Good afternoon.
The next Bother’s Bar Poker EVENT will be Sunday at 8pm UK time. It will cost $5.50 to enter. You are permitted ONE rebuy in the first hour if you deign to lose all your chips, and after an hour everyone still in is permitted to purchase additional chips. The payout structure has been modified so it’s more likely to pay out more places ($7.50! Whoo-hoo!). You are all welcome to play, make sure you’ve joined the club first.
In other news the pretty good but a bit buggy Pointless app is 69p right now.
That’s all the weather. FOR NOW.
Well they’ve come up with an interesting way to get around the timezone issues for Rising Star in the US….
The show will air live in the Eastern, Central, and Mountain timezones. In the Pacific time zone, they will show the taped East Coast show with live cut-ins to the studio. The West Coast people can still vote- and they will see both the voting the Eastern zones did and a new bar for the West Coast votes- and if the act reaches the qualifying percentage in EITHER zone, they advance (and if it happens that the West Coast votes in an act that missed in the East, they can show the reactions). So two bites of the cherry basically, and it’s a nice workaround I think…
Interesting but something feels a bit off and I can’t exactly out my finger on what. I think the lack of immediacy is going to count against it and this feels like a bit if a bodge solution.
