Players/Captains,
Please be aware that due to unforeseen circumstances, the October Captains Meeting has been moved to The Maram.
The Meeting will start at 7pm on October 11. Also, if you’re keen, hang around afterwards to watch the ACT Open team do battle with the ACT Barbarians, in the series decider. This is the Open team’s last chance to get their game faces on before the Nationals, so please cheer them on and get them hyped for a successful 2010 campaign!
1. No meeting next week: Given Monday is a public holiday, there is no captains meeting… it has been postponed to the following Monday, 11th October. Venue is still to be confirmed.
2. Thanks everyone for sending in your results. This week was a record… 35 our of the 36 teams that played sent in their results on time. Keep it up!
3. Results below and attached… Continue reading
Errors in your performance when playing snooker or pool usually takes place in your mind before they express themselves in action. Our brain is in constant dialogue which can create limitations or inner obstacles to perform to our best. These can include lack of self confidence, fear, trying too hard, frustration, anger, boredom, expectations, self condemnation.
First thing first… is trusting your body.
Self 1 constantly tells Self 2 everything there is to know about pool – how to cue, stand, etc. Self 2 is the silent doer. And yet Self 1 does not trust Self 2 very much and takes things into it’s own hands – like moving the body on the shot, tensing up and making things happen how it thinks it should. Since all the fluidity and timing is gone by now, you usually mis-hit the shot and Self 1 gets more of a chance to degrade Self 2. The first skill for our mind will be “letting it happen”.
More tips next week.
Cheers, Theresa
(Head Coach ACTEBA)

Hi all,
Firstly, an update on the 9 ball competitions coming up. It will be played at the Maram on the weekend of the 11th and 12th of September, with the Open event on the Saturday and the Ladies event on the Sunday. Start times will be confirmed when we finalise entry numbers (I’ll advise with next week’s results).
Open 9 Ball – 64 player draw double elimination – 40 entries to date – 21 spots remain open
Ladies 9 Ball – 8 or 16 player draw (depending on numbers) double elimination – 8 entries to date
Late entries are welcome, until the remaining spots are filled, but you must contact either Chris Jones (0403 545 619) or myself (0438 214 008) before 8pm Wednesday 8th. We will let you pay the fees ($15) on the day, but you won’t be allowed to play if you have not paid. All players must check in with the adjudicator upon arrival to complete the random draw. All seeds for the Open event (8 of ’em) receive a bye in round one where possible, depending on entries.
And now, for the results… Continue reading
