State Trials: 2010 Masters Singles Round 1 Results

Today saw the first round of the 2010 Masters Singles at The Maram. With the field split into 2 groups this year, it would leave the Top 4 from each group to play tomorrow in a battle for the 4 spots in the 2010 ACT Masters Team.

Group One included the defending champion, Tolly Auva’a, three time runner up Ted Mallowes and 2006 runner up Neil Whitbread. But Group Two held the advantage with triple champion Jack Dehm, double champion Rolf Bandte, 2008 champion Kev Harrow and 2007 champion Pete Smith. Despite this, Mongrel entered Group One as the rookie, joining Vince Wood in the “juniors” category. Continue reading

Results: 2010 Winter Round 2

Hi all,

Results are below and attached, but given so many of you are starting to ask about the Open Doubles event, I thought I’d advise everyone of the format we’re going with for this year. This is a bit of a change from previous years, and a bit more cut-throat, but this is mainly due to the record high number of teams… 82 of them!

Round 1 – 7/8 Aug: Top 2 seeds (Anthony Chia & Colin Gamble and Michael Hazilias & Rony Sood) have a bye; leaving 10 groups of 8 teams, playing a full round robin 3 times. Each team (assuming everyone turns up) will get 21 frames. The top 3 teams progress to round 2.

Round 2 – 14/15 Aug: Top 2 seeds join 30 qualifiers, leaving 4 groups of 8 teams, playing a full round robin 3 times, with the top 3 teams progressing to round 3. Each team should get 21 frames.

Round 3 – 22/23 Aug: Top 12 (and final) over 2 days. Full round robin 3 times, playing two rounds on the Sat and one on the Sun, with the top 3 teams making the playoff. Team that qualifies 1st is automatically into the final, with 2nd playing 3rd and the winner playing 1st in the state doubles final.

Open Singles spots – a reminder that anyone that made the top 16 in the Open state selection trials and was subsequently offerred a spot in the Singles event at the National Championships needs to confirm whether they are going to go… ASAP.

And now for the results (last weeks incorrect result between the Jets and the Demons has been amended): Continue reading

Nationals: Open Singles positions

State of Origin 2010 Final Results

Southern Guns Win 2010 State of Origin Series!

Last night saw the conclusion of the State of Origin series for 2010, with the Division 1 match. The Guns went in with a four frame lead, but with two very strong teams the overall winner could have been either side.

All matches have been close this year, but this topped it. Round by round scores were 4-4, 8-8, 12-12.

Going into the fourth round the Guns only needed to win three frames to win the series. The Potters came in firing and won the first three frames, making it very tense in the Guns camp. The Guns fired back and won four of the next five frames. Potters won the final frame to end the match with a 16-16 draw.

Special mention to Edmund Chen and Michael Hazilias from the Northern Potters who both shot 4/4.

So, after 160 frames over five divisions, the final score is Southern Guns 82 – Northern Potters 78. The Guns get the State of Origin shield back after a two year break.

Congratulations to all the players for a very competitive series, and thank you to Chisholm Tavern, Labor Club, Ojo Cafe and Bar, Fyshwick Tavern and The Maram for hosting the matches.
