I've just had confirmation from the Secretary that Nottingham have been affiliated. Good , glad to hear it, though I am surprised as a majority vote to accept is required at an AGM under the AEBBA constitution and that did not happen whilst I was there. |

To be fair Sav I dare say everyone present would have voted to accept. Although I do share your surprise. |

In fairness, we were invited to apply by the Chairman after the deadline had passed, so it likely was tacked on at the very end. I'd hope that nobody would oppose expanding the reach of the AEBBA though?

Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know that the initial set of changes to the website have now been completed.
There is still much to do, much more content to be added, there are elements that are unfinished (which I will try to sort today) and I need to correct a few typos too.
Overall you will notice a new look and feel. You'll also notice straight away how obvious it is that we need many more better quality images - as per my other posts. If you can assist with this by sending some through that would be great. I also want to get more on recent event winners across all of the counties - so please send that through too.
The main drivers for the changes have been to create something that is much more engaging to the casual or first time visitor as well as offering some value to existing players (competition entry for example). I think we have so far managed to achieve that.
Best wishes,
Lorin

Hi Lorin, Well, I'll register my approval and appreciation even if no-one else is prepared to !  For those who don't realise, if you're a Firefox user the sub-menu allowing access to rankings, tournament transcripts etc is available by clicking on the three horizontal bars in the top right-hand corner of the welcome screen. Whereas if you use Google Chrome as your search engine, a more familiar-styled menu automatically appears at the top. |

Only 75% ranking points for the Oxford Open, what's that all about ? If it's numbers entered that counts then the Kent Open will not get many points the way it's being run. Milko  |

Milko Not sure what the controversy is here Keith? Opens need to get 50 entries to get the full 100% of ranking points. This has been in place for a few years. Oxon got 47 entries hence the reduction in points this year, Kent had a similar reduction last year. |

But why should players be penalized for Opens not getting 50 players ? If you compare the last three Opens the Runners Up all played FIVE matches but the points were Myself (Ox) 9.8, Mark T (Gu) 12.5 & Matt J (Su) 14.2 so I find it very odd that points are deducted when they played the same amount of games even though there were less players entered!!  |

There has to be a limit somewhere Keith, taking it to the extreme what if an open had 15 players would you still award the maximum amount of points? 50 was the number agreed by the ranking committee for when points would be reduced and reducing by 25% was what we agreed, a further 25% reduction would be if the open didn't reach 35 entries. This may be looked at in the future as average open numbers go down but the counter argument to that is that if the average numbers are lower than maybe opens should carry less points relative to other competitions in the system like county champs etc than they have done in the past. And in the example you have provided you are only quoting one scenario, but there are quite a few other examples where some players will have played 1 or even two more matches to reach the same stage(if comparing Guernsey (72 entries) to Oxon (47 entries). If you started in round 1 of Guernsey you would have to win 7 matches to win the tournament, if you got a bye to round 2 in Oxon you would only have to win 5 matches to win that tournament. So I am not sure players are being penalized, each player is being treated exactly the same way, whereas the tournaments are treated differently depending on what criteria they meet within the ranking system. |

Attention Nigel Senior: ================= Hi Nige, I presume that full responsibility for the AEBBA website has now fallen back into your lap as Tournament Director..... I know that you were maintaining all the Tournament Results and it is a minor miracle that these are so up-to-date considering the amount of work involved.
There is one omission that sticks out like a sore thumb, the 2018 World Championships in Jersey, and I would imagine that their Admin have been unable to provide you with their full file. The Jersey website only displays the closing stages.
I may be in a position to create a compatible file for you: although I don't have all the group (1st round) scores it would show the correct placings and all scores thereafter.
Would you like me to give this a go ?
Regards, tommo

Let me check Hi Nige, same comments apply and my offer also still stands. As well as W/Champs 2018 missing off AEBBA website, I've just become aware that the 2018 Mens County is missing also.
This will really wind John Slee up as I've mentioned it on a new webpage on Surrey, and it was the very year when he had the highest break of the day !!
Cheers, tommo

Any news on an update soon? Curious to see how the County Champs have affected the rankings for Notts players :) Bear with me Joe, i am currently trying to put all the rankings and results together. It is a little complex as some events have happened in the last 3 years some havent so just deleting 2017 & 2018 off the system for some events is probably not appropriate as 2020 and 2021 did not take place. Hopefully you will see some updates before xmas  |

But the whole decimal is used in the calculations. So you will have got 1.04 not 1.0 when the rankings are calculated. |

Ah, so it adds up in the background then, in effect?
Looks like I'd be roughly 270 or so if I slotted into the existing rankings, maybe next year I can overtake San Marino 😆

Some players points have become several decimal places long due to the method used to calculate them. Hopefully I should be able to publish the updated the rankings soon I am just missing one result. |
