Ok guys, been setting this up for 2 hours, and cost me £10 to buy the software, but here it is. live.brackelope.com/t/mjv5q#bracketThis is an online tournament page for todays tournament. You will get the brackets and each individual match results as I update them with an app on my phone (there are tabs at the top, they should all work in real time) Don't forget you can check when updates are avalible by following @barbilliards on twitter. Given this has cost me money and time, I would really, really appreciate some feedback and whether people think it's a good idea. I'll also post a few notes and happenings in this thread, but it's the link above I'm really keen to test. Please, please spread the word around and encourage people to take a look and test it. Good luck everyone.

So the tournament kicks off with a 22,000k break by Gareth Lloyd, against me whilst inflicting a 33,000 loss.
Gareth was awesome, damn him.

We have a new high break, same table as Gareth, but this time Kevin Tunstall racks up 23,470.... Outstanding.

Did not spot there were tabs on that sheet.
Can see some 'W' & 'L' but no scores.

Yes there are no scores I'm afraid, just the winners and losers.

So right this moment, if you use the tabs at the top you should be able to see the matches that are "in progress"

Also, the matches that are in progress should be highlighted in green on the brackets page.

Another 20k break, this time from Nigel on a different table.

Last of the first round matches are now being played, a should be highlighted in green in the brackets tab on the link.
Having only just returned, I think it's fair to say the overall standard of Bar billiards has improved in the 5 years I've been away. People I used to know as decent steady players are now running tables out.... People I've never herd of are getting 8,9,10 breaks on a consistent basis.
This is wonderful but makes me realise I might have to do that one thing I really have no time or intention to do...... Practice.
Anyway, hope the coverage is working, and that at least one or too of you have taken a peak.

I see The Chunky Monkey is the first player through to the last 16! 8-)
One question: Under the 'Stats' tab, what is the significance of the '5 longest matches' ?

When you click a match as being played, it times how long it takes before you click a winner. Useful in other sports but not ours.
This application is universal, and not customised to specific sports. But it's fairly new so I hope updates and more features will be released in the future.
Second round match results are on there way...

It's interesting to me but has not kept my attention like yesterday's did without the scores to see who is playing well.

I must confess I didn't think about the ladies. It was last night at midnight when I discovered the software an then heaven knows how much messing around with the draw to get the players. My bad.

Keep up the good work, Glenn, I'm following events on here having returned home from the tournament. I have the link open at the active and upcoming matches tab - will this update automatically or will I need to refresh to see when it changes?

It will probably require a refresh I must admit. If you have twitter then add @barbillards to be alerted when the page is updated.
