The Winter edition of the York Bar Billiards League will be getting underway next week. Tonight, the University took on the Waggon and Horses in a friendly match, which was won by the newcomers 4-3. A report will be up on our website soon, and the fixtures for the next season are already there.

I'm not sure it'd be entirely necessary to have the section subdivided further, as there are only two leagues up here and not a lot of posting going on about them. I don't expect the place to suddenly get flooded with activity, so for now, I suggest keeping it as is (but correct the forum name, you've put Var Billiards!)

I'll give them a go! Are the rules much different for either variation?

I held the first informal practice session for York's University today, and was wondering if anybody had any ideas for fun variants to try out just to keep things interesting. I came up with an idea for 'hardcore mode' that led to some interesting shot choices:

They'll be joining next season along with the Brewery. Hopefully the uni will be able to beat at least one of them!

Waggon and Horses haven't been listed or marked on the map as a league venue.

I've managed to get a few people from uni joining in for our team in York's league, and they always enjoy it, and they actually say the opposite of what BB Warrior said, that other players seem to get about the same table time as you get. I'm always hearing about students playing on the table but having no idea that there's a team or even a league, so publicity seems to be the problem, because most people will have a go simply out of intrigue.

A couple of students have replied saying that they'll be staying in York over the summer, so this may get off the ground quicker than I thought!

Thanks for posting Joe (we're planning tomorrow for next league, be great if you're able to get a team together. just give me a shout). In more exciting news we now have a second table in the Fulford Arms who are propose quick fire tournaments taking place on one day. We're also welcoming a new team from the Knavesmire who christened their table with a singles tournament last friday night, a tremendous evening even if a player from the 'ball won. We've also been in touch with some guys from sheffield who hope to head up later in the year for a billiards crawl AND hopefully we'll have news of another team from the uni *cough*joe*cough* shortly so things are really moving in the north! The players are there, it's the venue we need. The Victoria are looking at putting a table in, but the cost is putting them off for the time being. I suspect that they'd need to know that a team is definitely there if they want it, but for the time being, we could play away matches only as I suggested previously, or take up temporary residence at the Fulford Arms (not sure how happy they'd be with that). I'll be bringing two new people to Thursday's game, so things are looking good from the uni!

These collect in person auctions are incredibly annoying if you're from the north! I wouldn't trust a commercial firm with them Joe. ( and they take an awful lot of brown paper to wrap!!) Tony But the fun you'd have with that much bubblewrap! I suppose I may be forced to go to the pub to practice instead! Oh dear!
