Hi players and 9 ball entrants,

We have finalised the details for the 9 ball events to be run on 3rd & 4th March. This year, we will be running a standard knockout event, rather than (as in recent years) a double elimination format. The event will be held at Kaleen Bar & Bistro, from 11am both days.

We have 37 entries in the Open, and 5 in the Ladies. The plan will be to run both events at the same time, with the goal of finishing the Ladies on the day, however there is little chance of finishing the Open, so if you play well please expect to return on the Sunday. As this is the first time we've run the 9 ball event on only 4 tables, we are unsure how long it will take, however we will aim to finish by 6pm Saturday night and then resume at 11am Sunday morning.

We will use a 32 and 4 player draw, with 4 and 2 seeds respectively. Seeds in the Open are 1 - Matt Harmon, 2 - Dragan Markovic, 3 - Mick Norton and 4 - Anthony Chia. In the ladies, it's 1 - Nicole Welsh and 2 - Cindy Blackmore. The draws will be done on the day.

Format for the Open:
The prelim rounds (5 matches) - race to 5
Round 1 - race to 5
Round of 16 - race to 6
Quarter finals - race to 7
Semi finals - race to 8
Final - race to 9

Format for the Ladies:
The prelim rounds (1 match) - race to 4
Semi finals - race to 5
Final - race to 6

Cheers,

Hi again,

OK, I've managed to sort things out for the divisional playoffs this weekend, apologies for the late notice. I'm not used to having to organise such events, and am finding it takes a fair amount of time and effort, so I'm not looking forward to the trials later this year lol…

Captains - please let your players know these details tonight, as whilst I have sent this to all participating players, not all of them have an email address. In the tables below, I have put brackets around players that are unable to make it, and starred the names I am yet to hear from. Everyone else should turn up - please let me know if you are now unable to be there...

The format is simple, a round robin followed by a grand final only, so you'll have to be playing well all day to win the trophy. The round robins will be as follows (depending on how many players make it):

8 or 7 players - single frame;
6 players - single frame (twice);
5 or 4 players - best of threes;
3 players only - best of fives.
After the round robin, the top 2 players will play in the GF (best of five). If a tie occurs (eg for 2nd) then a best of 2 playoff will determine positions.

The venues and times have also been sorted, with all divisions commencing at 12 noon. The tables may or may not be open prior for a bit of practice. I expect the playoffs should conclude between 3pm and 5pm. The only thing I haven't sorted yet is an adjudicator, so if someone out there wants to help (and save me a few phone calls) please let me know…

Division 1: Saturday, 12 noon, Canberra Labor Club
Division 2: Saturday, 12 noon, Ojo Café & Bar
Division 3: Saturday, 12 noon, Kaleen Bar & Bistro
Division 4: Sunday, 12 noon, Canberra Labor Club
