We may need to open up some extra tables, just spoken to a couple of guy"s who know a lot about running pool tournaments and playing them (both are top 5 players in Wales) and they reckon that doing this with 4 tables in 3 hours should be no problem at all. I doubt it will be hard to open a couple of extra tables if we need too though.
Steve, question for you. I didn"t know that Black Ball rules were not used in England (until Lucy told me last weekend), as most of the people in this event are from England do you think it would be better to change to World Rules as constantly having to check on the rules will eat up time.

I don"t think it makes that much difference to be honest - we could use Uncle Tom Cobley"s APAT rules, so long as whichever rules are used are published on here in advance, and have a copy printed and to hand on the day.
I don"t know enough pool rules to say whether Black Ball is better than World Rules.... I"m just aware that rules seem to differ dependent on which pub I"m in, and what day of the week it is, and as a result there always seems to be arguments about rules. I"m sure Lucy can advise....

There will always be arguments over rules. Based on that, The main bonus of playing world or epa rules is that rileys promotes them and there should be copies of them on the walls. Also, i kno them inside out, as will the staff at rileys, so arguments would be resolved with a fair amount of consistency an speed...just a thought. I shall ring today an initially i will ask for 5 or 6 tables from 10am on xxx

As long as you still get 2 shots on the black in the event of a foul I"m happy!

Nice one Lucy
As for World Rules, I have an idea of these rules but don"t really know them, but should be able to learn them by Friday.
Gonna go for a game tomorrow to try and get use to playing them, the two visits and no open table after a foul will confuse me though *lol*.
