Side "Sporting" Events at WCOAP. Pingpong/pool,. etc....

[Matt D]

Rodders, PM me with any pool info you want posting on the first page and I"ll stick it up.

Note, there is no Pondboarding, and no Putt(putt). However, I am setting up a last minute bowlathon to take place on the Saturday AM. I will offer first place to those who have either mentioned bowling, or were due to play golf. Reckon we can probably get 18 of us in? (3 groups of 6, 2 games each = a coupla hours?). The winner of this event gets glory! And I may ebay a trophy after the event...

Defo in for bowling!

Aye, you"re #1 on the new list

When will bowling take place? I"m in probs

[AAroddersAA]

The pool is quite straight forward, be at Rileys by 9:45 on Friday, if all 36 turn up will will need 4 prelim rounds to get it down to 32 and will do this via random draw, if this happens I am going to drop out and just run the draw (I may end up doing this anyway just to ensure we run to time) and make sure the timings go as they should do, this should be quite easy given the number of tables we have.

If (as I suspect) we get between 16 and 32 then the first round draw will include byes and will be random draw best of 3 each round up until the final which depending on time may be able to be best of 5.

The entry fee is £10 which pays for tables and the rest goes into the prize fund which is split

1st - 40%
2nd - 30%
semi final losers - 15%

Rules are EPA World Rules (whatever they maybe) Shooter and Lucy know them and can help with any disputes.

No, not allowed. You have to play. I"m sure you can still direct traffic between shots, or others can work out who is next to play.

[GiMac]

Sorry guys can you take me off all lists.

[SirPercival]

Please take me off the PingPong list and the putting is cancelled so I guess I"m off that list anyway.

[Matt D]

No probs both.

We"ve now 1 space for Pingpong. Just sending a PM to all players now.

If you"re playing at DTD today (Thursday), Friday or Saturday, I"ll come and collect £8 off each of you and get you to draw a card from a pack to designate your group. The top 2 players from each group of 5, will proceed to the quarter finals.

If you"re not at DTD until Sunday, then please let me know if you still want to play, as will obviously require you coming up Saturday evening, or making a very early start on Sunday!... If you fall into this group, please can you PayPal me £8 to: matt [at] gamblingnetwork [dot] com , and PM me when you have. I"ll then mark you down as definitely attending and pick a card on your behalf to select your start group.

See you all at DTD!

Putting

I"ve unfortunately had to cancel the World famous APAT Putting event, due to a) crap weather & b) crap putting courses in Notts.


(10) Pin bowling

We have decided to replace this event with (10) Pin Bowling instead. This will take place at 11am on Saturday morning, cost £12.25 each (thanks to Jo Sharp"s contacts!) which will get you 2 games & hire of shoes.

The venue is directly opposite DTD (42 seconds in car, < 3 mins by foot). Details of venue are on the first post in this thread here: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=13213

I have PMed the following players, who were signed up for golf, to give them first refusal for the bowling:

So, if you"re in, please just send me a quick reply via PM and I"ll mark you down on the list.

I need a rough idea of numbers so I can book the correct number of lanes. (I reckon we can get 6 players per lane, so 18 players = 3 lanes). So, please reply to this before 3pm-ish on Friday, and I"ll ring up and get us booked in. No need to ship me any money now, just pay when you turn up.

Thanks
Matt
