Riley’s Darlington Tour Stop 2 - 5th-6th June 2010
There's a very exciting year in prospect for Britain's wheelchair pool players as tour organisers have restructured the tour and the best news is, it's not too late to join.
The tour can now welcome players of widely ranging ability with a new two division structure that means that non-professional players can battle amongst themselves in a new "Challenge" division as well as having the opportunity of matching themselves against the elite players on the tour.

OVERVIEW
In 2010 the BWPPA will be offering to it's members a four stop tour utilising a new dynamic format. Each weekend of pool will consist of two tournaments. A main ranking event spanning the Saturday and Sunday and a Challenge-Cup event on the Sunday.
Challenge Cup
This is an open event to all wheelchair players who do not qualify for the second days play of the main event. The event will be single elimination, and at the end of the season the top two ranked Challenge Cup players will receive a prize from our sponsors.
Main Event
The main event will be used to derive all UK rankings – the number 1 player on the main event will be known as the UK’s number 1 wheelchair player. It will start on the Saturday after the registration and players meeting at 10.30am. The quarter finals will be held on the Sunday at 10.30 am and the semi finals will be held on the Sunday at 12.30 pm and the final will be held on the Sunday at 2.30 pm.
The Main Event will be double elimination until the quarter-final stage. All races in the winners side will be to 7 racks. All races in the one loss side will be to 7 racks.
