Onto a more serious note. Iv just learned you get a bonus point for a golden break. I find this rather daft in my opinion, as winning the frame from what is essentially a fluke shot is reward enough. I know not all will agree with that statement.

I think it would be better if there is a bonus point for a 7 ball instead then at least it's earned. Maybe if more agree with me it could go down to a vote to see about it being changed for next season. Maybe I'm just on my own on this one but if more agree then it may be worth looking into. I know not everyone will agree.

Please discuss and get a job!!!!

Was discussed a while back on this thread and there were different opinions, league runners left it in, I think you'll find theres not been many.

At the very least then, could there also be a bonus point for 7 balls. I think it requires a lot more skill than getting a golden break. Could there even be a vote to see if people would like it added? For instance getting every clan captain to vote?

Was going to open up format discussions a little later in the season but no harm in doing so now for constructive input.

The current format was drawn up at short notice out of respect and consideration for others. That said it has proved to be the first format that rewards the better player across all three game types in any given match. Despite that I know its not popular with all.

The most important thing is to offer an environment and format that the vast majority of players want to play in, and one they feel offers the best test as a player and as a clan. The first I think has been comfortably achieved so time to achieve the second as well.

I am open to absolutely any suggestion regarding numbers of players, numbers of racks, type of games and event or any other bonuses.

The only things I would like to see are...

1) A reduction in the effect of any given default score on a whole season - ie default scores only applying in the direct game between the teams involved which probably means moving away from the cumulative scoring that currently exists

and

2) Some form of play-off - again for the same reason that it means that defaults should never affect who wins the overall competition.

Other than that it's a free rein for all.

brainphr33ze vs emmajane
us8
1-5
us9
0-6.... he then logged out.

At this point he left and has now deactivated =/

Guess we might be stuck with a default here.

Is there anything I could do here to get game played?

The only thing you can do is hope he comes back in time, or they make a sub to get the rest played

Ive probably changed my mind on the 7 balling rule tbh, against top opposition yh ok it is a good achievement but against say a lesser opponent 1 that really struggles to pot, would mean there would be a lot of 7 ballings, plus if players had vendettas against other clans this could give a lot of points away if sum1 wanted to ruin the league for others.

Runouts on the other hand are all you so no1 can accuse u of throwing a frame away or giving a 7 balling away, if it was me i would throw away the golden break rule, and give 2 points for every runout

7 ballings would also possibly encourage more safety play and could negate runouts. Thus making the match boring and some people might have to change the way they approach a game.

Would love the 2 points for a run tho

Chips n gravy out.

Following the withdrawal of Chips n Gravy, Uprising have been reinstated to The League Cup and will play Snooker Squad in the Semi-Finals due to commence in the next 6 days.


Also still seeking any input from members aimed at developing the format to one that people want and that even further provides the best test for players across all relevant game types.

hello, has the players champ next round been drawn yet chris

Good news for Uprising but we lost fair and square so we should be out totally, or has this been done just so the cup schedule you have can stay the same...

Fact here though is we lost and are out, other teams lost and i don't see them reinstated... not very fair.

Its simple common sense really. At the point a team withdraws from the league all of their results are expunged.

So in the same way that your league defeat has been removed because, in effect, it never existed then so has your cup defeat.

Now of course if Uprising did not wish to take part then thats fine but as it happens I know thats not the case.
