TSF Yahoo Pool League 2.

[elvaago]

Just played A_G.

She took the first 2 frames completely in RaNeN style, potting everything in sight. Then I got my first chance and took it right away to make it 1-2. In frame 4 I handed her the frame by fouling white with just one ball left on the table even though I started out potting all of my 7 balls in a row. And frame 5 was handed to me by lady luck, the score was now 2-3.

Frame 6 deserves special mention. AG breaks off, I pot 7 balls, she pots 8 balls, end of rame. 2-4.

Frame 7 AG was on fire again and quickly made it 2-5 and finally in frame 8 elvaago showed some good form to only lose 3-5.

Well played by both players, very few mistakes. AG for the final!

Oh dear, I have to play AG next.

AG - I will be busy working long hours for the next 3 days. But will be available any day from next Monday onwards. How are you fixed for playing around 5pm any day next week ?

I think it is a good thing you are not free this weekend Danny, it is my turn first to get my @ss kicked!

Lol, good luck Nina. If you play as well as you did agaisnt me in the first 3 frames I dont think you will do too badly.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I'll let you know how it goes...
Good luck to you too!

Argh, seems like Mr. Vaago has put some pressure on me there. I assure you that I can easily be beaten, as my first three matches nicely show. But I played a total clearance today, so you can never really feel safe unless you pot the black *har har har*.

It also puts pressure on your opponents knowing they could be up against total clearances.

Any idea which day you might be able to play next week ?

[Ellena]

Ellena, we are up next. What times are good for you? Tonight I am playing A_G but I should be able to make it next Monday and Tuesday at around 6 PM CET.

Looking forward to the matches to come!

Just seen this post Elvaago . Sorry for replying late . I believe "next Monday" is tomorrow ... so i will be here 7 pm my time ( which is 6 pm CET). If smth happenes and i cant get here in time tomorrow..we'll leave it for Tues.

Drlog.. we still have a match to play . Same goes for Lee ... hopefuly we'll meet on the forum one of these days.

[elvaago]

That works for me, Ellena. I should be here.

...I think the best thing would be to put it too a vote with each entrant getting a say:

So far we have I believe:

Semis: Elvaago, Dannydog

Sixes: RaNaN, Alex0paul, chasmmi

Quarters:

Tell me if this is inaccurate, (I think its fair to wait a week before concluding the possible vote as DGE is on holiday right now)

Thanks. Back now!

My personal preference is not to have knock-out matches in a league at all. I think that tournaments should either be knock-out or league, but not a mix. It always seems unfair to me that someone can win all his / her matches to finish top of the league, but then lose the tournament by losing one knock-out match to someone who finished lower in the league.

However, if that's not an option, then of the options above I prefer the "semis" option, so that gets my vote.

When Mark Williams dropped out of the Grand Prix, they pretended he never even entered and made all his matches non existent. I vote we do the same here, if Lee doesn't show up.

Having played Lee, I can tell you that he is so brilliant that, if he doesn't show up, the only fair thing would be to assume that he would have won all his unplayed matches 8-0. Because he is so good, anyone who did manage to play him should get quadruple points from that match and quadruple value for any frames won.

That's my vote, anyway!

(PS I think we should wait a few more weeks though.)

[elvaago]

I vote we ignore D_G's vote about Lee. ;-)

[chasmmi]

Just to lewt you all know, Davis Greatest walked out of our match early so I propose to keep to precedent and suggest that he be deducted 900 points, fined 21,000 pounds and warned over future conduct.

[Nina]

LOL, you are nutters!!

Great ideas tho...

I should also mention that in about frame 2 or 3, chasmmi announced "I give up."

When I began my celebrations over an 8-0 win, he started backtracking and claiming that he had not conceded the match at all - but had "given up metaphorically". I propose that he be hauled in front of a disciplinary panel, and then be taken out to lunch with Sir Rodney Walker metaphorically before being given a slap on the wrist by Graeme Dott, metaphorically.
