Royal Rumble Pool: 2023! - Page 7 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

It looks like you split it in 2021. (I voted for the opposite that time too.) https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...53/index2.html

Since that's the precedent it seems fairest to rule that way again, there is no difference between the situations that I can see.

Sheesh yeah good call this happened in 2021 with Edge and Orton, and the same discussions came out.

Perhaps going forward I have to make the rules more clear (or WWE could stop being *******s by having 1 and 2 go the distance), but I have to rule the same way I ruled in 2021.

The prize is for 'longest time survived' in the match and not 'last longer', so the prize is going to be split for that market.

Me? Definitely not this year. My numbers were worthless this time around, didn't even get a meaningful sweat with them.

Hey guys:

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to pass on running this years pool. Aside from being generally more busy, I have an obligation the night of the rumble this year and I can't watch it live.

Just too much work for me to not get to enjoy the sweat with everyone, and if I want to eventually watch it unspoiled that would involve delayed payouts: I just don't feel comfortable running it that way.

I know everyone loves this pool, hopefully someone the group trusts steps up and keeps it alive. I'm willing to help/consult (and participate!) in any way, lmk how I can help.

Sorry.

Thanks for your years of service redirk, was fun! I'll be working with the Rumble on in the background so wont be able to run either.

If someone could step up would be brilliant, its a fun pool!

I would start soon if you're planning to do this. It was started on 1.17 last year and had trouble filling, even with friends of redirkulous joining. Just a thought.
