or perhaps the time has come for two sections or go for a high-brid, everyone plays everyone and then the overall table is cut based on the results at that stage, then those teams play off aginst there own section once more ?

if it hasn't been put in place, it should be in my opinion - otherwise you will always get a yo-yo effect !

Incredible, that's one way of describing it, more like a u turn almost....you are right though the break and one up were easy enough, messed up on the split twice and then Allan Lacey pretty much finished off the rest of the table time. Didn't get a chance to try again in the pairs, try again next Tuesday !

Why keep pointing this out, it's unfair to keep going on about in my opinion. On the grapevine I heard that all the B team were able to play the table, given that wasn't the case, less that a few weeks ago, it must have been improved whether it stayed like that is another matter - guess I will find out on Thursday when we play there.

What infamous Masons incident are you talking about ? One of your team saying they were useless in the background when you were on the phone to them. Yeah, I can see that annoying any new player to the game

Alan, whilst I symphasise with tables that have had issues following decisions to re cloth etc. I am not sure, why league funds should help to fix it. Those venues, teams, whoever have made the decision to recloth etc. There have been excellent jobs done in the Witney league on most if not all tables, covering myself there. If the workmanship isn't up to standard, surely the responsibility falls on those teams, venues to rectify the situation to make a table playable. Bar billiards isn't like pool, in pool we have a rule that any table cannot roll off more than half a ball or away team have the right to have it levelled up. In bar billiards we have 8, left, right rolls, slow, fast, uphill and downhill. We all know you can't level them and expect then to play the same that night. What is a league standard table in bar billiards? A table you can score 10k on, a table anyone can play for fun......

Highest break was 1900, mine in the pairs About your normal standard then Keith. You'll be up there again in a few weeks playing us so I'll show you how to play it. That's below average for even the trickiest tables, in the Witney and eynsham leagues, no names of course

so all the matches so far 6 - 0 this must be a first, although ours wouldn't have been, Tim knocking the black peg out after I tapped off with the opening brake over 3.5K, opponents on zero, less than a two minutes to go and we now had zero as well... i would have gone for the 200 at the end had he not have got the hundred !

I would like to say after all the bad press the old table at Donnington had, the one in there now was a joy to play on last night. Its all there, has its quirks and pitfalls as most do! No I am not revealing those

I agree, will be sadly missed by all. His friendly smile and banter on nights when Headington played his team were some of the best nights of the season for me and will miss that.

Oracle 4 - 2 Bletch A
Sid 2 - 0 andy (Sid was on fire, hitting nearly 20K across both games and a break of around 10 in the second one) Keith 1 - 1 Geoff (mirror games, I think we had two visits each in both games), both with break after opening breaks of approx. 3k in each giving both a chance Ian 1 - 1 Pete (Pete had a 6K break in 11 minutes leaving Ian an outside chance in the second but not to be so honors even)
I don't have the scores, but that 4-2 both weeks :)

Thanks for the table comments Jon.
I thought Ian was short of a win, you had 8 min when he pegged it... Woukd expect you to catch 7 but not 8...

simple really, everyone is playing everyone now so you can put all the tables together and use that list to seperate the teams. Obviously if the players change significantly you take that into account.
