all other players must be present by 11:30am, each group will have a table so other matches will be ready to start

Am probably tired and being a bit thick but please can you make that clearer for me. What does the other guy race to?

Surely the race is always the same in every match and you just start from your handicap?

Please don't say I'm giving a 2 start in a race to 7.

Confused lol

Now that bit I can understand. I'm thinking a +2 player verses a +4 player instead of starting on 2 and 4 respectively and racing to 11 you would start on 0 and 2 and race to 9 (same thing really).

So if a 0 plays a +4 I would expect it to be a race to 11 with one player getting 4 start.

And if a 0 v +2 you would race to 11, yes?

I can't work out if you've shortened the race from what you first announced or if you're saying one player races to one figure and another player races to another figure. If the latter I'm not sure if it's just me but I find that really hard to follow compared with you both racing to the same target and one of you getting a start.

yes lee i think you are a bit confused.......

the least number of racks a player will have to win is 7

0 plays a +2 race to 9 for example

also 2 players that are on the same handicap will race to 7, if 2 scratch handicaps play each other rather than race to 11 they will race to 7

dont worry lee its all in hand, ur job is to turn up and play!!

A big part of that is understanding what race I'm playing to and being sure everyone else is playing to the same rules, hence my question.

I just find it very confusing to say 'lowest handicap will always race to 7'. When in fact they are racing to 9 or 11 if a start is involved and giving a 2 or 4 start. So I think it was a reasonable question.

I think you meant highest (not lowest) handicapped players will always have to win 7 racks.

I get it now.

Really looking forward to this event now. I've heard so many good things about Micky Flynns, it's somewhere I've wanted to play for a while

wont be able to attend as ive got to work now sorry mate

many thanks to all that turned up for the tournament yesterday, i know a few of you might moan and groan about the tables and yes while they are not ideal i still think they are playable, i would not organise a tournament if this was not the case

congrats to all the prize money winners, nice to see lionel brown make it thru to the quarters and taking a great scalp in the last 16 in darryn walker

thanks to all of the dutch lads aswell, maybe we can make this tournament a yearly event?

Yes Ricardo another good comp at Mickey's... Nice friendly atmosphere wiv all the dutch lads coming over..

Also good to see the likes of Elliot Sanderson, Mark Singleton and Mark Lunn make the effort to come over as well....

32+ entries and £1230 notes paid for a day event is decent...

Player of day was Mark Lunn didnt miss much and took scalps of Ozzie and Imran..........

Look forward to next event, keep up good work mate..

                             Mark.

ta pal think i deserve a day off hahahahaha

yep agree its great to see more new faces at the club and i hope they enjoyed their first time at mickeys, spoke to a few of the dutchies before they left and they would like to come again which is great

Had a great day, loved the layout of the club and enjoyed the comp. I agree with Mark G, Lunn played well all day and deserved his place in final, shame Imran called him a cheat as when amateurs like ourselves beat top pros and players we look up to its nice to enjoy the moment rather than have it wrongly tainted like that but it definitely didn't ruin the day for us and I'm looking forward to coming back for a future comp. Mark

Yep was an awesome day, wasn't sure about the tables at first but they played pretty well in the end considering your table fitter let you down.

Cheers for nice words, means a lot, so nice to beat players of that caliber and to split final of that field is probably the best tournament of my life!

Great tourney hopefully be back - Northerners... Taking on the South!

Cheat lol (explain) - prob a bit of sour grapes tbh
(people in glass houses and all that lol)

Well done to the two Yorkshire bangers, singo ripping it up at English and American !! What next snooker or crown green bowling !! Legend that lad

Looks like a great event Rich wish i could of made it. Well done to Mark great performance m8 taking out a couple of top players. Rich will the tables still be getting done?

I scratched my nose whilst Imran was down on his shot, innocent mistake just a natural reaction. I was 7-5 up at the time, had him hooked on the 1 he was kicking out. Hit the 1, then I ran the rack and broke ran to win

Tried to apologise after the game for what I thought was an innocent mistake but got told I didnt deserve to win, which I would agree with if I had have done it on purpose. Those who know me will vouch for my integrity.

Yeah cheers Phil, played solid all day

Imran prob put itching powder on your towel or summin, undone by his own efforts......

yes phil am gona sort that out asap, no one was more dissapointed in me with the tables not being done, even tho i agree with lunny that the tables are not actually that bad, they do need recovering!!

Good comp as usual Rich with a good turnout - be good to get the Dutch guys back over again - hope they enjoyed the day.

Well done Mark on getting to the Final with Rich, was a tough field - never easy at Mickeys!
