Looking forward to another great weekend over in Jersey, which I am sure will be as well organised as always.

The only thing that disappoints me about the new format is this....

Saturday

Last 64 (Main) (Double games) - 8.35pm to close

.... I think that any player that qualifies from their group to reach the Last 64 should be playing on the Sunday morning rather than the Saturday night and really hope that the organisers will consider changing that so that at some stage in the future so the first round of Plate games could be played on the Saturday night instead.

[Secretary J.B.B.L.]

All,

With a last minute reconfiguration and after taking into account feedback from various bar billiard players we shall again this year be playing the Last 64 on Sunday morning.

Full details to follow in the coming hours.

Great to see some of you over already and on the practice tables!

Sean

Hi

As a novice to the world championship I am confused about the change to the schedule. Last year we came for the 1st time and did not realise(our mistake) that there was a plate competition and had to pull out as we had flights home on the Sunday PM.

This year we were looking to playing over the 3 days. We don't expect any of our players to get out of the group stages so was looking forward to playing on Sunday. The question is why the change at this short notice???

As a novice player the format suits us. By changing it this means that the novice players probably wont play on the Sunday and takes away the fun from coming along and I don't think it encourages people to stay around.

Sorry to moan at the start of the tournament but don't see the logic.

Stormin' -

me and tommo thinks dinners more important !

[Secretary J.B.B.L.]

Hi Hoppo,

Many thanks for raising the question and we appreciate your feedback. Please do come and introduce yourself tomorrow to me as it would be good to meet you (and your group) to explain our decision in person. I will be at the Merton from approximately 9.30am until about 1.00pm and then from 5.00pm until the bitter end!

The rationale for the change is to bring back the much loved 'Last 64' on the Sunday morning, this was a firm fixture for about 30 years until we changed it a couple of years ago. We changed it initially to see if we could keep more people in attendance on the Saturday evening, however, this didn't seem to work, in fact, it was totally the opposite. A few other ideas were discussed but this seemed to 'fit' the best due to the number of entrants.

It is always good to hear of new attendees and would welcome further feedback from you and everyone else in a bid to mould the tournament as best as possible for everyone.

Of course, if you so wish, please do PM me if you want to discuss something outside of the forum.

Sean
