2012 Divisional Championships

nospam@example.com (Matt Power) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:38:56 +1100

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
Division 5: Saturday, 12 noon, Kaleen Bar & Bistro

2011 State of Origin: Div 1 and Final Results

nospam@example.com (Matt Power) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:15:21 +1000

Hi all,

Last night, the Division 1 state of origin match was held at the Canberra Labor Club in Belconnen. Heading into the match, the score was tied up at 80 frames each, meaning whoever won the night would win the series...

A solid opening round saw the Potters lead 5-3 at the first break, a performance they matched in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to lead 15-9 with most thinking the result was now a forgone conclusion. However, the Guns rallied strongly, winning the first 4 frames of the last round to bring the score back to 15-13, before the Potters won the next 2 to clinch victory. Final score... 17-15.

A great series this year, and I think the hosting of 2 matches at the same venue on the same night was a real winner. I suspect this will happen again next year, meaning the 5 division matches will be over in 3 weeks. Bring it on I say, and GO POTTERS!

2011 Open Singles Rd 2 Results and Rd 3 groups

nospam@example.com (Chris Jones) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:14:00 +1000

[UPDATED 11:15 29/6/11: Round 3 groups available here: http://www.acteba.com.au/downloads/2011_Open_Singles_Round3_Groups.xls]

[UPDATED 21:05 28/6/11: Round 2 results attached.]

Hi all

With 4th place in all 9 groups decided by 2 frames or less (including two playoffs), it was another tight weekend of tournament Eight Ball.

An incredible 12 players notched up 20+ wins on the weekend, with Palmer Dunn hitting 24/8 to win the most frames, and Simon Wade clocking 21/7 in a group of 8 to also hit 75% for the day.

With 67 players left, this weekend sees the Top 32 seeds join the qualifiers in 8 groups (3 x 9 players and 5 x 8 players). This is where it really gets interesting as the pressure definitely gets raised about 4 notches.

For those who like my useless facts, the 36 qualifiers contain just 21 of the 35 players from the 33-65 seeds. Now, the 65th seed was ranked 76th, and of the remaining 15 qualifiers, only 6 also come from within the top 100. A further 5 are from 101-150, while 4 players are ranked outside the top 150!!!

I'll have more useless facts about the number of frames we've played so far next week...

Groups for round 3 will will be out in the morning, I was supposed to do it today but the file I sent myself at work was corrupted so here I am now doing this.

I have only sent this to the captains, as my email doesn't have the capacity to send to bulk addresses, so if you want to send it on to your team please do, but I will send to all players in the morning as well.

Please find attached the results for round 2.

2011 State of Origin: Div 2 Results

nospam@example.com (Matt Power) — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:23:05 +1000

Hi all,

Apologies for the lateness of this (almost forgot to send it!) but this is now the stuff dreams are made of... Last night saw the Guns overhaul the Potters 18-14. After the Potters smashed them in div 6, the Guns have clawed their way back with 3 wins and a draw. This means the series is all tied up at 80 frames each heading into the first division match next Wed.

So hopefully all who read this (and more) will be at the Labor Club in Belconnen, 8pm next Wed night, to see the best Canberra has to offer battle it out for the shield! Come on Guns [edit: heheh]!!!

2011 State of Origin: Div 3 and 4 Results

nospam@example.com (Matt Power) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 08:44:47 +1000

Hello all,

There was more than just a magnificent Blues win last night... as the Maram also hosted the second State of Origin, but this was for the ACTEBA and included matches for Divisions 3 and 4. After a win and a draw in the first two games, the Potters were looking to put the series beyond the reach of the Guns, however that was not to happen...

Div 4: Southern Guns def Northern Potters 17-15
Div 3: Southern Guns def Northern Potters 17-15

Two great matches, just as exciting as the league. After 4 matches, with 2 remaining, the total score is Northern Potters 66, Southern Guns 62. Next week sees the Division 2 match, to be held at Fyshwick Tavern. Go Potters!

Results: 2011 State of Origin Div 6 and 5

nospam@example.com (Matt Power) — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 09:23:05 +1000

Hi all,

Last night saw the first night of the State of Origin series for 2011. For the first time ever (I think), we held two matches at the same venue (the Basement) on the same night. The atmosphere was great, with loud support going all night and the matches were both very competitive. Results were:

Div 6: Northern Potters def Southern Guns 20-12
Div 5: Northern Potters drew with Southern Guns 16-16

Next week sees both divisions 3 and 4 play at the Maram (Wednesday, 8pm). If you're not playing, why not come down to check out the action. If you are playing, make the most of it, as this series is awesome! Go Potters!

2011 State of Origin Venues

nospam@example.com (Chris Jones) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:07:37 +1000

Hi all

Below are the State of Origin Venues for the next two weeks:

Divs 5 and 6 (Wed 8 June) - The Basement

Divs 3 and 4 (Wed 15 June) - The Maram

Divisions 1 and 2 are scheduled for two separate Wednesdays, I will have those venues confirmed shortly. Please inform all your players.

Good luck to all players, may the best team win as long as that team is the Southern Guns...

2011 9-Ball Tournament

nospam@example.com (Chris Jones) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 10:41:08 +1100

Hi all

The 9 Ball is still on this weekend at The Maram, Open on the Saturday / Sunday and Ladies on the Sunday only. Tables will be open from 10am for practice with play to start at 10.30am.

Whilst we have 12 tables at our disposal, previous years have run late into the Saturday night (We're talking 10pm here). With this in mind, be prepared to return on Sunday to complete the competition.

The format will be double elimination knockout as in previous years. We will be using the 9 ball white balls, as although we are playing on eight ball tables, the idea is to run as close to a 9 Ball game as
possible.

Any questions please call or email.

Regards

Chris Jones
