$20 added to the playoff pot + an additional $9 from Binienda's "dot pot" for a grand total of $885!!!!.....after the playoff players pay into the ace pool there will be $154 in the ace pool.

Congrats to Rich Bidinger on being the 2014 EASTSIDE ACE RUN LEAGUE CHAMPION!!!!

Oh wow! Look at that! $1 dollar mandatory came out of each entry for a playoff pot and no one complained! Even the players that didnt make it! No one had a hard time keeping track of it, i dont think it was even an inconvenience to hold the money until the end of the year but guess what?! It worked! What a concept not difficult to grasp!

Um... Im failing to understand what and why you are saying this, Am i missing something???

Jay B   November 2, 2014 at 2:52pm

Yea i just recently tried to explain that concept to someone and they damned the idea of making a $1 come out of reg or adding a $1 to build a playoff pot, said it wouldnt be fair to those who didnt want any part of it, if people can spend $5 on league, $5+ on side games, $10 on food, $15+ on beer a ... more

I feel it gives a rhyme and reason to getting points, and a reason to try and make the playoffs. Whoever wins our playoff is going to walk away with more money than most tourneys pay out for winning. It gives something to actually play for and strive to show up every week and do well. We ended up with nearly $900 to playoff for. But to each their own i guess

ding ding ding, pretty much what i said too

Jay B   November 2, 2014 at 5:52pm

i just find it hard to understand why anyone would feel offended enough to feel its not fair to be charged a $1 for a part of the league that gives an incentive for all the players to do better

Jay B   November 2, 2014 at 5:53pm

yea to each their own, we know it works and no one complains about it so we must be doing something right

Wont be too long before other leagues offer a playoff pot. Only a matter of time.

Jeff Bauman   November 3, 2014 at 7:51am

yea good idea!

Jay B   November 3, 2014 at 8:14am

its only a good idea if you add a $1 to reg or take $1 from the current reg, from EACH entry, if it doesnt come out of each one then the pot will be less than half of what it could be

Jeff Bauman   November 3, 2014 at 8:26am

We've been doing that since 2003

Richard Bidinger   November 3, 2014 at 7:46pm

Derek, just wanted to say thank you for doing an awesome job running the league. I'm sure that everybody appreciates it as well. Also a big thank you to all my partners who helped get me to 1ST PLACE this year. Looking forward to playoffs and winning some money with my partner Jay

Ed Carpus   November 3, 2014 at 10:35pm

Hell yeah!

Jake Schneider   November 4, 2014 at 8:20am

I'd like to say the same thing, too, Derek, about running the league, as well as the peeps who covered for you. Same thing to the partners who helped me make the playoffs - lord knows they carried me a few nights, lol. Looking forward to a fun night with some good people!
