Hi All,
The Champion of Champions tournament starts on Wednesday 11 November and will run for 4 weeks. This tournament is for all grand final winners from the 2015 Summer and Winter seasons, plus a team representing the ACTEBA juniors.
The teams that have qualified are the Embalmers, Schroomptons, Patriots, DOTS, Eagles, Avengers, Motley Cues, Whalers, Chickenbones and the ACTEBA Juniors.
A draw for the tournament, with venues, will be posted shortly. Normal starting time of 8.00 pm.
Please note that players eligibility rules were amended at a recent Captain’s meeting. Teams can only field players who have been registered to them in 2015. Additionally, competing teams must have at least 4 members of their victorious team included. No other substitutes are allowed.
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.
Watch this space for more details to be posted soon.

Vice-President ACTEBA
