Virtual bar billiards open 2

[NigelS]

Well done on Matt Jones for winning the first Virtual bar billiards open, and well done for Mike Daw in being plate winner

Thought me might as well do 2nd one as not leaving the house any time soon....

If you entered the last one you are in the next one...free of charge

Millward has entered the fray, it is not off the spot so his rating will be lowered accordingly

You can also opt out just let me know on here.

Will open entries till Sunday night, and the draw can be done Easter Monday

Sleeazy, yes a virtual blind pairs has crossed my mind and we will make that the next tournament, I will draw the pairs at random

Don't worry if there is an odd number, the great Doreen Senior will make up the numbers after all she played in a league match this year so I didnt give away a break using the 4 player rule......she won't even know...

If this goes on long enough we may even have a virtual Grand Prix at the end of it so get your virtual waistcoats ready....

[Q]

Thank you Nigel, of course I'll make the long journey to virtually be there, can I please ask one favour though...
Could you please correct the spelling of my surname, I've had so many virtual paparazzi hanging around after my plate final appearance and it's becoming a chore to keep correcting them.

That's a bit mischievous, Sav, we'd never be able to agree on whose set of rules to play under !!

People watching have got more chance of falling asleep with 3 pin rather than 4 pin and that's coming from someone who has enjoyed scoring as many as I could against my opponent for 46 years.

 Do yo think he's got something against forum management Tony?

If its me and you Sav we will play 4 pin

Now that would be more interesting than watching you bore me to death!, if it's three pin may I have Mr Oakley to score and see if he can stay awake through the tedium?  Mind you Diesel's got to be gentle with me first!

No offence to Craig, but Marmite has far too much luck when he plays for that to ever happen.
