Hi players and 9 ball entrants,
We have finalised the details for the 9 ball events to be run on 3rd & 4th March. This year, we will be running a standard knockout event, rather than (as in recent years) a double elimination format. The event will be held at Kaleen Bar & Bistro, from 11am both days.
We have 37 entries in the Open, and 5 in the Ladies. The plan will be to run both events at the same time, with the goal of finishing the Ladies on the day, however there is little chance of finishing the Open, so if you play well please expect to return on the Sunday. As this is the first time we’ve run the 9 ball event on only 4 tables, we are unsure how long it will take, however we will aim to finish by 6pm Saturday night and then resume at 11am Sunday morning.
We will use a 32 and 4 player draw, with 4 and 2 seeds respectively. Seeds in the Open are 1 – Matt Harmon, 2 – Dragan Markovic, 3 – Mick Norton and 4 – Anthony Chia. In the ladies, it’s 1 – Nicole Welsh and 2 – Cindy Blackmore. The draws will be done on the day.
Format for the Open:
The prelim rounds (5 matches) – race to 5
Round 1 – race to 5
Round of 16 – race to 6
Quarter finals – race to 7
Semi finals – race to 8
Final – race to 9
Format for the Ladies:
The prelim rounds (1 match) – race to 4
Semi finals – race to 5
Final – race to 6
Cheers,
