This is a top quality tournament and anyone that can make it should come. The one last year was one of the best comp I have ever been to. The like of Imran and co and you have a great chance of taking them out with the handycap system. A must play in comp. And best of all with chris running the show, it runs like a well oiled machine.

On 2007-11-07 19:15 , Blackref Wrote:!!! QUOTE !!! I would say you are a 2 or 3 handicap. I probably but you on a 3. take a look at the ball difference below.
1 ball = 8 ball
2 ball = 7 ball
3 ball = 6 ball
4 ball = 5 ball
5 ball = 5 & 8 ball
6 ball = 5 & 7 ball
7 ball = 4 & 6 ball
8 ball = 4,6 & 8 ball
9 ball = 3,5 & 7 ball
Now its the ball difference between you and your opponent
i.e if you are 3 and your opponent is a 6 thats a diference of 3 balls so you give your opponent the 6 ball. He now treats the 7 ball like a 9 ball giving him two nine balls on the table. You pot the balls as normal all 9 ball rules still apply. If you were playing some one like Imran majid who is on a -1 thats a differenc of 4 balls you would get the 5 ball. Surely someone could just lie and say they can only pot 3 balls when they can really run 5 racks?what will happen if that does happen? what happens if Imran was facing someone with a 7 or 8 handicap..doers that mean they have to pot 2 balls to win?

nobody can just lie because, like me, anybody who is unknown by the tournament officials will start on a +1 handicap.
If Imran played against somebody with a +8 handicap, assuming he was -1, that would mean that if his opponent potted either the 3, 5, 7 or 9 ball then they would win the rack (except on break)

Please when you are paying by paypal can you add 60p to the total i.e. if you are paying a £10 deposit then it should be £10.60, if you are paying £30 entry fee then it should be £30.60. I know it does not sound alot but if you have 10 players not paying the 60p surcharge then it mounts up to £6 coming out of my pocket and Im sorry but im not paying players to enter into tournaments. So please do remember to pay the surcharge thanks Chris Billings. [ This message was edited by: Blackref on 2007-11-26 22:30 ]

I think handicapped comps are great when you first start playing the game as it gives you a chance to beat people of a higher standard than you. You can learn a lot from playing these kind of comps. You can't beat taking out a decent player in a level match though. I used to play an evil handicapped comp in east london and it was great fun.
