BWPPA STORMS INTO 2016 WITH EXCITING NEW FORMAT
All wheelchair cue-sport players invited to compete as the BWPPA 2016 Season begins.
We will be introducing a new group format this season, which will mean more pool for all players, and a new fee and prize money system, which will mean more of the field, will receive prize money (75% of the field in a 16 man event will receive prize money)
The revised format will be (for example)
4 groups of 4 players (based on 16 entrants)
Each group will have a player from the rankings from each section of the ranking list.
e.g.
1-4
5-8
9-12
13-16
All drawn manually then entered into the group spreadsheet kindly developed by Lee Rigby.
Each player gets 3 matches on Saturday at specific times (race to 7)
e.g.
10:00
12:00
14:30
Allowing all players to break for lunch, and know their approximate match start times (please be in venue 15 minutes before scheduled start)
8 qualifiers to main QF's (winner of g1 plays runner up of g2 etc.)
8 losers to challenge QF (3rd in g1 plays 4th in g2 etc)
Group format is adaptable for fields from 10-20 players
Membership fee is £25 per year (additional fees apply for entry to European and world championships).
