If the AEBBA pull out of this tournament (and i can understand why) can you let us know asap as i think the ranking committee would then need to have a meeting to see if this tournament would still warrant ranking points. This could have an affect on numbers..... Hi Mark, I am speaking to committee members as quickly as they are available and we will publish in this thread our approach for next weekend as soon as is practically possible but no later than tomorrow. If there are any implications I’ll let you know - but I doubt there will be. Best wishes, Lorin |

take a chill bean triplex. we're having a discussion so avoid inflammatory openers and lots of exclamation marks. it's a chat alright! sorry - alright. we'll play these new rules next saturday, then discuss them, change them a bit etc and it'll be fine. the 'chat' is the bad side, the good side is that you have made some great moves for the sake of the game and will i hope be applauded for them when the time comes. but it proves a coming of age for AEBBA and after this, say they are your rules and don't claim them to be anyone else's just AEBBA's. We all know that sudbury is the home of 4-pin and has given us a platform. here at the 'Newmarket & Cambridge' we just copied Sudbury's rules. changed one. simple! as for jeremy having no chance, Jeremy, you'll have a better chance, not a poorer chance. I've seen NS and PO try and clear up a mess in 4-pin and it isn't easy. to do the 50/50 or ANY break shot, first you have to clear the table..... as any 4-pinner knows, often, the only break shot is the one that starts the game and I've never had any trouble with that! (oops i mean any trouble with that.) as long as they are allowed to change rules for a one off competition under sub clauses then that's that. in motorcycling they are often called, 'the day rules' and are particular to that quirky track or pit or place. let's just all stand in a circle and give the guy on the left his entrance fee back and be happy taffy Take a chill bean? What are you like 12? Are you for serious? Try coming on here everyday and reading all the rubbish that comes out of some of people’s mouths! Try spending ALOT of your own time to try and arrange competitions for people for it to just be moaned about on this forum! Getting fed up now of hearing the same rubbish every year! There is a select few who need to seriously think what do you do to help the game, and I can tell you the answer nothing, the only thing you do is disrupt it and demoralise those who are trying to bring a historic game to current times! Absolute joke, look forward to hearing some of these opinions when people aren’t behind a keyboard next weekend. |

Then you still go on about the rules..... You obviously never read or understood the point I was making. Well if this is promoting Bar Billiards then hey this will be a sad day for our game!!! Enough said and I'll go back and start playing tiddlywinks but be rest assured I will be reading the rules first. |

And just to clarify that last bit isn’t being threatening it’s just every year at the end of the day everyone says how good it was etc, but then talk differently on here!

This thread is descending into abuse and serving no useful purpose.
The time has come to lock this thread in my opinion until Lorin has an answer from AEBBA.
If Lorin contacts me or any member of staff it will be unlocked for him to reply.
Do not start a new thread before AEBBA are ready to answer.

I’m not opening this new thread to chat again but to ask someone to transfer all the rule gossip on to a different thread and reopen ours back up so we can use it for which it was intended. Updates etc.
Thanks

Fair question.
The opinion of staff thus far is that the next step is down to AEBBA to decide whether there is sufficient benefit from the change in rules to warrant breaching their constitution.
We can wait 24 hours for that decision before discussing what can only be conjecture at this stage.
I'll merge this with the locked thread.

Lorin will post a response as AEBBA Secretary in a new thread this morning. Please refrain from responding and repeating what has already been said or it will be deleted.
