Room booked for Saturday night, lift sorted so no reason not to drink too much beer, big question now is where is the nearest decent curry house.
Have reminded Chris to bring the mushrooms so what time are you starting the 4 pin as you'll need the mushrooms before kick off

Hi Folks, Many thanks for the late entries to this competition, it has most certainly helped - although we are still quite a bit lower in number than was anticipated based on the early commitment shown by the 'Open regulars' when this competition was still at discussion stage. Of course, your 'Get out of jail free' card is that this Open will inevitably clash with summer holidays for some given where it is in the calendar - we expected that to some extent. Anyway, we still have a few hours to accept entries so I thought I would use this opportunity to chase some of those 'Regulars' with a hope of either including them into the draw (which will take place in the coming days) or confirming their non-attendance. Does anyone know anything about whether the following people (who we had down as 'possibles') are able to make it as they are yet to respond on this: KentPete Sainsbury Vinnie Mitchell Richard CorbouldSurreyGary Powell SussexIan LelliottMartin ColeKevin Hall Jean BrackenridgeAlan BrackenridgeRos Appleby - ConfirmedJim GreenstedMartin Smith Denise Wills Rob Jones HantsLee RadfordBarry RadfordTony WebsterBerksDave Alder Phil Hawkins Paul SainsburyBucksMatt JonesOxfordLeon Beer Ian Moss - ConfirmedTony Martin Colin Martin Geoff Powell Phil McFarland NottsPhil Griffin - confirmedPlease respond as soon as possible with any updates on the friends above. Many thanks, Lorin Hi Lorin, If poss could you add me to your list? Rob Jones

So, not over concerned about the three pin as I know I'll get thrashed but our lot are asking about rules for the four pin - The rules will be as per the EA Open with the following changes: Foul shots incurring loss of break score penalty will include:Any ball returning over or obstructing the baulk line. A ball shall be deemed to be obstructing the baulk line if, when viewed from directly above, it obscures any part of the line. The ball should be returned to the rack. - Use of the red, if available, will not be mandated unless the bar has dropped at the end of timed play. Therefore failure to use the Red Ball, if available, during timed play shall not be a foul shot and shall not incur a loss of break score penalty. - At the end of timed play (i.e. the bar has dropped) the following rule shall be applied: If only one ball remains, either in the rack or on the table, the break score should be recorded before the last shot is played. The last ball must then be played from the centre of the "D" into either the 100 or the 200 hole OFF ONE SIDE CUSHION. This is known as the ‘Last ball shot’. Before playing the last ball shot the white skittles should be placed in the 50 holes and the top holes guarded. If the ball strikes a skittle in the 50 hole, and falls into the 100 or 200 hole, the score will not count. Both players should continue to play the last ball shot alternately until the ball is potted or the black peg is knocked down. The tables will be set out as follows (which I believe is consistent with EA rules): - Mushrooms shall be placed (the baulk line side) to cover the 200 hole, the 100 hole, and the two 50 holes and shall be set 6mm from the edge of the hole + or – 1mm - The spot for the red ball for the break shall be halfway between the rim of the 200 hole closest to the baulk line + or - 10mm, and the back edge of the “D” I think these may be the only changes but will double check with the team and post here if required. The rules, in full, will be included within the weekend programme of events. Thanks, Lorin

- The rules will be as per the EA Open with the following changes: --------- Arghhhhh....ANOTHER different set of rules....... I know it seems a pain but this competition does not have any national validation (at this stage, at least) and, as such, we have sought to accommodate the wishes of some 3-pin players who felt that a few of the more harmless anomalous rules could be swapped for 3-pin rules whilst still keeping a strong adherence to the 4-pin game. What I hope we have done is made very minor amendments which do nothing to detract from the overall play of the 4-pin game. Lorin

Hello! I haven't been around these parts for a while, just wanted to drop by to say how pleased we are to have a good number of York players taking part in the Open. I can't make it due to some unexpected family commitments, but I'm hoping to find a replacement entrant from York to take my place. Big thanks to Curt for jogging me along to make sure we got some entrants in there. Very interested to see if any of our fellas can get through their opening tie!
