As this is the OLBG Members Cup we should ask all these gatecrashers what their OLBG username is & tell them that they wont be eligible for prize money unless they are OLBG members. Might scare a few of them off or at worst get us some new members Smile

ooh...a German called Shrimp has registered ...grade 1952....that makes him a bit of a star.....
Not putting the mockers on any of this....but you will all no doubt be aware that a lot of decent players use a computer . That makes it almost impossible to beat them over even a short (best of 1) match....let alone best of 3 Crying or Very sad

surely theres a bit of luck involved too. If I get lots of double 6s or get lucky with throws for blots it would surely swing it a bit no matter how good they are. Id say in one match you have a better change of getting lucky - over the long term luck will average and it'll come down to skill

Stricly no as we didnt put the money up - it was all Play65 - but psychological tactics might be needed against some of these ratings.

I think you would be surprised.....yes you can get a double 6 or 2.....but theres far more to it than that....its knowing what to do with the other 50 or so dice rolls that AREN'T double 6s....

Not great that there's of (now) 49 players probably less than 9 OLBG ones. With that number of possible sharks might well put others off too Crying or Very sad

Doesn't endear me to Play65 at this point in time - I know they stumped the cash up and that was cool but... Surely they could have done some password thingy?

you wouldnt believe how technically inept all these companies are. Its taken months to get a tournament at all - a password one was just too much for them

Actually I would believe that - unfortunately Laughing

I may have stumbled across some like them at work!
