Massive Massive respect to Sue she played well and deserved to be in the final. Sue took a massivbe scalp in Emma Cunningham to reach the final. Sue has alot to be proud about.
All the ladies from Cambridgeshire have a lot to be proud of. What can be said about our County Captain Carly Smith "Bloody fantastic" Carly was superb all weekend Runner up in the National Championship, Champion in Champ of Champs and a brilliant leader who is certainly going to take us ladies to the County Finals in March.
Helen Shwartz in her first Major tournament reaching the last 16 of the Nationals. Absolutely fantastic very well done and massive respect.
Me reaching the last 16 of both the Nationals and Champ of Champs.
Cambs Ladies reaching the last 16 of the National KO Cup.
Cambridgeshire should be proud of all the ladies. It may only be Girly Pool Mr Orrible but its the Girlies that are doing for Cambs. They deserve alot of Respect for what they have achieved this weekend.

well done ladies.
Gutted about the Moon going out. we played well against a very good leicester team. I take full blame for not snookering my opponent when I had 7 balls after he twitched the Black. Schoolboy error. Would have been 7-5 to us needing 8. Sorry again guys. Well done Simon for winning all 4 frames.

Following tonight's committee meeting the criteria for qualifying to play in C of C for 2009 was established. As both leagues are affiliated we are entitled to send 4 sets of teams. The Summer and Winter league winners and runners up are eligible. Along with the mens and ladies singles winners and runners up. In the event of duplication the following will apply; The Summer places are set, as this is the first league completed. Then the teams that have already qualified are taken out of the equation for qualifying from the Winter league. In the event of duplication the following order will be used; Knock out Cup winners 3rd in the league 4th in the league etc..... The same criteria will apply to singles with those that have already qualified from the Summer league taken out of the equation and semi finalists from the Winter league singles playing off if necessary. This has been set by the committee for this November's C of C. However, if players wish to change this selection policy for next year then please submit your proposal through the normal channels. The teams and individuals that have qualified will be notified in due course by Garry Browne. I hope this is clear. If not please feel free to ask for further explanations. So (as I understand it!) Moon 'A' and Mickeys 'A' qualify from the Summer League along with The Plough (3rd place, Winter League) and either the winners of Saturday's team k/o or the Run if Mickeys 'A' win the cup? Come on the Run!

If Mickey Flynns win the cup, the next in line is the Winter 4th place team. If don't enter it goes to 4th place and so on.

Why does the Cup even come into the Picture? We affiliate 2 LEAGUES, a Summer and a Winter league and their for qualify for 4 places for the Champions of Champions, 2 from each League. We do not get a place at the Champions of Champions because we run a Knockout Cup? So quite simply the winner and the runner up in the Summer League should take the first two spots, if the same 2 Teams Finnish 1 & 2 in the Winter League, then the next 2 Teams in the Winter league should take the Remaining two Winter League places, as the other Teams have already qualified for the Event. Why confuse this?

Because I don't see why you should be able to enter the CoC having finished forth in the league for the past two seasons when we can have an actual Champion (TKO Winners) going instead.

Martin The constitution which was voted in by all at the last GM ref CofC
Section 25 - Champion of Champions (CoC) Criteria
1. The Men’s and Ladies singles competition winners and runners up for each season will be entered in to the CoC event. Where entrants cannot attend, their place will be offered to the next in line for their respective competitions (3rd place, 4th place and so on). 2. The Premier league winners and runners up for each summer season will be entered in to the CoC event. Where teams cannot attend, their place will be offered to the next summer league place in line (3rd place, 4th place and so on). 3. The Premier league winners and runners up for each winter season will be entered in to the CoC event. Where teams have already qualified for CoC in the prior summer season, or cannot attend, their place will be offered firstly to the TKO winners of the winter season, and then to the next winter league place in line (3rd place, 4th place and so on).
The committee discussed this at great length & thought it would be good for the league if we could use a TKO winner to have a opportunity to go to Yarmouth firstly by checking to see if we could use the TKO and then putting it to the members who attending the meeting to vote. The constitution was out to all captains at least some 6 weeks before the GM to obtain their views & any inclusions if needed. Complaining some 6 months down the line is a bit late IMO but please submit your proposals as to any changes you may wish for this AGM & as I have said time and again people should turn up and voice their opinions at these meetings.

Lol...that's like Portsmouth winning the FA Cup and been put into the Champions League! Many teams haven't even competed in the Team Knockout because of other commitments players may have on a Sunday Evening! It's possible to Reach the Final of the Cup without playing Premiere League Team! I think you under estimate the standard of Premiere League, Finishing 4th is no mean feat, two very Strong Teams, either of which are capable of winning the Cup, have been Relegated this Season. But most importantly, the point you are missing, the 4 places for the Champions of Champions are awarded to us because we affiliate two Thursday night Pool Leagues (Summer & Winter) and 2 Teams should go from Each. Champions of Champions is nothing to do with the Team Knockout and nor should it be.

I have to say that I disagree with you on this Martin...
Firstly the FA cup does provide teams from the English Football League a route in to Europe, even if that means Cambridge Utd have may to play Juventus! It's a poor comparison anyway as the EPA do not run a secondary event to Yarmouth like the europa league.
Whether we are affiliating the CAPL as a whole or just the Thursday night league is a matter of semantics and can be argued either way.
We have spoke to the powers that be and they don't mind us doing it this way.
At least this way there is a chance for a team outside of the prem to get to Yarmouth, and if a team in Div 4 is capable of winning the TKO then why can't they go on to do us proud at Yarmouth.
It's far less elitist than closing it off to just the Prem in my opinion and adds to the prestiege of the competition.
Like Martin said, it was voted in at the last GM - and it would be nice to let it run its course for at least a few seasons and see how it goes before we change it again.

Lol...The Day that you start agreeing with me Craig, is the Day I start to worry! Its not about been elitist or adding prestige to the knockout cup! The Champions of Champions is a National Competition aimed at bringing together the Strongest Teams from All the Leagues around the Country to find the best. It is important that how ever many places we are lucky enough to have, we send the strongest Teams over the course of the Season to represent our League. Even You must agree that when judging a Teams strength, it is better to go by a League format than a knock out cup format?

Surely it was offered down to 4th place to give Monkey a better chance at qualifying for Yarmouth? No offence intended to the team in question but its the same as keeping a team in a league that they can't compete in. If we are to send our strongest teams then it should be based on the top two over the two seasons. Granted MOTM are almost guaranteed to finish top two so an extra place could be decided somehow in the event 1 or 2 teams occupy those spots.

I don't quite follow that Sav - Currently we send the top two teams from the prem, and only if they duplicate over summer/winter we send either the next prem team in line or the TKO winners (depending on circumstances).
Is that not our next strongest most viable team worth sending?
What alternative would you propose?
Reading your post it seems that we are already doing what you are saying.
