2010 Nottingham Grand Prix
Event 3, Sunday 21st March at Pegasus Snooker Club, Arnold.
Just a reminder that Event 3 of the Nottingham Grand Prix takes place this coming Sunday (21st March) at Pegasus Snooker Club, Arnold. Registration from 10:15am - 11am, £15 entrance fee.
Having listened to peoples views on the format i'm pleased to announce that we are ditching the group format which some found a little long winded and going for a straight knockout with a plate competition for all 1st & 2nd round losers. The main competition will now be the best of five frames from the 2nd round, whilst the Plate competition will be the best of three frames.
The reason i plugged for groups originally was to offer players at least 3 matches for their entrance fee and I am pleased to announce that this will still be the case despite the changes due to a 2 frame 'Ranking Match' being added to the day. Upon arrival and registration rather than standing around waiting for the draw to take place you will get to play someone of a similiar standard/handicap in a 2 frame 'Ranking Match' which will offer 250 ranking points per each frame won....Think of it as a warm-up match before the main event starts but with the added bonus of potentially an extra 500 ranking points! Please note that registration has been moved to the slightly earlier time of 10:15am to accomodate this warm-up match and although registration doesn't close until 11am the latest a ranking match can start will be 10:45am so make sure you get to the venue in plenty of time.
I have also plotted the two knockout competitions from 16-32 competitors so there will be no more waiting around for draws to be made which also slowed things down a little last time out.
Handicaps for Event 3 as follows:
All New Players (+14)
Scratch: Chris Winter
+7: Ashley Walker, Danny Castel-Nuovo, Jimmy Gratton, Wayne Martin, Chris Brooks.
+14: Nav Hussain, Stuart Ross, Martyn Taylor, Steve Butler, James Moore, Jason Stockton, Dave Bolton, Gavin Shirley, Stewart Crosswell, Jamie Sampson, Zed Zubair.
+21: Malc Belshaw, Lee Crombie, James Booth, Mike Langdon, James Notman, Sean Croft, Ken Michell, Daniel Norton, Jordan Parnham, Zeb Ahmed, Yasin Abbas, Rick Worrall.
I look forward to seeing you all this coming Sunday.
Can't wait
