Results: 2011 Summer Round 13
Hi all,
One week to go before the finals start, and the top 4 has only been decided in one division (3rd)… should be an exciting round next week! And don’t forget to bring all your scoresheets to the meeting on Monday. Below and attached are the results, cheers.

Results: 2011 Summer Round 12
Hi all,
Firstly the good news – there were no other unregistered players playing this season. Ted and myself are in the process of reconciling how many players in each team have played with how much each team paid in rego fees. If there are any issues, we will let captains know asap, but I think there might be a couple…
Next meeting – has been confirmed for Mooseheads on 2nd May. There is a lot on the agenda already, but one thing I want to point out is that we will be deciding State of Origin captains, so if you or any of your team would be interested in captaining either the North Canberra Potters, or the South Canberra Guns, come along to the meeting.
And now for the results… with only 2 rounds remaining, there is still not one division where the top 4 is determined, and Div 4 remains the tightest, with just 2 points separating 3rd and 7th. Huge 2 weeks ahead for some teams… At this early hour, there is one result not in yet for for Div 5, but given it won’t affect the finals positions (sorry N&B and Screamers) I thought I’d send this out now… (plus it gave me something to do at work at this crazy hour!)

Results: 2011 Summer Round 11
Hi all,
Before I get into the results this week, I need to confirm a few result changes to Div 5 as a result of both Neil & Bob and the All Stars playing unregistered players. Here’s what has happened:
Round 2: Neil & Bob v Balls Deep All Stars: Originally a 12 all draw remains a 12 all draw (!);
Round 3: Kickers v Neil & Bob: Originally a 13-11 win for N&B becomes a 12 all draw;
Round 4: Neil & Bob v The Maram Harlequins: Originally a 15-9 win for N&B becomes a 13-11 win for N&B;
Round 7: Neil & Bob v Mooseheads 8: Originally a 14-10 win for Mooseheads becomes a 17-7 win for the Moose.
(all other matches where an unregistered player played, they didn’t win a frame!)
This should act as a stern reminder to all teams NOT to play a new player without first contacting the Tournament Director. As for whether the same thing has happened during the last month, I will update all stats before NEXT week, so if it has we can sort it out as soon as possible.
And now for the results: With 3 weeks of the regular season remaining, there’s not one division where the top 4 is decided, although a couple are close. Amazingly, in 4th division, there’s a mere 4 points separating the top seven teams!! Continue reading
2011 ACTEBA Open Doubles Champions and Top 12 Results
2011 ACTEBA Open Doubles Champions
Bob Sifri & Edmund Chen
Congratulations to Bob and Edmund on achieving their first State Title in emphatic fashion, winning the Final 5-0 over Steve Thomas & Michael Masal. Whilst Bob is an old hand at this eight ball thing we all love, Edmund has only been in ACTEBA for a few years but is starting to leave his mark, making the State Team last year and now with a State Title to his name.

State Trials: 2011 Open Doubles Round 3 Results and Top 12 Groups
Hi all
We are nearly at the end of the 2011 Open Doubles, with only next weekend’s Top 12 still to play. Whilst Round 3 saw three fairly clear cut top 3’s, Group 3 proved incredibly tight.
Although two pairs of the six dropped back after 2 rounds, and Brent Hampton & Jason Tanaskovic had jumped clear, the remaining three pairs looked tight at 6, 6, and 5 wins at halfway. The pair on 5 managed one extra win in round 3 and they all sat on 8 frames at the end of round 3, with only 2 spots available. Incredibly, they all then shot 3 in the last round, taking one frame each off the opposing two pairs.
A three way playoff followed, but with Paul Andonaros & Soorage Ahadizad falling in the first two matches, it gave Semisi Naupoto & Nicole Welsh and Phil & Andy Bailey the final spots in next week’s top 12.
Full results and list of qualifiers for next week’s final round are attached. With 7 of the top 12 seeds remaining, it will be a tough weekend. Only 3 of last year’s Top 12 line up again this year, with Mongrel & Mick Norton, Nicole & Misi, and Peter Penfold & Peter Madden, the first two backing up from making the Top 4 in 2010, Pete and Pete being runners up in 2008. But five of the other pairs contain players from the last top 12, including defending champion Dean Welsh.

All up, it will be a great weekend of doubles, with two full round robins to be played on the Saturday, followed by a third round robin and the finals on the Sunday.
The finals format is as follows:
Round 1 race to 4
1 v 2 (winner straight to final)
3 v 4 (loser disqualified)
Preliminary Final race to 5
Loser of 1v2 v Winner of 3v4 (winner to final)
State Final race to 6
Well done to all the players who participated in this year’s Open Doubles, and good luck to our final 12 pairs this weekend.

State Trials: 2011 Open Doubles Round 3 Format Change and Updated Groups
Hi all
Due to exceptional circumstances, it has become necessary to amend the groups and format for Round 3 of the Open Doubles.
Whilst all care is usually taken to accommodate player’s preference for days of play, it is routinely observed that after Round 1 no promises can be made. After much deliberation, we finalised the groups yesterday with the knowledge that one or two pairs may be inconvenienced by their awarded day of play. Unfortunately there have been a large number of pairs who have since found they are unable to attend on the day they were scheduled.
This has left us with an unprecedented number of players withdrawing due to unavailability and creating a severe imbalance in the groups and potentially creating a Top 12 which is far removed from quality it should be. This makes it unfair on the players who are left with a full complement of players in their group and gives an unfair advantage to those with a vastly reduced group.
I accept that we have had numerous withdrawals in a group in recent years, but given the advance notice and, again, the large number of withdrawals we have this week it was decided to try and avoid this.
Matt Power and myself have spent much of the last two days attempting to accommodate the players who are unavailable, but have been unable to come to a satisfactory solution that will allow all players to participate while maintaining parity within the groups.
In the Tournament’s best interests, therefore, we have decided to amend the format of Round 3. This will now be contested in 4 groups of 6 players, with the top 3 in each group qualifying for the Top 12. It will be contested over 4 round robins, not three, so it is now 20 frames, not 21, a change of 1 frame. All groups will now be held at The Maram, two groups each day.
Please be aware that this is not a decision that we have come to lightly, nor is it our preferred format, and advice and approval was sought and received from the Core Executive before moving ahead with this action. We have also not made this amendment to appease any player or players, but felt that it was in everyone’s best interests to allow all qualifying players to participate only due to the large number it will affect.
Note that these are exceptional circumstances and it is highly unlikely that these conditions will apply again in an ACTEBA Tournament. The normal rules of no guarantees of preferred days of play after round 1 will still be enforced in future tournaments.
Please find attached the revised groups and note that no further changes will be possible under any circumstances.
