yep you're eliminated from knockouts as cliffy is 2nd on 5 (not updated yesterdays).

Rich + Fresh didn't play so Original games stand, this is now final, no matter if both can play today

Note: I had to move deadline forward by one day to accommodate the extra day extension. Extension date would have been 2nd May (day the Snooker ends) but knowing people would rather watch the final, the extension time will be increased by one day so you don't need to choose.

Cheers

If you don't have posting rights or too lazy to post then PM or Facebook me etc etc.

UK Championship, Top 8 Overall Rank will join the event, After the Finals are over i'll do the Rankings and invite on this page and PM which you would have 48 hours to accept roughly (If you're out of town around Finals date i'll accept an early "yes" so you don't miss out).

Will start Mosconi once all 16 places are filled or a considerable amount of time has elapsed.

Cheers

^ Next Week i'll tag people then around next weekend allow other entries

Plans for next season

Tournament Set One
Premier League (Group Stage)
Pot Luck (Random)
German Masters (8 Ball US)
Champion of Champions (Random)
Mosconi Classic (9 Ball US)
Shootout (Straight)
UK Championship (8 Ball UK)

Champion of Champions will be from Season Two as starts at end of World Championship

Tournament Set Two
Premier League (Semi Finals)
Series Championship (Mixed - 8 Ball US, 9 Ball US, 8 Ball UK, Straight)
Masters (8 Ball US)
Premier League (Grand Final)
Welsh Open (8 Ball UK)
Grand Prix (9 Ball US - Timed Event)
World Championship (9 Ball US)

Deadlines would be...

Minor:
Round One: 2 Weeks
Quarters: 2 Weeks
Semis: 3 Weeks
Final: 4 Weeks

Major:
Quarters: 3 Weeks
Semis: 4 Weeks
Final: 4 Weeks

* Deadlines may be longer but thats the base of it to keep it equal

Major Tournaments

This season Top 8 will Qualify with others missing out.

Next season Top 4 will Qualify and the others will be in a Qualification Round where the 4 players making the Semis playing in the Major Event. Qualification would still be seeded

Qualification Rounds would happen during the previous set and would have same deadline as Majors.

Next Season will be brutal but only way i could cut season in half from 48 Weeks to 22-24 Weeks depending on extensions. Still wouldn't be shy of games

done

Finally we got it done.

count_raven 3 - 3 2pac

8US 1 - 1
9US 2 - 0
8UK 0 - 2

ggs mate

Well done guys

Group A
1 erigert 10
2 count_raven 8
2 hippesville 8
2 triple_b 8
5 2pac786 6

* Others eliminated
* Eri has already qualified but if hippes or 2pac reach 10 then a tie breaker for 1st will be needed

hippesville has 1 game remaining against 2pac (2 points available)
2pac has 2 games remaining against hippes and buckjam (4 points available)

Carsten/Sarahs hopes rest on Jamie beating 2pac and 2pac beating Hippes to force a 4 way playoff between 2pac, hippes, sarah and carsten, how i would do it, tournament or killer, no idea.

If 2pac plays Jamie first then if 2pac beats Jamie then Sarah/Carsten be eliminated then these scenarios happen.

Draw: Hippes/2pac Playoff for Qualification
Win: Winning Player/Eri Playoff for First (Both Qualified)

If 2pac would tie vs Jamie then 2pac on 7 points so all Hippes would have to do is not lose and Eri would be First Outright.

If 2pac plays Hippes first and loses then Hippes and Eri would be a playoff for first.

Single Tiebreaker (2 Players)
If after all games have been completed in Group Stage and they're tied then they will play a tie breaker which is 1 Frame of 8US, 9US, 8UK with first to two claiming the spot into the Semi Finals.

Multiple Tiebreaker (3+ Players)
Need ideas for this but thinking Killer at an agreed time with the Winner advancing.

Other idea would be a Round Robin but could still have ties.

2pac786 4-2 faust
8 us 2-0
9 us 1-1
8 uk 1-1

well done mate, hotting up now!

you want in Mosconi btw

So I need to get this right james, rich misses the only appointment we had organised and he goes through on default..?

Tbh I really don't understand that, and I'd like to be removed from this thing immediately unless there's a decent explanation to it.

Thanks mate

No information was given so i would only go on activity which i felt Richie won, with default announced i didn't want to change the decision or offer further extensions. Same basis as the Clan League, if no one gives in information then i can only go on activity as i didn't want a Double DQ.

In Clan League it would be a 0-0 default with any info after the scheduled time being made void.

If info was sent in on time, more than likely you would be through but i need to stick to a system

Yeah but then you cant really gauge Fresh's activity without checking ever few hours or so (regardless of in game results as well, online is online) You have went off Ritchie's activity more or less because over past few days you both have been playing 9US together?

It does not affect me at all but that does not sound really fair. Think both players would agree too that?.

There was no Deadline once again set, so how can one be expected to be introduced just because other fixtures are completed?

Speaking directly with those players offline who have matches remaining could be a way forward but to eliminate a player due to not being as active as the other over a fabricated Deadline seems really harsh.

'I'm aware you have a match outstanding, could you try and get it played asap please so we can move the competition onwards. '

Nowt wrong with a little ushering message offline. I'm sure fresh would have appreciated that.

Edited at 20:13 Sat 16/04/16 (BST)

I have Fresh on friends list so activity was easy this time.

i'll speak to Rich on FB tomorrow as practicing for Clan Killer tomorrow night.

I like Fresh but i mentioned several days ago about info being sent and no one sent any in until Rich posted by that time the decision was made.

In Clan League it would be a 0-0 for sure as any info after is made void. Had to use only resources i had

Deadline was 12th April Ash, i extended by 3 days, This ISN'T Premier League. Players had 3 weeks to play.

You make it sound as if this was some official league event. This is dgen's tourney. He has gone the lenient path so far without setting deadlines, which is good with long format games. When a game doesnt get played for ages, it's usually both players fault, so it doesnt really matter who gets kicked out.
But dgen has no obligation to do anything in his own event.

Yes, but being the honest player Rich is he admitted too missing an arranged time for the game, which should go against him but then you based it off activity as well and not that as well. I like both lads so hard too say and again it don't affect me what ever the default is just thought i would say that.

When is the next tournament thing being released by the way mate?
