Referee provided for the final, which will be best of 9.
Optional high break sweep, entry £5
Final will be recorded and posted on You Tube
Please, no football shirts.
You may bring your own food and drink. What a refreshing change!
You may arrive at 10.30am for some practice but as we are a 2 table venue and there will be six players per day we suggest a bit of co-operation - or failing that a quick arm wrestle to decide who gets to warm up first.
Some food for thought - if 24 players enter, first prize is £840 and runner up gets £240. Losing a semi and getting nothing is harsh; but to attract players a rather big carrot is required, and anyway a guaranteed 15 frames in top match conditions against some tough opposition is not something to be sniffed at if you are serious about testing yourself.
