State Trials: 2011 Ladies Singles Round 1 Groups

[UPDATE]:

I missed a player in the draw for round1, so the groups have changed slightly to accommodate her.

My apologies, but everyone is still at the same venue at the same time, so hopefully this doesn’t cause any inconvenience.

Attached are the revised groups.

Coaching: Playing in the Zone

Being in “the zone” or “playing out of one’s mind” when you’re playing pool or snooker is an exhilarating stage of our play, and sometimes it’s hard to find ourselves there again. There is no interference from conscious thought, we lose ourselves in the action and continually breaking the false limits placed on our potential. I would like to get a group together and meet on a regular basis. The aim of the group is to assist players’ in their mental approach, and be the best they can be. It would only benefit players who practise SOLO regularly and are very familiar with their own games.

Results: 2011 Summer Round 14

Hi all,

After some very tense moments last night, with some teams trying their darndest to squeeze into the top 4, whilst others were desperately trying to hang onto their position and make sure they play next week, the results saw an amazing three teams make a last minute move from 5th into 4th place, being the Matildas in Div 1, Pains in Div 4 and the Uni Bombers in Div 5 (commiserations to the Snipers, Budgie Smugglers and Balls Deep All Stars). The finals start next week, with 1st playing 4th, and 2nd playing 3rd. In general, these matches will be played at the home ground of the 1st and 2nd teams, however all matches and venues will be confirmed shortly.

Please note the percentages in the ladder take into account some frame adjustments that were required due to many forfeits this season (the spreadsheet shows the ladder after round 14 before these adjustments and after, in case anyone is particularly interested).

The detailed ladder is available here:
