Date: January 18
Doors open 2pm, tournament starting 230 sharp. NO phone ins
Location: End Pocket 970 Upper James St Hamilton Ontario
Race: staggered handicapped entry, game handicap.
I think with a staggered handicap tournament it may entice lower ranked players into playing these qualifiers. Handicaps will go from 5-12. These will NOT be based on your 404 handicap but based on your skill vs the other players in the room. IE the most skilled players will race to the highest number and go down from there.
Format:
9 ball
Rack your own
Race to 8 (adjusted) 9-5 is the biggest handicap anyone can be given.
No 9s on the break
Alternate break
Double elimination
Entry: $40
Payouts to be determined by number of entries (first 350 goes towards open 9 ball spot for Canadians, payouts will go down from there if available)
16 players maximum. May run a second board if the first board fills/players who are out want a second chance.
Tournament director sets handicaps. (That's me)
No assholes allowed (if you have to ask, don't even bother)
If you don't like the format, I will also be running non handicapped events, women's, 8 ball, 10 ball.
I expect these tournaments to get a wide variety of players. A good opportunity to get a spot in Canadians without having to pay the full entry or having to beat a previous Canadian champion to win your spot.
Both men and women are allowed to play the tournament. The winning spot will be for the appropriate divisions.
Big thank you in advance to Marty at The End Pocket for donating the table time.
