BWPPA HEADS BACK TO BARNSLEY FOR EVENT 2.
BWPPA Ranking Event No 2.–Simonis Northern 9-Ball Open 2016
All wheelchair cue-sport players invited to compete as the BWPPA 2015 Season continues.
The 2016 tour commenced at the Pool Academy at Stoke Mandeville at Event 1 as Fred Dinsmore took the GNO Southern 9 Ball open with a win over Daniel Lee.
OVERVIEW
We will be introducing a new group format this season (for fields below 10 we will do Double Elim), 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).
In order to speed up the events the players meeting will be at 9:30 draw at 9:45, start of play will be 10am
For further enjoyment there will be other events on the program such as a Friday night knockout and events on the Saturday night. (tbc)
