New charity focus

As some of you long-time poolies know, the Sons of Manitoba and its predecessor pool has an on-again, off-again charity component. Well, I've decided to bring it back for 2010!

The way it will work is this: The cost to enter the pool is $20. That gets you one team side entry and one player side entry. 1/3 of the prize pool will go to the winner of the team side, 1/3 to the winner of the player side and 1/3 to charity. This year I'm thinking KidSport, which helps low-income families pay for registration and other associated costs of their children's sports programs. Based on last year's figures, each winner would get $280 and the charity would also get $280. (This year's numbers will depend on the total number of entries).

Only two days to go until the regular season ends and the Sons of Manitoba pool begins in earnest!
