Hi All, Us guys up North were having a chat the other day about running a mini mosconi cup, home and away for a bit of cash against some teams from around the country. Anyone interested in putting a team together for a home and away game for say £100 a man? We can discuss the format/stake/teams etc to make sure everything is fair and as close as possible to a 50/50 game, as we have a whole variety of players up here to choose from. If anyone fancies doing a Mini Mosconi, home and away against Vegas Sports Bar, then let me know on this thread and we can sort something out! Doesn't necessarily have to be 5 players, can be more or less, im sure someone will want to play. Not just all about the money but a good weekend away with lads and some good pool action! Surely someone can put up a team vs the below... Possible Players North Cat 2 Arfan Dad Chris Hall Michael Rhodes Mat Lawrenson Mark Lunn Dave Nelson Cat 3 Alex McElhatton Elliot Sanderson Jamie Yates Jason Murgatroyd Gibbo Mark Singleton Sam Hirst Cat 4 Ant Banham Craig Spencer Del Sim Harris Ali Kam Singh Lee Hart Lee Speight Liam Waterworth Murray Pryzbyl Nicky Hayes Tony Pyne Cat 5 Brad Parker Barry Briggs Dave Kelner Dave Hancock Danny Byrne Nav Hussain Simon D'Vali [ This message was edited by: The_Lunn on 2012-09-07 10:18 ]

Also, another question....
Would there be a handicap system, whereby each team must have x number of Cat 2's, Cat 3's, 4's and 5's etc? Obviously, everyone would want to watch Lunny, Arfan, Lawrenson, Rhodes, Hall against the cream of the southern talent, and i hope that can be arrange as that would be class.....
I just thought if the lower players are going to be playing, and you have say 5 players, you must have at least 1 from each cat? If you get my drift?

Yes Danny the Morley v Vegasbar game will be going ahead as planned. All going to plan we should be able to sort out some streaming or at least get some matches recorded for youtube.
Yes pal, see if you can get a team together who are willing to play then we will sort out dates/format/players etc!
No handicap system byrne, just even match ups agreed by the captains, if it takes off and we get lots of people wanting games maybe we could make some sort of system? We have the players of all ranges of play up here, so we could match pretty much any amateur team I reckon.

Is our "Captain" of Team Lester classed as a Southern Softie or hardened Northerner as has done at least 1 winter season up T'North?

Doesnt have to be north v south Paul, you can have Andy if you want Harty, I dont want to put a team out and ask for challengers, as then everyone will be on my case for not choosing them! The easiest way is to let someone like Paul to round up a team and us match it standard wise, as i said think we can match pretty much any amateur team.

Doesn't have to be north vs south would be good to travel to a few different clubs further south

Good luck with this guys. Regarding timings for a 5 man Mini Mosconi, the format we used for the Rack n Roll vs Solihull worked ridiculously well for a one dayer on 2 tables. PM Thief if you're interested I'm sure he'll send you it, even it's just for reference.

Cheers Ben, will send him a message. Was only thinking of doing 1 table to add to atmosphere, but like you say, just for reference if nothing else.
Cheers

Long day if travelling up/down playing all day then travelling back so an overnight may work that way not pushing matches to finish quickly. 245 miles Worthing - Wakey [ This message was edited by: virgy on 2012-09-05 14:24 ]

Yeah mate, suppose all that will depend on how many players, how much we play for and what format we choose...

Nice one Nelly. Waiting on replies from the Leicester lot, and Team Lester, then we're cooking with gas!
