[UPDATED Jun 16, 14:48]
Hi all
Again – apologies for the delay in finalising these groups. The extra players I missed actually would have created a group of 10, so to alleviate this we now have a 65th seed (Phil Bryan) who will join in Round 2 with seeds 33-64.
You will notice that a few players have changed groups – however only two have actually changed their day of play. This was unavoidable in the process of adding the additional players.
Please see attached for final groups and venues.

Please find attached the groups for round 1 of the Open Singles. Venues will be confirmed in the next few days, but thought you might like to at least see when and who you were playing.
Don’t forget that the top 64 seeds have the first week off.
Play will start at 11am for all groups, with tables open from 10.30am for practice. If you are not present WHEN THE FIRST FRAME OF THE DAY IS CALLED you will be disqualified, unless you have notified either your adjudicator, myself or Matt Power PRIOR to play commencing – with a GOOD excuse. “I slept in” does not count as a good excuse.
Play will be four round robins, so for the groups of 9, this does mean 32 frames. Please be mindful of the need to shorten breaks between play by checking with your adjudicator FIRST before you go for a smoke, take a toilet break or try and squeeze in a bite to eat. You will find they are usually accomodating.
On that note, while we encourage you to purchase food from the venues that are supporting us, please be aware that a full sit down meal that takes you half an hour to eat is not fair on the other players. If you
are happy to come and go from your food then by all means order whatever you like.
Remember that at all times the adjudicator is in control of the group, so be ready to play at all times if they need you to. Adjudicators also have the final say in any close decisions or rulings that may come up through the day, so please call them over if you have any queries.
Other than that, good luck to all players this weekend in what is our largest tournament of the year. Again – venues to be confirmed in the next few days.
