30 for 6 games and then I will be able to give out $300 for just ONE prize. Which means to say only 1 prize winner. What Shariff/Classic is doing is much more than what we can hope to achieve in our tourney, since, of course, they are capable of slashing their own lane rates for themselves. I'd prefer joining the Classic one as well as organising our own. Let's give Shariff some support, he has been very friendly and helpful to Forum United. Count me in this one.
Power Torq SG Oh.... I'm game for it then.Count me in too! Freemun? WX? Quantum? Guys?? All come lah!
Power Torq SG Oh...abt the time...will confirm with Shariff on Monday. Looks like we can practically throw our whole FORUM UNITED in! Who's not confirm ifrom our team are left wif... Mage Quantum Wx Changster Come on ppl, Lets party!!!
Deamon SG Originally posted by harmzuay: Jae, group influence can also lead to [b]polarisation and groupthink. I'm keen on the tourney, though if Deamon joins we might as well fight for second place.[/b]Wah ......Harmzuay..dun say that leh, who knows u could be the susprise package on that day
