[UPDATED 21:05 28/6/11: Round 2 results attached.]
Hi all
With 4th place in all 9 groups decided by 2 frames or less (including two playoffs), it was another tight weekend of tournament Eight Ball.
An incredible 12 players notched up 20+ wins on the weekend, with Palmer Dunn hitting 24/8 to win the most frames, and Simon Wade clocking 21/7 in a group of 8 to also hit 75% for the day.
With 67 players left, this weekend sees the Top 32 seeds join the qualifiers in 8 groups (3 x 9 players and 5 x 8 players). This is where it really gets interesting as the pressure definitely gets raised about 4 notches.
For those who like my useless facts, the 36 qualifiers contain just 21 of the 35 players from the 33-65 seeds. Now, the 65th seed was ranked 76th, and of the remaining 15 qualifiers, only 6 also come from within the top 100. A further 5 are from 101-150, while 4 players are ranked outside the top 150!!!
I’ll have more useless facts about the number of frames we’ve played so far next week…
Groups for round 3 will will be out in the morning, I was supposed to do it today but the file I sent myself at work was corrupted so here I am now doing this.
I have only sent this to the captains, as my email doesn’t have the capacity to send to bulk addresses, so if you want to send it on to your team please do, but I will send to all players in the morning as well.
Please find attached the results for round 2.
