Ron Sheridon has a bye

How does this one work out, Bob, are you having more byes in Round Two ?

With 11 competitors you normally have 3 matches and 5 byes - exactly as you have done it for the Senior Singles.

Not intending to criticize, only asking as I'm getting my page ready for the website.

hi tommo yes your correct i wasnt paying any attention to this im afraid as i couldnt enter the comp ;) but will be sorted tonight when 3 mid sussex players will be at the stouthouse to make a fair draw

[Ros]

How did you work out the venues?

In the past these have always been drawn.

I see that Hurst has 2 of the 6 fixtures in the Men's Singles, surely the last fixture should have been at the Fish, Horn's Lodge or St Francis?

It seems odd that Hurst has 4 ties in total, the Fish doesn't have any and the Bells, Horns Lodge and St Francis only have 1 each.

[bobhall]

Everything was done through a randomiser app and I felt this was a fair way. It will mean 8 bells fish and others will be used in next round  All venues are neutral

[Ros]

I see.

But surely each venue should only be used once for a particular competition eg. the Men's Singles?

I clearly remember that Lorraine used to put each venue number aside after using it, before putting them all back into the draw for the next competition. So I would suggest that if your randomiser app picks a venue for a second time in any one competition, that you should redraw until it picks a different one.

Looking at your original email, both the 2 fixtures that were originally drawn for the Greyhound, were replaced with Hurst after the Greyhound table became unavailable. That doesn't seem very random.

For anyone confused by Boball's randomiser app, no this does not mean he's a randy miser LOL.
My research shows that he's employing the integers of Pi, thus,  3.14159265359    where obviously 5 = the Hurst Club.
Other theories are welcome, but at least it's a fairer system than if he were using Binary ! ;)

Have submitted an update showing the amended draw to the MSBBL website:

Shaun and Annette beat Darrell and Marion last night.

[iang]

Chase 1 Iang 3

We left the Plough 1 game each then I won both at Hurst.
Thanks to Darren for prepping the Plough table & scoring the games

[Ros]

Neil and Ros beat Mick and Andy Guy on Tuesday.

Neil and Andy F-W are booked to play their match next Tuesday.

[neilh (R.I.P.)]

After an interesting drive  :o I beat Andy 3 - 0 tonight in the Senior Singles. 2 scrappy games and 1 half-decent, all of which I won narrowly.

[H]

I beat Derek 2-0 on Horns Lodge this evening. 1.5k - 1.3k and 2.7k -2.4k. Eugh.

Still need to get hold of Geoff - time is a luxury I've not had of late
