CAPL Open - Saturday 30th November

[Steve McCann]

The CAPL Open will take place on Saturday 30th November; this is open to all CAPL members in line with the CAPL constitution. The field will be split into two draws, one starting at 11am and the other at 1pm.

You can still enter this event for £3 up until Thursday 28th November, however I need to have the money in my possession by then for you to be entered. I will be at the Cambridge Snooker Centre on Thursday evening to collect entries; or you can leave a list of names to be entered along with the entry money in a sealed envelope behind the bar at CSC for me to collect. If you do this, then text me to let me know you have done so. (my phone number can be found in the committee section of the www.cambridgeareapoolleague.co.uk website)

You can still enter on the day for £5 but must arrive by 10.45am at the latest. We cannot hold up the tournament waiting for stragglers. I won't be taking any money on Friday 29th November, if you haven't paid by then you'll have to pay on the day at 10.45am like everyone else!

All players must register with the top table in advance of their start time, if you are running late for reasons outside of your immediate control then call me. A full listing of players by start time will appear on the website on Friday 29th November by 1pm.

If you think there is a chance that you will be late then feel free to text me (making clear who it is) on the morning to confirm you will be attending and you will be put in the draw.

Those entering on the day with be randomly put in either the 11am start or the 1pm start, and therefore may be waiting for a couple of hours to play.

The start times above are later than usual, therefore will be confirmed at 1pm on Friday along with the entry list.

There will be a plate competition open to all CAPL members which is estimated to start at 3pm.

Congratulations to Simon Rivers, 2013/14 CAPL Open Champion!!

I can bring 2 possibly 3 sets of procups if needed!

[schmack]

I dont see the availability of the procup balls being the issue

It was agreed at a recent committee meeting that all CAPL competitions should use the standard balls as default. The CAPL Open is a CAPL competition

My (personal) opinion is:

If BOTH players agree to use the procup balls, and a set is available then OK
If EITHER disagrees the default of the standard balls is maintained

if players want to use the procup balls then switching between the two sets between matches is a risk they have to take. Although consistency through a competition surely must be preferable

i had an interesting conversation with a younger member of the CAPL last week who claimed he struggles with the old balls as he has grown up (due to his young age!!) with the procup balls

Those that do not have access to the procup balls are faced with a similar disadvantage not of their own making

having said that it is Steve's show so he can do what he wants!!

[Craig Benstock]

Unfortunately I wont be able to make it tomorrow

Semi-live scoring as long as I'm here and can be bothered.

[Steve McCann]

Results in an earlier post. I was not around for some of the quarter final and semi final scores; therefore, please post if you know those results so that they can be recorded on the full website.
