We may need to open up some extra tables, just spoken to a couple of guy"s who know a lot about running pool tournaments and playing them (both are top 5 players in Wales) and they reckon that doing this with 4 tables in 3 hours should be no problem at all. I doubt it will be hard to open a couple of extra tables if we need too though.

Steve, question for you. I didn"t know that Black Ball rules were not used in England (until Lucy told me last weekend), as most of the people in this event are from England do you think it would be better to change to World Rules as constantly having to check on the rules will eat up time.

I don"t think it makes that much difference to be honest - we could use Uncle Tom Cobley"s APAT rules, so long as whichever rules are used are published on here in advance, and have a copy printed and to hand on the day.

I don"t know enough pool rules to say whether Black Ball is better than World Rules.... I"m just aware that rules seem to differ dependent on which pub I"m in, and what day of the week it is, and as a result there always seems to be arguments about rules.  I"m sure Lucy can advise....

There will always be arguments over rules. Based on that, The main bonus of playing world or epa rules is that rileys promotes them and there should be copies of them on the walls. Also, i kno them inside out, as will the staff at rileys, so arguments would be resolved with a fair amount of consistency an speed...just a thought. I shall ring today an initially i will ask for 5 or 6 tables from 10am on xxx

As long as you still get 2 shots on the black in the event of a foul I"m happy!

Nice one Lucy

As for World Rules, I have an idea of these rules but don"t really know them, but should be able to learn them by Friday.

Gonna go for a game tomorrow to try and get use to playing them, the two visits and no open table after a foul will confuse me though *lol*.

LOL the confusion starts here - I thought open table after a foul was a standard in all rulesets :)

Once you get your head around world rules they make a lot of sense but they totally change the dynamic (i"m a pool geek) google epa world rules. Like i say, rileys will have the rules on the wall or available somewhere and should have knowledge themselves to help out :) xxx
speaking of which, 6 tables for 3 hours (10-1) = £24 which should make it less that £1 per person...prizes? Entry cost? Anyone?
There is already a discount on the bar during the day, all pints are around the £2.50 mark etc, nothing particularly special. Hope this is all ok? xxx

Lucy, you are a star. Well Done, I will get you a couple of drinks on the weekend for that. :-)

If you are playing I don"t think the entry cost should be too high though ;-p

We know you are hustling but reckon we could do a couple of quid in if everybody is up for it.

the ping pong event in Luton had a buy in of £10 per head, from which expenses were taken, and the remainder paid out in prize money.

So, for the pool, if we went with a tenner per person, and got 32 people, that would be £320 - £24 for table hire, = £296 prize pool. Then pay that out to the winner, runner up, and losing semi finalists.... say 40%, 30%, 15%, 15%
