State Trials: 2011 Open Singles Round 1 Groups

[UPDATED Jun 16, 14:48]

Hi all

Again – apologies for the delay in finalising these groups. The extra players I missed actually would have created a group of 10, so to alleviate this we now have a 65th seed (Phil Bryan) who will join in Round 2 with seeds 33-64.

You will notice that a few players have changed groups – however only two have actually changed their day of play. This was unavoidable in the process of adding the additional players.

Please see attached for final groups and venues.

Please find attached the groups for round 1 of the Open Singles. Venues will be confirmed in the next few days, but thought you might like to at least see when and who you were playing.

Don’t forget that the top 64 seeds have the first week off.

Play will start at 11am for all groups, with tables open from 10.30am for practice. If you are not present WHEN THE FIRST FRAME OF THE DAY IS CALLED you will be disqualified, unless you have notified either your adjudicator, myself or Matt Power PRIOR to play commencing – with a GOOD excuse. “I slept in” does not count as a good excuse.

Play will be four round robins, so for the groups of 9, this does mean 32 frames. Please be mindful of the need to shorten breaks between play by checking with your adjudicator FIRST before you go for a smoke, take a toilet break or try and squeeze in a bite to eat. You will find they are usually accomodating.

On that note, while we encourage you to purchase food from the venues that are supporting us, please be aware that a full sit down meal that takes you half an hour to eat is not fair on the other players. If you
are happy to come and go from your food then by all means order whatever you like.

Remember that at all times the adjudicator is in control of the group, so be ready to play at all times if they need you to. Adjudicators also have the final say in any close decisions or rulings that may come up through the day, so please call them over if you have any queries.

Other than that, good luck to all players this weekend in what is our largest tournament of the year. Again – venues to be confirmed in the next few days.

2011 State of Origin: Div 3 and 4 Results

Hello all,

There was more than just a magnificent Blues win last night… as the Maram also hosted the second State of Origin, but this was for the ACTEBA and included matches for Divisions 3 and 4. After a win and a draw in the first two games, the Potters were looking to put the series beyond the reach of the Guns, however that was not to happen…

Div 4: Southern Guns def Northern Potters 17-15
Div 3: Southern Guns def Northern Potters 17-15

Two great matches, just as exciting as the league. After 4 matches, with 2 remaining, the total score is Northern Potters 66, Southern Guns 62. Next week sees the Division 2 match, to be held at Fyshwick Tavern. Go Potters!

State of Origin Venues Divs 1 and 2

Venues for the deciding State of Origin matches are confirmed!

As we hopefully anticipated, our two premier venues have agreed to host two of the most important matches in the calendar, the Division 1 and Division 2 State of Origin matches.

Next week, Fyshwick Tavern will host the all important Division 2 match, while Canberra Labor Club will see the deciding Division 1 match to crown the 2011 Champion.

Every frame in this series is important as the next, be it div 6 or div 1, and the matches so far have been hotly contested. Now it is time for the big guns to have their turn. Whether your team has the lead, or if you need the State Team regulars to make up a few for you, this will be the best Eight Ball you will see outside the Top 16. In fact, given the pride that is at stake, I reckon it might just rival it…

And remember, each of these div 1 and 2 players is playing alongside you all to defeat the enemy that is the Nor – oh yeah, I forgot, impartial Tournament Director and all that…

So come and have a gander at some top quality Eight Ball, and see the Southern Guns walk away with the trophy… (oh crap I’m supposed to be impartial aren’t I… hey it’s my last season – GO THE GUNS!!!)

Results: 2011 State of Origin Div 6 and 5

Hi all,

Last night saw the first night of the State of Origin series for 2011. For the first time ever (I think), we held two matches at the same venue (the Basement) on the same night. The atmosphere was great, with loud support going all night and the matches were both very competitive. Results were:

Div 6: Northern Potters def Southern Guns 20-12
Div 5: Northern Potters drew with Southern Guns 16-16

Next week sees both divisions 3 and 4 play at the Maram (Wednesday, 8pm). If you’re not playing, why not come down to check out the action. If you are playing, make the most of it, as this series is awesome! Go Potters!

State Trials: 2011 Masters Singles

The 2011 ACT Masters Singles is being held this weekend at The Maram.

With 17 entries this year, we are continuing with the format of splitting the field into two groups of 8 and 9, with seedings based on last year’s results. Each group will play 4 round robins instead of the 3 trialled last year.

The Top 4 from each group qualify for the Top 8 to be played on the Sunday. At the end of the Top 8, the Top 4 qualifiers will receive invitations to the 2011 ACT Masters Team, while the Top 2 will play a race to 5 Final for the 2011 ACT Masters Singles Title.

Play commences at 11am on both days, with tables open from 10.30 for practice.

Good luck to all players this weekend.
