Hi all
Welcome to the 2010 ACTEBA Open Doubles Tournament. This year we have a record 82 pairs competing over three weekends for the title, starting this weekend with 10 groups of 8 pairs.
The format for round one is as follows:
Play will commence at 11am, with tables open at 10.30am, except at Kaleen Bar & Bistro, where play begins at 11.30, with tables open from 11am.
Any pair not present when the first frame of the day is called will be disqualified, except where they have contacted the adjudicator, the Tournament Director or the Assistant Tournament Director to explain their late arrival at least 15 minutes prior to the start of play. Please note that contacting another player at the venue will not be accepted unless they can speak to the people named above.
Play will consist of three round robins, for a total of 21 frames for each pair.
The Top Three will qualify for round two.
In the event of a tie for third place, a minimum of a race to 2 must be played, however the competing pairs may decide to play more frames.
Should the playoff be contested by more than two pairs, a round robin of minimum race to 2 will be contested, with the placings decided in the respective order: matches won, frames won, least frames lost. Should a tie still occur, affected pairs will recommence the playoff.
