Hi all
After speaking to Lucy over the last few days (Lucy is REALLY good at pool btw) she has been really helpful with all this. I would suggest we put a start time on this of 10am to ensure we get the games played? I really doubt that everybody on the list is turning up but if they do we are looking at starting in a round of 32 (with byes) and are basically looking at that anyway. We only really have 3 hours.
How long do best of 3 frame games take? 20 minutes at the higher end? So we would need 4 tables and be able to play best of 3 in the time frame. Maybe make the final best of 5 if we have the time.
Can"t see the group thingy working tbh unless somebody can suggest of a way of doing it within the time frame.

Never been into a Rileys but assuming it works the same as other pool/snooker clubs, can we not just start with as many tables as we need and close them off as the numbers come down?
AMRN:
Some calcs on timings below, based on 32 players in a straight knockout, with all matches as best of three (assumed 2.5 frames per match average).
Pools of 4 would be tough if all 32 turned up and we would need at least 6 tables to get through in under 3 hours, based on each match being only 1 frame all the way to the final.
This is worst case scenario - timings would decrease with any byes.
Have assumed 10 minutes per frame (should be ample, and would include a bit of contingency or arguing time)
Remember, this is only a gap fill event before the poker - in two to three hours, we"re always going to struggle to make it an exceptional event with lots of play for everyone.

is there any golf, of any variety, or bowling, of the ten pin variety going to happen do we think?

I think we might organise some last minute 10-pin-bowling.
