    Optional high break sweep, entry £5
    Final will be recorded and posted on You Tube
    Please, no football shirts.
    You may bring your own food and drink. What a refreshing change!
    You may arrive at 10.30am for some practice but as we are a 2 table venue and there will be six players per day we suggest a bit of co-operation - or failing that a quick arm wrestle to decide who gets to warm up first.
    Some food for thought - if 24 players enter, first prize is £840 and runner up gets £240. Losing a semi and getting nothing is harsh; but to attract players a rather big carrot is required, and anyway a guaranteed 15 frames in top match conditions against some tough opposition is not something to be sniffed at if you are serious about testing yourself.

    Folks, drag yourselves away from the beach, barbecues and general summer laziness and come and pit your skills against some fine East Midlands talent. We are having table 1 recovered on Monday to go along with the excellent table 2. The Jammie Dodgers are on order and the Simulator is warming up nicely.

    See you there!

        Hi Tony,

        Could do with a few more to be honest but I understand it's Summer time and this is the first comp se we are a bit unproven. But I'm sure you'll vouch for me!

        Get your entries in and let's make this a success for The Baulk Line and a very lucrative tournament for one skilled snooker player!

          Good luck with your tournament. You have a great
          snooker room and I wish something like that would
          catch on here.

            Thank you Robert. I am having table 1 recovered tomorrow in anticipation of the tournament. There's nothing quite like a new cloth or a freshly cut green...
