Hi all
With the 2010 Divisional Championships and 9 Ball been and gone, this weekend marked the first round of the 2011 ACTEBA Eight Ball Trials Season. While this may be my last as Tournament Director, it doesn’t make it any less exciting. Yes I know I might seem like a nerd, but having you guys and gals smashing it out to fill my spreadsheets kind of gives me… ok I am a stats nerd.
A bloody tight first round was contested this weekend, with most groups going down to the wire. One actually spilled over to a three way play off (which me as an adjudicator loves cos I get to have another beer, but unfortunately it wasn’t my group).
Unfortunately we did have a few no-shows, which is pretty confusing given players only nominated 3 weeks ago, but it made it a quicker day for those groups affected, at least.
Before you jump to the attachment to see who was awesome and who was not, I saw a Sunday pair win 12 in a row, and just as I was asking if any player (singles or doubles) had gone through a round undefeated, this pair managed to lose their last three frames. So thanks for ruining my dream, unnamed pair!!!
Next week sees the seeds join the fray, so ladies and gentlemen – you thought this week was hard, wait till these buggers hit you.
Please find below results from round one, groups for round two will be out by Tuesday morning.
