2011 - Championship Game - Preview

Bring your best cards!!!

Cue that thumpy music from 2001 - A Space Odyssey.

Then borrow from Bruce Buffer: "LAY-DEEZ & JENNELMEN, IT, IS, TIIIIIMMMMAH".

Indeed, its the Big One, the Last Game of 2011, the Tenner Game, where the cairds take a back seat and its all about bawbee's and baubles.

~ SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~

The Committee (?) is delighted to exclusively reveal that this year, for the very first time, our Showpiece Main Event of the Year has attracted sponsorship!!! Oh yes it has!!! Brilliant local firm C & FW Services Ltd have fought off fierce competition to gain the right to associate with the Legends of the Cairds that are The PPS!!! This has boosted the prize pot to new, eye-watering levels.

1st Place - Takes the Entry cash
2nd Place - £50 Amazon vouchers (unbelievable)
3rd Place - £20 Amazon vouchers (inconceivable)

And this is not all. Although we have the glorious and much sought after PPS Annual Championship Trophy to present to to the Champion Elect, C & FW Services Ltd have also commissioned a brand new trophy that will be presented to the winner of the Championship TennerGame itself.

If you weren't already wetting your pants, the excitement levels are now described on the PPS Blog as 'Flashing Red Light - Monster Game Imminent' (see below right).

Monster Game Imminent
