lol, ooops! Thought I"d heard that name somewhere before!... :-*
Right, I"ve just heard from Vauxhall Recreation Centre, and they"ve offered the following (it"s all they have availability-wise):
4 tables from 10.05am to 11.55am.
So, I"m just going to rejig everything now so we make most use of those tables.
Matt D:
Okay, it"s possible, but everyone is going to have to turn up on time and be ready and in position to play at 10.05 exactly!...
Here"s the Math:
Group stages
4 groups of 4 = 16 players.
Everyone plays Best of 3.
6 matches per group x 2.5 average sets per match = 15 sets per group.
60 sets in total over group stage (4 groups of 15 sets).
Time: 240 minutes (60 sets x 4 mins per set).
Total time: 60 minutes for group stages (240 minutes divided by 4 tables)
Top 2 from each group stage progress to:
Quarter Finals
8 players left = 4 matches to play
4 matches * 2.5 sets (on average) = 10 sets.
Time: 40 minutes (10 sets x 4 mins per set).
Total time: 10 minutes for Quarter Finals (40 minutes divided by 4 tables)
QF winners progress to:
Semi Final
4 players left = 2 matches to play
2 matches * 2.5 sets (on average) = 5 sets.
Time: 20 minutes (5 sets x 4 mins per set)
Total time: 10 minutes for Semi Finals (20 minutes divided by 2 tables)
SF winners progress to:
Final
2 players left = 1 match
1 match * 5 sets max. (we"ll play best of 5 in the final) = 5 sets.
Time: 20 minutes (5 sets x 4 mins per set)
Total time: 20 minutes for Final
Overall time:
60 + 10 + 10 + 20 = 100 minutes = 1 hour 40 minutes. We have the tables booked for 1 hour 55 minutes, so that gives us a small window for anything over-running.
Matt D:
Though, it might make more sense to run the group stages to:
Group stages
4 groups of 4 = 16 players.
Everyone plays 2 sets versus each other (1 point per set won).
6 matches per group * 2 sets per match = 12 sets per group.
48 sets in total over group stage (4 groups of 12 sets).
Time: 192 minutes (48 sets * 4 mins per set).
Total time: 48 minutes for group stages (240 minutes divided by 4 tables)
That would make the total time:
48 + 10 + 10 + 20 = 88 minutes = 1 hour 28 minutes. (gives us more time in the event of delays, which are probably pretty likely?)....
Will make a final decision and post on a new thread (this one is way too long now! :) ) later today.
Matt D:
Entry fee is going to be £10 per player, and will be spent thus:
£70 hire of tables.
£30 special trophy for winner.
£40 winner of tournament.
£20 second place.
I wonder if Des will put any added value in? :D
