Results: 2010 Winter Finals Week 3, Grand Final Draw

Hi all

While it was a disappointing end to my team’s season last night, next week proves to be an exciting finish to the Summer Competition. Once again the Embalmers and Hammerheads will battle it out for the Division One title – can the Hammerheads break the Embalmers streak of 4 straight premierships?

With two overtimes last night proving just how close the those divisions are, we also see 3 out of the 6 minor premiers miss out the Grand Finals.

Well done to the teams who bowed out last night for a good season and good luck to all the Grand Final teams.

Below are the results from last night and the venues for next week’s Grand Finals (just need to confirm one more venue). Make sure you get along to see the best teams in each division fight out what should be 6 excellent matches.

Results: 2010 Open Singles Round 1

Hi all

What an interesting weekend to kick off the largest Open Singles title race we’ve ever seen. I’ve only got records dating back 7 years of the ACTEBA’s 21, but even then 7 years ago we had 65 players enter the Open Singles title. This year we had 185!!!! That’s roughly 3 times as many and shows the commitment our members have to improving their game and strengthening the overall skill level of the association. Continue reading

Start Times for Venues:
Ojo’s Cafe and Bar – 10am

The Maram – 11am
The Basement – 11am
Kaleen Tavern – 11am

Hi all

Please find below the groups for Round One of the Open Singles, as well as the 32 seeds. You will notice that venues have not yet been added, as these will be finalised in the next few days, however I thought people might at least like to know when and who they will be playing.

With a record number of 180 entries this year, round one has been extended from the usual 16 groups to 18. The Top 4 from each group still qualify, which means qualifiers for Round Two have been increased from 64 to 72 to accommodate this as well.

The link to the spreadsheet is available by clicking through to the full article.
