Over the summer I'm considering running the following mini snooker league. This post is to gauge interest.
£10 registration
£5 per player per match
6, or less, players per division
4 frames per match
One of the aims of the league will be to create competitive divisions of equal standard, so players will be handicapped where necessary.
Approximate prizes of 1st £65, 2nd £40 and 3rd place playoff of £25 for positions 3,4 and 5.
Up to 2 matches per month, played in June, July, August, playoff evening early September.
Divisional prize money is not weighted and will be based on the money taken from your division. Players dropping out will directly affect the prize money in the division they drop out from.
A frame is considered 'won' as soon as the opponent needs snookers to win. The player at the table may continue their current break, after which the frame stops.
All matches to be played at CSC.

Well I was probably not going to enter this due to time restraints, but the bit about the snookers has ended my interest altogether. I think if you made it 3 snookers required it would be better.

What's wrong with playing a frame to its natural conclusion?
Are you likely to dock points from players who don't play their matches due to no earthy fault of their own too, like the pool league?

I don't think the problem is their reasons for docking points. I think the problem is that not all the players were clear on what the expectations were of them until after the event. |

I think if you made it 3 snookers required it would be better. Players will be paying a fixed fee for a match so there needs to be some limit over the length of a frame. After all, why not carry on when you need 10 snookers, it's not going to cost you any extra? I think it's unfair to ask CSC for the fixed fee without some kind of limit. The rule stated in the first post is a stab in the dark. If the general consensus is to be more generous (and CSC agree) it will be changed. I'd prefer it as a set amount of points rather than a number of fouls for the sake of keeping rules, and explanations of them, simple. I don't think the problem is their reasons for docking points. I think the problem is that not all the players were clear on what the expectations were of them until after the event. Matt, yes, players will continue to be docked points for not playing their matches on time. Contact your opponent at the start of the month, keep the text message, let the divisional secretary know if you're having problems - it's really not difficult. I agree with Craig that players weren't always clear about what was expected of them in the pool league just finished. Rules will be updated for next season to make it clear. I hope players read them, I get the feeling some of them don't even look at their fixtures, never mind the rules ... |
