SPOT ON SNOOKER TOURNAMENT TO BE SET AT THE SNEINTON VENUE.

Most likely will take place on the 18th October 09 1 November 2009 (Sunday). Need to take the names of all people interested to take part in the Tournament. Maximum 32 enteries........ Put your names down quick !!!!!

If we have 32 people entering, then the winner will receive £80 and then the runner up etc which will all be sorted out in the next few days.

Entery is £10 per person and you are guaranteed to have at least 2 matches (will also have plate). GET THE WORD OUT BOYZ !!

I think handicap is well worth doing, gives everyone a chance. Willie Thorne's club have regular handicap tournaments and it works very well and many people attend, especially the young lads.

Hi Steve, I may need the forms that you use for the Tournaments..... you definately cant make 18 Oct ?
Title: Re: Spot On Snooker Tournament (18/10/09)
Post by: Steve Butler on 07 October 2009
I definitely can't make the 18th Nav.  However, Wayne Martin has the spreadsheet on his PC so if he's coming I'm sure he will be more than willing to bring it with him.  Between Yourself, Wayne and Mike I'm sure you'll manage!

Wayne,

The number have gone down to around 8, thinking of moving the date forward to another time. What do you think, its best to get as many numbers as possible..

Thanks

Steve,

Thinking of moving the date forward to the 1st of Nov 09. Willie Thorne Handicap is next week, so the week after seems ok. If you can update this as some guys have dropped out. If we can get the likes of you and a few other guys then the turnout will be good, let me know if the date is good.

Thanks
Title: Re: Spot On Snooker Tournament (18/10/09)
Post by: Wayne Martin on 15 October 2009
Nav,

I think that may be better, you need more than 8 realistically or you have to go to group stages etc like we have at Eastwood.
I'm fine with the date change, suits me better.

Cheers,
Wayne

Hi,

We have spaces for the tournament, just provide us with your full name. There will be over 16 players i believe, so we may have groups of 4 and you are guaranteed 3 matches. We will decide on the day if handicaps should still be used in group stages.

Thanks

You don't have to be a member to play in this competition.  I think the club opens at 11am but I'm not 100% sure on that.

According to the latest issue of Ballsmania (http://www.mpldigital.com/ballsmania/newspaper/101), the club's phone number is 985 9226.  Is that the one you phoned?

Congratulations to Jason Stockton (-7) who played superbly in winning the Spot On Handicap.

Jason beat James Booth (+14) 3-0 in the final with breaks of 66,48 and 30.

Well done to James as well, who played exceptional during the day particularly in beating Chris Winter (-7) in the semi-final with a brilliant clearance in the deciding frame, when he was in deep trouble.

Full tournament details to follow.

Many thanks to Nav Hussain for staging and arranging a great days competition at Spot On.

Hi All, A very successfull Spot On Tournament and congratulations to Jason for winning the final against James Booth. The latter played very well against MR Winter, who just ran out of steam later on in the tournament. However, James Booth played a very solid game near the end part of the tournament.  :bravo:

Will try to hold another Tournament around early december.

Forgot to mention, thanks also to Wayne for bringing his laptop with him to sort out the draw and also the extra effort for keeping eveything running smoothly.  :bravo:

You're most welcome Wayne.  I hope you found it easy to use the spreadsheet.

Just one query, the bottom group B match between Chris Winter and Jason Stockton was shown as finishing 1-1 on the spreadsheet so I took a guess and assumed Jason won 2-1.  Was that correct?

Post by: crosswell147 on 03 November 2009
Yea thanks to steve for the report and to wayne and nav for the running of the day.

I think that match was just 1-1 steve as the group had been sorted by their final frame so didnt bother to finish it.

I'll second Wayne on congratulating James Booth on his semi final performance.  I just came back in time from drowning my sorrows after my own embarassing performance to see that clearance in the final frame under pressure, especially the blind pot on the black.  Exceptional finish James.
