Here is what you all have been waiting for so patiently!!

There are 222 entrants in the main competition so that means that 34 lucky people are straight through into round 2.

So I guess Lorin, fearing defeat against Sav and Nick Barnett, hedged his bets and entered twice? Or is an edit in order? ;)

[lemon]

Well spotted CraigC, will sack my proof readers!!

Apologies to Jason Clough, who is partnering Paul Olver.

If an admin guy can change my post, please do so

Will change the draw sheets now.

[Chris_Sav]

Have just got back from Reading having crashed and burned :'(

The draw in rough sheet format is uploading now onto the AEBBA site. I'll tidy it up after dinner if needed.

Prior to printing, go into page set-up, set all margins to zero and remove any title your browser wants to give it and set orientation to lansdscape.

Good draw for me as usual!! full of decent Jerseymen (and Nick Barnett) plus Walshy, Pauline etc.

[Secretary J.B.B.L.]

Well....... I did say that Series D (Death) & H (Hell) would be rather interesting!

However, saying that, any series this years tends to be rather tough.


Good Luck to one and all. Graeme & myself; among many, many others have hopefully covered everything. If we haven't, I'm sure you will all have great pleasure in saying if we have missed something.

Also, as it is the first year at the Ommaroo I shall be issuing a 'comments' post after the competition to see if people think anything could be improved. Please feel free to add your comments if your genuinely feel things could be changed for the better.

See you all very soon
Sean

I'm in the series of death. :(

C'est le vie.

Just take lots of armour with you then ! ;D

Now seriously does each series play down to one winner so that winner D1 plays winner D2 and so on to get one person in the quarters from each series ?

There are some nice pairings in the doubles and does that work the same way ?

[Secretary J.B.B.L.]

Hi Beefy,

Thats correct, each game plays down so as you say, D1 winner shall play D2 winner etc etc. Doubles is the same as well.

Once the end of the card is reached the winner of card 5 should play winner of card 6 etc etc

See you there.

Sean

I guess it is "beefy's" first visit to Jersey then. Enjoy!

No not this time, I am in the US visiting my brother in Texas and yep its still over 70 there can't wait its bloody freezing here at the moment.

Its a long way to go for potentailly one game and in my case almost certainly one game unless I got a good draw as this is a bit of fun for me a 6K break is a big achevement. Given my averages are not more than 4000 in the league its a break from playing pool which in comparison I am much better at but then if you play a game for nearly 20 years you should be good - right.

Don't think I will ever play in a world championships at Pool though the number of people playing is so much bigger but would be nice to say I played in the world championships one day so who knows I might at some stage in the future give this a go.

[beefy]

Does anyone have a key to the abbreviations in brackets which I guess are the leagues people play in ?

[milhouse]

beefy said:

They are the counties they are from.

Not always counties, Mark. Sometimes the League is named instead.
For instance, I (and others in my party) are down as 'Sus' for Sussex, whereas there are also 'Bri' and 'Hor' which are leagues in Sussex.
Likewise, there are 'Sur' for Surrey and 'Red' which is the league in Surrey.
I'll have a go at a definitive list for Beefy, but Jersey normally put a Key on the official drawsheet when it comes out anyway.

Okay, here goes,
J = Jersey
Gu = Guernsey
Counties
Sus = Sussex
Sur = Surrey
Kent = Kent
Hants = Hants
Berks = Berkshire
Oxon = Oxfordshire
Bucks = Buckinghamshire
Lincs = Lincolnshire
Nthnts = Northants (no entries)
Cambs = Cambridgeshire (no entries)
Leagues
Bri = Brighton (Sus)
Pom = Portsmouth (Hants)
Wor = Worthing (Sus)
Med = Medway (Kent)
DD = Dover & Deal (Kent)
Rea = Reading (Berks)
Eyn = Eynsham (Oxon)
Wok = Wokingham (Berks)
Hor = Horsham (Sus)
Mid = Mid Sussex (Sus)
Red = Redhill (Sur)
Wal = Wallingford (Oxon)
Lit = Littlehampton (Sus)
NFA = no fixed abode (ie a pairing mixed from two leagues)

I have noticed a slight discrepancy - the Tonys Walsh and Martin and Myra Hawkins are all down as Red (Redhill) whereas we all know they are from Rea (Reading).

Trust this helps,
tommo

[fazza]

I find myself pointing out the difference between Redhill and Reading EVERY blooming year.

Believe me, there are many more alterations to be made to county and league representations.

[lemon]

Tommo and Pete,

Many thanks Tommo for explaining the abbreviations, as you have them correct and saved me the job.

I apologise to all those who have misplaced in the draw, sometimes it is lack of information, sometimes it is ignorance on my behalf, or sometimes just a slip of the fingers.

I was nearly right with the 2 Tonys as got them right in the pairs, but have changed them in the draw sheets now. If Pete has finished the painting (or anyone else who has spotted my errors) wishes to point them out in the next couple of days I shall make sure that they are corrected for next weekend.

Seven days of panic

Graeme

[Sparky]

Monsieur Lemon ;D

You are not wrong to put Mid-Sussex (League) players as Sussex (County) but wondered why so this year, especially as Horsham/Bri etc players are still shown by their leagues. Incidentally I know that I put all 6 of my group of MS players down as Mid-Sussex on the forms and notice that only 1 out of 12 MS players show as MID (no offence Mary :)).

It's not that important, I just wondered why?

[lemon]

Sparky,

You are correct in what you say, and I can only apologise as when the forms came in and I put the names onto the entry list, I put down "Sus" in the where from column and not "MS" cannot think why as "MS" would have saved time!!

Have found 11 of the 12 and changed them, your 6, the Halls and Darrell Skinner, but who is number 12?

Lemon by name and in this case lemon by nature!!

Graeme

Graeme

The other one who comes to mind is Andy Farmer-Wright, who plays in Lewes and Mid Sussex.

Cheers, tommo

[Sparky]

Thanks Graeme

No offence taken so apology not necessary but welcome, and Tommo is right that I assumed Andy F-W would have entered as MS because he used to.

See you very soon
Graham

[fazza]

Bit of time later today and will carry out your request, Graeme!

But please don't think I was criticising. You have my undying sympathy for undertaking this task which will be multiplied this year with the extra tables, and extra tournament.

I heard BRIAN Clough was going to make a spooky appearance after misreading the draw!

Thanks I worked out some of them but was a little bit out, some 200 miles in fact, with BRI yep I thought it was Bistol as I was working on counties but came to the conclusion some must be leaagues when EYN stated appearing in the list.

It quite funny really the geographical representation is the South East yet just like in America its still called the World Championships ! just like in Baseball.

Good luck to everyone will anyone be posting updates whilst the tournament is on ?

But unlike the American baseball, anyone can enter these World Championships! The baseball is only open to the US teams.

[MID]

Milhouse I am just trying to work out how Toronto is in the US, thought the Toronto Blue Jay's were in Canada myself!

Toronto Blue Jay's WON the 1992 and 1993 Baseball World Series!

So I guess its not just open to US teams! :)

[fazza]

Your intelligence has been much missed on the forum, Mary.

I can confirm that Toronto certainly WAS not in USA when I was there in 2000, but I haven't been reading much news lately, so I could have missed the transfer.
