[stelmagic]

The play off it is I am sure both teams feel they missed an opportunity tonight, but personally I think a play off between the best 2 performers this year is a perfect way to round off the league.

Could be a few twitches ;D

Good luck to both next week!

I know! Well played to the Romsey and the Uni...

So it went down to the final frame in both matches and both the Moon and the Run had a frame to win the league. What a great scoring system that is! and its still not been decided! Still want to change the points system?

Well played to the Run last night for playing in a sportsman-like manner all night, despite things not worth the ink on this forum.

Good luck to the moon in the play-off ...

can I suggest that as there is a possibility (certainty?) that the play-off could go to 6-6, that the committee (minus any Run or Moon representatives) decide in Tuesday's meeting how we should decide the outcome. Can I also suggest that everone goes along with the committee's decision and that no-one bothers to put any suggestions / complaints on here?

Finally, can we look into the possibility of getting 3 teams to Yarmouth from our league. With 60 teams in the league, we may be able to argue that 2 isn't enough...

Yes. because frames should count. A play-off is a joke when frames aren't taken into account. This isn't goals we are talking about. It is frames of Pool and the game is...POOL.
Plus if you were tight on frames you would get the tense scenario aswell. However if it was impossible to win ie you were 3 points in front with one to play, the Match would have been dead.

Not what I heard mate. This coming from your own team too
All part of team Pool me finks.

Seeing as CSC have the Finals night. I would like to suggest playing the play-off at The Rathmore?

I'll put it to the committee.

[shortstuff]

I have to say, regardless of whether you feel points should be awarded or not for frames, the current system for deciding tie-breaks is a bit bizarre. Why are frames not taken into account at all??

Ok, so the MOTM and the KSR have both played 18 games, and finished level on points. Next you look at matches won to try to differentiate them - both have won 14, drawn 1. The you go to the results between the teams - 7-5 both ways. However, to then say 'ok, let's have a playoff then', without even looking at the frames difference (which is still recorded on the league tables for some reason), seems very strange. MOTM and KSR have matched each other throughout the season in every statistic but one, in which the Moon have come out on top - and yet there's still going to be a playoff

Having said all this, it may be that part of the reason the KSR have had so many 7-5 wins, is that they just stopped bothering in a match once they got to 7 frames, because they knew it was pointless winning any more. Arguing over frame difference this season is a bit unfair, given that teams knew all along that frames don't count, and have probably played differently as a result.

To summarise my position, given that the above ramblings may appear self-contradictory...:

I think frame difference should be used in future to separate teams, even if the points system doesn't change. At least then it would get rid of 'dead' frames, because it would still be worth trying to build up a big frame difference. For this season though, I don't think the Moon players can argue about frame difference, since they and the KSR players knew right from the start that winning more than 7 each match made no difference.

For what its worth Ian, I completey agree with you. However, we didn't make up the rules, they were agreed by the committee/AGM. Frames should definitely come in to it (so lets leave this one shall we ? )

Ian, I'm not going to get drawn into this, suffice to say you weren't there and whatever you've heard is probably a little one-sided! (can we leave this one now too?)

its called sportsmanship

can I suggest that as there is a possibility (certainty?) that the play-off could go to 6-6, that the committee (minus any Run or Moon representatives) decide in Tuesday's meeting how we should decide the outcome. Can I also suggest that everone goes along with the committee's decision and that no-one bothers to put any suggestions / complaints on here?

3 frame play-off

honestly, why do I bother!

I'll talk to you about the pool/darts thing at the play-off or finals night if you like. I don't know when we will play the play-off but Sun and Mon are no good for us because of Team k/o and superleague. On Thurs, Simon and Sean are playing the doubles k/o, so its up to them if they are happy to play the play-off on the same night? If the doubles was moved to Sat night, then this could clash for the Uni pairing with the team k/o final ?

Any thoughts Simon?

Absolutely right Rob. It is ridiculous that frames don't come into it (but we didn't make up the rules)

Interestingly, in both our matches with the Moon, one team went 7-3 up and didn't bother about the last 2 frames ... those frames would have decided the league!

[Matt Cullen]

I can't make the doubles final on the Saturday night I'm afraid so that's not really an option - I'm already missing the Team KO final if we get there...
