Chisolm Tavern DOTS – 2014 Champions of Champions

Hi All,

The final of the 2014 Champion of Champions Tournament was held on Wednesday night at the Fyshwick Tavern, and congratulations to the Chisolm Tavern DOTS who emerged as convincing winners over Ojo’s KAOS by 15 frames to 5. Off the stick it was 11-5 and with the 4 frame advantage to the DOTS the teams called a halt once a KAOS victory became impossible.

A very good performance by the 4th division summer premiers against a top 2nd division side and proof, if needed, that the gap between divisions is getting smaller all the time.

Congratulations to all the teams that qualified for this year’s tournament and thanks to players and spectators for making it a success. A big thanks also to all the venues that hosted matches – Kaleen Bar & Bistro, Chisolm Tavern, The Basement and Fyshwick Tavern.

Once again, the final result

Chisolm Tavern DOTS 15 def Ojo’s KAOS 5

That wraps up the 2014 ACTEBA match program, thanks to all involved for making it a success. The 2015 summer season kicks off in January, and Tournament Director Matt Harmon has asked me to remind you that team nominations are due by next Monday’s Captain’s meeting.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Hi All,

The semi finals of the Champion of Champions tournament were held this week. On Tuesday night the Chisolm Tavern DOTS met the Mooseheads Rangers with the Rangers keen to reverse some recent losses to the DOTS. Unfortunately for them it wasn’t to be, with the DOTS prevailing with a 16 – 9 victory. Last night in a game destined to cause debate Ojo’s KAOS scraped in over the Labor Club Toros 15 – 14.

So we’re set for what I think will be an intriguing grand final next week at the Fyshwick Tavern, representing 4th Division the very experienced DOTS side with a 4 frame headstart over the wily 2nd Division KAOS team.

Summing up:

DOTS 16 def Rangers 9
KAOS 15 def Toros 14

Grand final Wednesday 26 November 2014, Fyshwick Tavern, breaking at 8.00pm

Chisolm Tavern DOTS (+4) vs Ojo’s KAOS

Good luck to both teams, I’ll be there, hope to see many others as well.

Cheers

Hi all,

Firstly apologies for getting a little mixed up last week – Neil & Bob did in fact have a +2 frame handicap and Rangers advantage was +4 not +6. Thankfully those playing knew better than me…

And the Rangers used their advantage to record a 16 – 13 win over the DV8’s in what was obviously a tight match at Chisolm Tavern. Over at Fyshwick the Dots beat Neil & Bob 17 – 10, and in the battle of the 1st division premiers at The Basement the Toros recorded a convincing 13 – 8 win over the Hammerheads, looks like they applied the mercy rule once the game was decided.

Just four teams left, next weeks matches are:

Dots vs Rangers at the Basement, both 4th div premiers so no handicaps

Toros vs KAOS at Fyshwick Tavern, KAOS with a +4 advantage

Good luck, and don’t forget to send your results straight to me on 0409471691 rather than Matt Harmon (text messages only – I don’t have a smartphone).

Cheers

Last Saturday ACTEBA held the 2014 Divisional Championships. It was good to see at least 5 players participate in each division, which is a great improvement on previous years.

Congratulation to all the Winners.

Better late than never, I haven’t had the chance to send out results from last weekends Adjudicators Comp.

There was 18 players and we ran a race to 22 handicapped comp as in format below.

It was a fun day and I would like to congratulate Ann Moimoi for taking out 1st prize.

The prize money was paid down to 4th spot. Jo Lowry picked up 2nd, Paul Berger 3rd and Kathy Harmon 4th.

Once again, a huge thanks to everyone that helped out and adjudicated during the 2014 trials. I hope to have a similar incentive for players during next years trials.

Hi all,

The first matches of the Champion of Champions tournament were held last night. Congratulations to the winners, who go on to the next round.
Scores were:

Basement DV8’s 15
Fyshwick Tavern Avengers 12

Chisholm Tavern Dots 20
Junior AllStars 9

Fyshwick Tavern Hammerheads 17
Civic Pub Felt Rippers 14

Ojo’s KAOS 19
Burns Club Nevilles 12

Next weeks matchups & venues:

Mooseheads Rangers vs The Basement DV8’s at Chisholm Tavern

Kambah Inn Neil & Bob vs Chisholm Tavern Dots at Fyshwick Tavern

Labor Club Toros vs Fyshwick Tavern Hammerheads at The Basement

Ojo’s KAOS have a bye.

All the higher division teams won despite their handicaps. Can Mooseheads reverse the trend and use their 6 frame advantage to upset the DV8’s? Their game is the only one with a handicap, the other two being evenly matched with both Div 1 and Div 4 champions facing each other. Spectators always welcome, and the more the merrier.

Cheers

[UPDATED 2 November: The final venue has been confirmed. See below.]

Link to Champion of Champions Scoresheet:

http://www.acteba.com.au/downloads/cofc_blank_scoresheet.xls

The Champion of Champions tournament starts on Wednesday 5 November. This tournament is for all grand final winners from the 2014 Summer and Winter seasons, plus a team representing the ACTEBA juniors. A draw for the tournament is posted below with venues (one venue to be advised). Normal starting time of 8.00 pm.

Competing teams must have at least 4 members of their victorious team included. Up to 4 substitute team members may be included but only if they have played for the competing team in the Winter Season just completed, or come from a team within the same division.

This is a handicapped knockout competition of the usual 24 frames, plus one frame of doubles to be played in between rounds two and three. The handicap is applied at the end of the game, not the start.

Handicaps are as follows:

1st Div +0
2nd Div +4
3rd Div +6
4th Div +8
5th Div +10
Juniors +10

At the completion of all 25 frames, the difference between the 2 teams handicap is added to the lower division’s team score. (For example, if a 1st Div team beat a 3rd Div team 14-11, the final score would be 14-17 to the 3rd Div team after adding the 6 handicap points). Winners play on the next week, losers are out.

This competition is expected to be played in a friendly manner and it is important that all 25 frames are played as it gives lower ranked teams and players the rare opportunity to play against (and learn from) the top rankers. This obviously benefits the whole Association.

Full rules can be found under Docs/Forms on the website.

Matches scheduled for 5 November are:

Basement DV8’s vs Fyshwick Tavern Avengers
Venue: Kaleen Tavern

Juniors AllStars vs Chisholm Tavern DOTS
Venue: Fyshwick Tavern

Civic Pub Felt Rippers vs Fyshwick Tavern Hammerheads
Venue: The Basement

Ojo’s KAOS vs Burns Club Nevilles (note that this is technically a ‘week 2’ match, both teams will have a bye in the second week)
Venue: Fyshwick Tavern

Mooseheads Rangers, Kambah Inn Neil n Bob and Labor Club Toros all have a bye in the first week.

Please send results of matches to me on 0409471691.

Cheers and good luck to all, hope you enjoy it. Any queries contact me on the number above.
