Yes Ash, And having you whinge at me for looking miserable immediately after finishing a 2.5 hr match of dreary pool was exactly what I needed. Thanks for that.

All I wanted was to get over the line and finish the damn thing (without losing any more frames!) 

Steve Jordan 10-9 Mark Salter

Both of us played ok in spells.

You can say that again when i was 7-2 up thought it was done and dusted only for Mark to win the next 6 frames.
Well played Mark never gave up.

Marc Reynolds 10 - 9 Nicki Kinsey

Grrr! Went from 6-1 down to 8-7 up but still failed to get over the line! Our deciding frame was a disaster from both of us - more so me though!!

Mark Cooper 10-1 Steve Joseph

Yes but you have won more than 6 frames in 3 matches. Poor bloke must be stressed out! lol

Steve Jordan 10-6 Ash Street

1 Dish to me apart from that was not a great game score line could have read the other way round

Don't make me call you a chump....oh ok then.  You're a chump.

Nicki Kinsey 10 - 1 Hassan Ali -  England player versus nine year old.

Terry Ambrose 1 - 10 Richard Lamburn - Worst pool-playing pool club manager versus (very) seasoned pool league campaigner.

Mark Cooper 10 - 1 Steve Joseph - Former Thursday Winter League Section Four Most Wins 3rd place versus...well aw just bless him.

With all due respect these scorelines are more a reflection on the lack of experience in some players and not the inappropriate seeding of others.  As there is no Section Four, there is nowhere else to go.

Next season, Section Four will be Keith Hollis times twelve so he can play with himself six times a month.

I see Sheba's grading system works in this league then with 10-1's all over the place - lol

I think Sheba's scoring system by nature of its design does encourage greater thrashings, as opposed to reducing them.

This is because the person winning keeps fightinng right the way to the finish, not wanting to lose the points available for every 2 frames you finish clear, when their rivals might take more off them.

Yes the losing player may also keep trying due to the extra points they can pick up, but where the difference in score is significant by this stage, theres not usually all that much the weaker player can do to swing things one way or t'other.  

Loss of frames at this late stage is usally just going to be down down to the stronger player slacking off too much or being careless. Which doesn't tend to happen under this scoring system.

Fair play to Tom for running such a competition and no dis respect to him but i thenk that the point scoring system that was voted in is awful..!

very unlikely yes but what would happen if a player goes unbeaten for a whole season but another player loses just 1 game... the player that loses 1 game could win the league??

For Example... Player 1 could go unbeaten for all 11 games winning them by a narrow margin (10-8 or 10-9) but player 2 could win 8 or 9 games by a huge margin (10-1 or 10-2) but lose 2 or 3 games by a narrow margin and still win the league. how can a player thats unbeaten not be champion to someone that has lost a couple of games??
