The High Wycombe Hurricane 9 Ball Open
This much anticipated tournament at a chain of clubs that you might not have heard of before, but they have arrived with a bang and the first of a series of 9 ball tournaments was fully subscribed and is drawing to a close now.
The familiar eight groups of six players format is being used, with the top two from each group qualifying for a single elimination Last 16 stage.
There was a bit of controversy as groups were decided by racks won only and not matches.
Rico Diks group was decided by 1 rack. Rico thought he was through after winning 4 matches, then he lost his last match 5-0 to Chris Buckmaster which is where the drama started.
Craig Osborne thought he was through on racks won, by 1 rack even though he had lost 2 matches in the group.
After endless chat and discussion the decided outcome was a play off match between Craig and Rico, but Rico was not happy with this, insisted on his money back and left, and Ossie went through to the last 16 by the skin of his teeth.
