The Champion of Champions tournament starts on Wednesday 5 November. This tournament is for all grand final winners from the 2014 Summer and Winter seasons, plus a team representing the ACTEBA juniors. A draw for the tournament is posted below with venues (one venue to be advised). Normal starting time of 8.00 pm.
Competing teams must have at least 4 members of their victorious team included. Up to 4 substitute team members may be included but only if they have played for the competing team in the Winter Season just completed, or come from a team within the same division.
This is a handicapped knockout competition of the usual 24 frames, plus one frame of doubles to be played in between rounds two and three. The handicap is applied at the end of the game, not the start.
Handicaps are as follows:
1st Div +0
2nd Div +4
3rd Div +6
4th Div +8
5th Div +10
Juniors +10
At the completion of all 25 frames, the difference between the 2 teams handicap is added to the lower division’s team score. (For example, if a 1st Div team beat a 3rd Div team 14-11, the final score would be 14-17 to the 3rd Div team after adding the 6 handicap points). Winners play on the next week, losers are out.
This competition is expected to be played in a friendly manner and it is important that all 25 frames are played as it gives lower ranked teams and players the rare opportunity to play against (and learn from) the top rankers. This obviously benefits the whole Association.
Full rules can be found under Docs/Forms on the website.
