Yes I play in Croydon League. It is world rules, I haven't played blackball rules but from what I can gather they would suit me more as I don't like tactical games.
We have got a qualified for Yarmouth on 12 September in Crawley of all places. I've played at Yarmouth three times and we've managed to get to the last 16 twice. Last year one of our players won the national singles.
In the league if one team insists on playing on the clock then it has to be used. We don't normally bother but we played the team who won it the year before and they are painfully slow, so we put them on the clock and they couldn't handle it. We beat them 8-3.1 -
Oh yes that rings a bell, shame as the league i play in doesnt enter for Yarmouth. A couple of my mates have been from playing out of Eltham.LawrieAbrahams said:Yes I play in Croydon League.

I have only played a handful world rules, been playing blackball last few years and before was old EPA (i think). When i get 2 shots in WR i get so confused as i dont know what to do, i kind of do now but its not very natural as in BB you just develop your worst ball/ or blackball.
Starting a monday league in Maidstone World rules in October, hopefully shall improve my game. I was speaking to Toby bolt the weekend in the comp i played and he isnt really a world rules fan but he was saying how both should help the other. Eg. World Rules players who play blackball - someone said they are more clinical now as with BB you cant afford to miss, where you have the insurance with 2 on World rules (if that makes sense), the other way round i think my saftey game will improve the more i play WR as its more of a factor, seem to get in more tactical spots.
We should go for a game sometime Lawrie, just for a knockabout really not for anything worthwhile.
We have only done it a couple of times put people on clock from past experience before the match, dont really want to but when someone takes 5 minute a shot when there is only 1 shot you can play and an easy safety it gets a bit ridiculous.
PS- Good luck in September for the nationals, let me know how you get on.0 -
WORLD 6 REDS CHAMPION IS KYREN WILSON
Kyren beat Ding 8-4 in the final2 -
That is now back to back tournement sucess for Kyren who has now won 15 matches in a row.
He has also played 24 matches this season and won 22.
He is in form and with The Shanghai Masters around the corner he looks good value at 25/1

6 reds, not a proper tournament im afraid. Not quite snooker shootout but completely different game. Well done Kryen, i imagine Shanghai will be tougher and surely Ronnie and co will start turning up soon.0

Mind you, did you see what ROS said about pool? He said in golf terms comparing snooker to pool is like comparing The Open to crazy golf.1 -
Yep i found it funny, even though i play pool used to play snooker (local level, won a couple of tournaments). Whatever Ronnie says i would either agree or see positive, i am a proper fan boyLawrieAbrahams said:

I think he's right. I only play pool now because my eyesight is shot and because to play snooker to a standard I would enjoy I would have to play a few times a week.0

Agreed Snooker is more glamorous, i can still play snooker but just get more bored with it... although i still get bored with pool just alot easier and more social. I stopped more because its in a league which teams were dropping out (called me up in the week to see if i wanted to play this season) get 1 frame and then 1 trebles (at one point was doubles), bit of a joke really. Snooker is going backwards, pool is on the up.LawrieAbrahams said:I think he's right.

You make it sound like i should know this, you have said she was taken into hospital to give birth. Now you follow up with they are staying in so its safe to say something has happened. IF your going to post stuff put FACTS and be clear because you make me look silly,paulie8290 said:

Also didnt realise but Womens Uk Championship also finished yesterday. Reanne Evans went out first round
NG on Yee won 4- 1 against Rebecca Kenna in the final
bit short races for a notable title, NG on Yee is currently playing on the challenge tour with the amateur men, think Reanne too.0 -
