Sunday 2nd March 2014 21:00 GMT will be the The Funkypool World Straight Ball Championship 2014!

Get ready to be crowned the Funkypool World Straight Ball Champion 2014!

do we get any medal on our profile for this?
and whats the format?

All. Over. This.

Bring. It. On.

No. Hope. In. Hell. For. Anyone. Else.

Shot time limit 20 secs
Game Time limit 1200 secs
Opening rounds race to 1
QF race to 2
SF race to 3
Final race to 4

Prize is you will be crowned the Funkypool Straight Ball Champion of 2014! I'm working on some graphics now and you will be put on the Funkypool Champions thread (which is in the process of being made)

that is going to last for hours
we should prepare a couple of coffees for Sunday i guess

Yep, its going to be tough!
I'm just making a medal that can go on your 'about me' section of your profile for now. Hopefully something more official in the near future.

Come on!!! Thank the Lord!! Finally a tournament worth winning!

The first time I can enter and it's the least preferable type mind you I can only just about enter it (hopefully) if there's no delays

Who was the fool who suggested the first Sunday of each month at 9pm?

I worry more 'average' players may not commit themselves to such a long tournament - especially seeing as tinie is so amazing and he's going to smash us all

They might not see the point if there isn't much chance of winning?

Next months tournament is 8 Ball Arcade Speed, so they can enter that one
This is the image I have so far, with my terrible photoshop skills! If we have any graphic artists on here, it would be really nice if you could make a 'trophy' for the about me section of the winner.
Thanks

I'd really like to push for NO TIME LIMIT on the rounds, especially the final. How am i supposed to hit a 100 run every game if i get DQ'd?

Second that, i have been waiting for this tourney to hit a 200+

Is this still going ahead tonight?

Sure is!
I've been plugging it on facebook and twitter daily for the past 4 days I think. Hopefully we should get a good turnout

As far as I am aware it is.

Its the first of a series of 'Major' Pool events in all of the Tournament types which, as stated above, will give us a roster of annual 'World Champions' for each type.



Since there is no way to auto stop a game at the point 35 is achieved I would hope that, out of respect for everyone taking part, players will stop runs themselves once games have been won unless to continue it is clearly not unduly delaying the progression of the tournament as a whole.

Pointless having a straight tournament as it's inevitable who will win, between those in the top 4 or 5 in the ranks. A lot of players wont bother entering on this premise so I'll be surprised if more than 20 bother to join.

Good Luck to those who do.
