Nominations and voting for the 2012 Richard Taliaferro Sportsperson of the Year award are now closed. The winner will be announced at Presentation Night.
ATTENTION CAPTAINS!
Now that the rankings are finalised, I have begun to work out the teams and divisions for next season. Unfortunately, I have only received 29 nominations, and even though there are a few new teams, this is still eight teams less than played last season. I’m concerned that some teams may intend to play next season but have not given me any information.
If you are the captain, and you haven’t let me know what’s going on with your team next season, you should contact me straight away – email td@acteba.com.au. I don’t want any teams to miss out, but I’ll have to finalise the line up by this weekend, so this Friday 14 December is your deadline. If I don’t hear from you, then your team won’t be playing next season.
Players,
The Rankings Page has been updated with a link to the rankings as at December 2012.
News from the BSAACT:
From mid January, the billiards room at Raiders Weston will be relocating, with one less table.
Our snooker club has been authorised to offer the excess table for sale on behalf of the parent club, and any money raised through the sale will go back into improving the new billiards room.
The table is available either as:
— the table itself,
— as a package including light shade, scoreboard, wall mountable cue rack, dust cover, triangle.
— package as above, plus a set of billiards and snooker balls.
The table will be available disassembled, from the ground floor of the club, early to mid January.
For enquiries or to make an offer, I can be contacted at davidkerr [at] netspeed.com.au or on 62887931.

More news from venues.
Capital Golf Club are getting new tables and are keen to host two teams from next season. One spot still available, please contact Kathy Harmon if interested (treas [at] acteba.com.au).
The venues for the Divisional Championships have been confirmed – top 8 players please note.
Division 1 – Fyshwick Tavern
Division 2 – Ojo’s Café and Bar
Division 3 – Canberra Labor Club
Division 4 – Kaleen Bar and Bistro
Division 5 – Kaleen Bar and Bistro
Competition will begin at 11am on Saturday, and all venues except for Ojo’s should be open for practice from 10:30am. Also, players in Division 1 and 2 should be aware that Fyshwick Tavern and Ojo’s Café have functions on from 6pm, so competition will need to be finished by then.
The format will depend on how many players actually show up to play:
8 players – Two groups of 4 players have a round robin (race to 3). The two winners of the groups will play each other in a race to five final.
7 players – Single round robin (race to 2). The two players with the most wins at the end of the round robin will play each other in a race to five final.
6 players – Single round robin (race to 3). The two players with the most wins at the end of the round robin will play each other in a race to five final.
5 players or less – Single round robin (race to 4). The two players with the most wins at the end of the round robin will play each other in a race to five final.
So far I’ve had no volunteers to adjudicate – I will be running the two groups in Kaleen, so I need three people to run the other venues. It’s a pretty easy job, so if anyone has a spare few hours on Saturday, please get in touch with me as soon as possible.
Thanks, and good luck to all players.
Players,
Aaron Kaminski has sent word through that the Braddon Raiders Club are looking to host another team next season.
