Mens South Yorkshire Pool Trial is on 22nd of Jan at Abbeydale Snooker Club 12 noon start i think there are 5 places

i take it then standard of players are very good?

You will have to play well to get in but its not the end as South Yorkshire have been short at most games so if someone doesnt get in just turn up to the games and you will get a chance as a sub down the line at alot of the away games you would get a start

think i may come along, can only try and see where it leads. What rules are played up here? i play for a team in lancashire (moving to sheffield asap) so might have different rules.

Thanks

World Rules last year we played best of 5 4 matches you need to win 3 should get you in its free to play all day

i'll look them up, see if there the same as i play, if not im sure theres not gonna be much difference

http://www.southyorkspool.com/main.asp i think the rules are on there site

2 shots carry
4 balls to hit cushion or a pot from break
deliberate fouls allowed
pot or any ball hit cushion after initial contact between white and own object ball
no free ball after foul.


don't worry, there'll be refs to help you, like me, on 2nd thoughts , worry

I The rules i play are the BAPTO rules:

regardless of what happens, the breaker gets to nominate!
no 2 shots carry (i prefer)
2 balls have to come into the top half of the table from break.
deliberate foul means loss of game (only if its abvious as many people do it and try to dispute it)
Free ball after foul

Think im deffinatly gonna come, even if i dont get anyways its a way to meet pool players!

you'll be welcomed with open arms, as will anybody else

Good, can only come down and try, doesnt even matter if i get through just chance to play some good pool! will you be there 8balltiger?

Yes he will be there to ref so will i week before there a singles ko for the players that played 60% of the matches in the season if you want to come and watch at Abbeydale

Sounds like fun! i'll have a wander down and see whats happening!

we also have a ladies and a youth side, there's no trials but i'm sure something can be sorted if enough people show interest

Any one comeing down from Sheffield Forum?

that's so good, man

There should be a advert about the Trials in next weeks star

Well done to Craig Ward beating Simon Dunn in the final of the County Championship Knockout on Sunday

wrong simon, there are more than 5 places,and reserves who normally get a frame or 2, also no players are turned away as places in the starting line up come fairly regular. and registration is at 11.45

What time do the doors open for practice on Sunday ?

Im interested as well, I have no idea how i'd stack up, I play snooker more than anything

i think if your a good snooker player you should do well as long as you dont get a bad draw world rules is setup as a potters game

did anyone go from on here?

only 16 players at the trial with 6 spots free was a real chance for anyone
