orangy SG hello! i decided to start a new topic so that we can get this discussion going. i would like to comment that what terence has suggested is really a good idea, as the pinstrikers are mainly made up of couples. this is something new from the league and playoff games that we always have. sometimes we need to have this kind of fun to liven things up. we can even get alfred and rena back for this. terence has started the ball rolling for sponsoring cash for the event (so generous ) we should also think of other prizes to add spice to the event. i think it will good if each couple will contribute some cash and let the prize secretary, (russ ) to settle the rest.

[/b]As the prize SECRETARY (yes, rub it in all of you ), I suggest that each couple contribute $10 so that we can all look forward to more prizes. I'm proposing that the $100 provided by Terence be the top prize for the winning couple, while the remaining contributions will be used to provide other prizes as well (e.g. highest game, most number of consecutive strikes, etc). I promise the prizes will not include any Liverpool FC souvenirs... Fellow Pinstrikers, please feel free to add your comments or views on the event.

Robin.G SG I'm fine with the suggestion. Maybe we can make it a yearly event during Christmas Time?? We can name it "The Christmas Roll" or something like that....saw Victor's having such tournament during Christmas period.

[/b]Might be difficult to fix at Christmas, as it might clash with our league schedule. Of course, we could just make an exception. I guess that's the Competition Director's call.
Shadow_R SG Where did our Competition Director go to?? VHK, your comments? Could you also confirm if this will take place before, after, or during the league break?
VisioHack SG Yes i am here.......First of all........if there are no objections from anyone, I would like to make it a quarterly event just the same as the league and championship.Reasons? So that friends like rick and jasmine, alfred and rena can have a get together session which i think 3 months once sound a good duration. Moreover for associate members like Kai and Evelyn and other new upcoming members(who bowl frequently), there is something for them to look forward to and also to keep the engine running after the first participation. I m sure everyone feel that the "Pinstrikers championship" schedule is nicely even out throughout the year and hence I would like have the "couple championship" to be the same. Mean while, I am trying to plan for other events like 9-pin tap tournament, skin competition etc etc to make the work year for "Pinstrikers team", a more interesting and memorable one and also to make it possible for all levels of bowlers to find it comfortable and welcome to join "Pinstrikers" even if they are not hardcore bowlers.
bara_cuda SG Just to confirm, by saying that Rick, Jasmine, Alfred and Rena is invited, that would mean that this competition will be open to all?Meaning that they don't even have to be a social member? I personally do not mind if it is so. In this way, we will have both "open" and "closed" competitions. However, I doubt they will be interested.
Shadow_R SG Well, we can just invite them... VHK, so when exactly are you proposing the competition to be?? Must start to collect money dah.... Hmmmm.....Or should that be the treasurer's job???
VisioHack SG Its opened only to all of Social, Associate and competitive members. As long as one of the couple is a members of "Pinstrikers". E.g Lets say we have a new Guy (Daniel) who joined "Pinstrikers" in whichever level of membership and not his girlfriend. So in order to join the "couple competition", he must have his girlfriend to team up with him. So Daniel is allow to get his girlfriend to bowl with him only for the "couple competition even if she is not a member of any sort. It is not opened to public. Reference to Shadow question, I would propose the competition to be held the immediate following week at the end of the season. Then a week break before the "Pinstrikers championship" take place. The "Couple tag-Team Competition" is also a good way to end the season while both couple can interact and bowl together unlike normal days when the guys and gals bowled separately. Regarding the prize money......As this is the first opening of the new "Couple tag-team Competition", I will be sponsoring a prize money of $100. How will the money be allocated to what kind of prizes should be discussed between the Prize Secretary and the treasurer. If Prize Secretary feel that $100 is not quite enough, then treasurer may collect more from the members as required. Its all in the hand of the Prize Secretary to decide if the treasurer need to collect more money.
Shadow_R SG Hmmm... Actually I have a few concerns regarding the prizes... Best if we discuss this on Sat or Sun...
Shadow_R SG Ok, based on our last discussion on the prizes, the following have been decided: a. Apart from Terence's generous contribution of $100, all participating couple (less Terence and Ivy) will contribute an additional $10 for the prizes. b. The top prize will be given to the couple with the highest total score. c. There will also be a prize for the couple with the most number of consecutive spares. d. Tokens of $5 will be given to every couple who achieve a score of 180 pinfalls and above in one game. While I'll be looking out for the prizes in the next couple of weeks, feel free to give your suggestions, if any.
Shadow_R SG Treasurer, It'll be good if you could pass me the cash for the prizes this Sunday. Will need some time to look for the prizes.
Robin.G SG Brothers, I think we missed out on something.....Who is notifying and inviting the other couples. I dun think even Troy and Evelyn knows about it. Cos' if they are keen, then we will collect $10/- from each couple. That goes the same for the remaining couple like Alfred/Rena & Rick/Jasmine. More people more fun, wat do you guys think?? Currently, I only have $130/- from the 4 of us.

Anyway, I believe troy was informed by terence last sunday and I seriously think that rick will not be interested.
VisioHack SG Yes….troy and evelyn do know abt the couple competition. U can collect the money from him…..
Robin.G SG Me not brilliant. I dun have the contact nos of Alfred and Rick. Be good if Baracuda can call your Best friend and also invite Rick. I will collect the money from Troy this Sun.

I will collect the money from Troy this Sun. [/b]We can all tell Alfred this sun and I would like to repeat myself again, I don't think Rick will be interested. Jasmine doesn't bowl and I can't remember when was the last time Rick bowled. Do you seriously think Rick will pay ten dollars to join a competition like this?
