Young Upstarts versus Old Farts!!!!!

[theordinaryboy]

How about a 2+2 sit and go based on the european versus america mould but with age say for example,

25 or 30 and under versus 30+

obviously the boundaries can easily be moved depending on who wants to play etc.... but in essence what do people think of this idea???

[Rolen]

Great, just do it on party cause I don't have a stars account!!!

[gasgod]

How would you verify eligibility?

You would ask people how old they were. Pretty simple.

Most people here are unwilling to disclose their real names. I thought the same would apply to their ages, but maybe I'm wrong.

i dont have a stars account either altho it wouldnt be too much hassle to get one i'd probably only play 2+2 games there to be honest, even tho i havent played any before.

[syka16]

Cool. I'm colluding with the youngsters on the bubble, gramps.

[theordinaryboy]

well you could say anyone who wants to play has to say whether they are in the 30 or under column or 30+ therefore your not giving too much away by your age.

If people dont want to say how old they are then they just wont play its only a friendly little tourney.

With regards to verifying it i'd pity anyone who lied about how old they are

why would they?

[Irieguy]

The only problem is that there are only two of us on 2+2 older than 35... and skipperbob can't play worth a lick.

Make it 3, but I doubt I could rate much higher than skipperbob.

If you move it down to 34, then I can play too.
But I suck, so keeping me on the youngster team is probably in your best interest.

This is an interesting idea but I don't think there is nearly enough talent on this board over 30. Youd have to make the cut off like 22 or something for the old guys to even have a chance...it could be the legals vs minors!!

As for skipperbobs play, I've only ever played one SNG with him and he decided to give me all his chips in level one.

"it could be the legals vs minors!!"

Heh yeh I'm 21 but middle aged /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Oh good, I was starting to think I'm the oldest one here at 39. I'll play for the "old guys" if it's at the right time and day.

No I'm 20 (recently) and for the record I could pick a team of people on this board under 25 and we would demolish any and all oncomers...

Who is upset that he hasnt gotten the skipper to respond yet.

[theordinaryboy]

Ok so the concensus is that the young upstarts have a monopoly over 2+2 fair enough, how about 25 and under versus 25+ altho that is a bit harsh to call a 26yr old an old fart!!!

If everyone who wants a bit of age rivalry tournament fun pm's me saying whether they would be in the 25 or under group or 25+ we can get an idea of numbers etc..

If the groups are biased to the youngsters then maybe we'd drop the limit to say 22 or something!?

Count me in with the old farts -- I'm also geezin' at 39.

[codewarrior]

I'm also 34. I'll do it, I guess.

[raptor517]

hmm, this could be interesting. some of us young guns against some of you old farts.. i can think of quite a few solid in each aspect. might be worth getting into.. maybe making a few private tournaments or something on stars. oh the possibilites.. 3uo

[pooh74]

I think 25+ would win...no offense. (my best attempt at sh|t talkin).

It would depend on if all the best 25 and overs showed up...

p

[raptor517]

bwahahahahahhaa. it would be a pretty good fight i think /images/graemlins/wink.gif 3uo

[pooh74]

Make it a nice round 30...pooh hates kids...but he does like referring to himself in the 3rd person.

[codewarrior]

The old farts would win, and it wouldn't be close.

[Phil Van Sexton]

Also 34.

I vote for "34 vs everyone else".

Here is the how old are you post (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=singletable&Number=1661182 ).

[raptor517]

i beg to differ. we would give the old farts a run for their money. 3uo

[DrPhysic]

SkipperBob and I would have to flip for captain of the "ol'farts". But he would win. He's a year older than I am.

You're not gonna start this too late are you? I haveta take my geritol and viagra at 8.

We? If yer representative of the youngun's, us old farts will be just fine.

Matter of fact, if not fer Gig and ZJ, I could'nt see it even being close...

[raptor517]

that cut me deep dali, that cut me real deep. 3uo

[theordinaryboy]

hey there

didnt get many responses for the battle between the kids and o.a.p's

still think its a good idea though anyone up for it tonight at 7pm est on stars

Altho i cant create a table myself so would need someone to host it.

Anyone interested either in playing or hosting just reply to this thread saying which team youths (25 and under) or grandad's (26+) you are playing for

hopefully we'll get enough

cheers

[pooh74]

ill be around at 7pm...

handle is same as here on stars. Im +25

[codewarrior]

You need to plan for a couple of weeks to pull something like this together.
