Tour Signups

Seb didn't reply so stuck him in anyway. No one else can join and these are now locked unless i need to replace a Major Tournament player but players can still request to be removed. You have until 7 pm to make any bets which you should post on FUNKBET page.

After 7 pm bets will be locked and then i'll release fixtures tonight or tomorrow depending how lazy i am (If tomorrow i'll allow bets all evening).

If you don't like the Bell click link below and can make your own, Was a Chime on there but felt a bit quiet but my PC isn't loud volume.

Minors

Series Championship - (Mixed - 8US, 9US, 8UK, STR)
http://funkypooltour.weebly.com/series-championship.html

Basic Rules
http://www.funkypool.com/thread/20359/funkypool-world-tour/42#1839595

^ Think if FBL, Each type you win is one point, so in Round One for example...

Dgen vs Seb - Best of 5 points (First to 2 in 8US, 9US, 8UK, STR)

8US: Dgen 2-1 Seb - 1:0
9US: Dgen 0-2 Seb - 1:1
8UK: Dgen 2-1 Seb - 2:1
STR: Dgen 0-2 Seb - 2:2

Now all types are over and no one has reached 3 points then recycle back to 8US which in this case is the 5th and Final Type.

Series (Mixed - 8US, 9US, 8UK, STR) - Round One

First Round Format?
Points needed will be 3 points out of the 5 types available and will play a "Best of 3" so first to win 2 frames wins the point.

Grand Prix Match Quarter Finals (9 us)

legend_pot 8 - 0 triple_b

golden break for me

Just about won the 8th frame with a few seconds to spare

I played well here, didnt miss too many balls when I had the shots on and played some good snookers to win a couple of frames as well, had a nice golden break as well in the third I think, but in all fairness she didn't have too much luck, mainly setting me up for combo shots for me to take the frame and with cannons, but she didnt get too many chances either as i was playing some nice safety shots, just wasn't her night unfortunately on the 9 us table I know she is much better than the scoreline shows ggs ul

The 10 second timer is interesting, i do like it as you have to be quick with your thought process and shot selection so it's a nice addition

yeah, Dee invited me to 20 by accident but still shot fast. i prefer 5 sec if i'm honest but not that cruel

Can have more than 10 if both agree but while safety is encouraged in latter stages if more than 10 sec i don't really want 19+ secs of time wasting per shot. 9 sec is okay as not breaking the bank.

Nice Win

wouldn't mind 5 second games tbh all good fun im usually a quick thinker with pool most of the time too

same, sometimes i'm too quick shooting in 3 seconds and easy misses.

If you're on at night mate generally after 7:30 and if i'm not busy we can do some 5 sec 9 ball games

yeah i do take as much time as possible for tricky pots or positionals

I'll give you a message if I'm about

hoping to play Jay this weekend!

Erigert 3 - 1 vixen_oxo

Enjoyed these games although we were terrible at times. Ggs

Thanks both, what you think of format?

I enjoyed it myself.

cheers wanted to do it for a while.
