Be Sure to log on early to this Monday's ZOOM meeting when we introduce a new FUN activity - JoKeRs WiLd To throw some FUN into our Zoom meetings, this Monday we will have a trial run of Jokers Wild at the start of the meeting and then you then be asked if you wish to be a participant. The real game will be played at the conclusion of each weeks meeting , commencing this week. How Does it Work ? For the sake of this exercise lets assume 25 members agree to play at $2 per week. This gives a weekly pool of $50 per week. Each week $25 will go towards the JACKPOT and $25 will go towards 2 x bottles of wine as consolation prizes. The Play: A member's name is drawn from the hat. If that member is a paid up player they get to pick a card on the board twice. The card is unpinned and turned over. If it is the Joker they win the Jackpot - $25 for week one and then climbs in $25 increments from there. The player gets a second chance if the first card fails. If the Joker is not drawn the prize jackpots to next week. That player's name returns to the hat after the wine draws. The opportunity is there to be drawn out each week. The cards chosen remain face out on the board so as they are out of play next week. Two further names are drawn from the hat and these players win bottles of wine (consolation prizes). Next week the Jackpot has risen to $50. It will take around 25 goes (25 weeks) if the Jackpot fails to go off until the last card, however it should go off well before this. If the Jackpot does not go off by the 5th night we can cap the Jackpot at say $125 and keep drawing out names that night until someone picks the Joker. If we get more than 25 players then I suggest more consolation prizes otherwise the Jackpot pool may get out of hand. The weekly prize pool to be settled once we know how many players are in. You can have multiple entries if you wish - these will need to have identifying name differences, eg. your wife or nickname. You do not have to be present at the Zoom meeting to win. If you are not at the meeting The Game Coordinator (me??) will nominate another member to make the card draws on behalf of the missing player. Missing players are also eligible to win the wine. How to enter: Players must commit to a minimum of 5 weeks and send the Treasurer $10. (can be deposited to Club Bank Account) If the Jackpot hasn't been won after 5 weeks then another $10 commitment is required to continue playing. At this point players may drop out but new entrants cannot join. The only time new entrants can join is after a Jackpot payout has occurred. New entrants would then pay an adjusted amount to align with the $10 weeks. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call. Neil Henderson - Master of Fun ________________ |
