Breaking news

11/3/02- Last nights Team quarter finals were won by Squirrel A, Squirrel B and Saxon. Still awaiting the other result. The Squirrel A had a bit of a fright coming from 2-3 down, eventually winning 5-3.

In the Singles KO quarter finals, I got through a close match with Karl Brown, who called a foul on himself on match ball. I couldn't see it from where I was stood, and I can only applaude Karl for his actions. It's what I've come to expect from the league in terms of the sportsmanship and fair play. And I thank Karl for that.

Mark Singleton had a brilliant run in the England trials last Friday, winning 5 straight matches and only dropping 2 frames. He only had one more match to win, but just couldn't get over the line to make the squad. It was an superb effort and I'm sure that he'll get more chances in the future. With that in mind, it was a turn up for the books when John Carswell beat him 3-2 last night in the singles KO. He then went on to show that it wasn't a fluke and beat Glen McKay 3-1, to go through to the semis. Well done John.

Derbyshire Interleague 2010

The first 2 matches have been a bitter disappointment. I'd like to give you a run down on the highlights, but there wasn't any. I think we'll be bottom of the league when the table appears. We're much better than that and WILL qualify for the finals. I know my team and the backlash will come. Brace yourself Derbyshire.

Loss of frame rules

18/2/10- RULES- Just so that there is no confusion, if a player plays a deliberate foul shot, the penalty is loss of frame. (NO warning needs to be given.) See rule D below.

The decision lies with the referee and the referee alone. If there is any dispute, it should be dealt with through the Captains in discussion with each other. Any issues can normally be dealt with by replaying the frame/ ringing me/ bringing the matter to the monthly meeting for a ruling to be made by the attending representatives.

 

  1. If a player pockets the 8 ball (black) before all the balls in their own group, except on the break (see rule 4(D)), the player loses the game.

  2. A player going in off the 8 ball (black) when the 8 ball (black) is pocketed, loses the game.

  3. A player pocketing the 8 ball (black) and any other ball on the same shot will lose the game. Except following a foul when only the 8 ball (black) and ball(s) of the opponents group are on the table, then with the first shot of the first visit, the player may legally pocket the 8 ball (black) as well as ball(s) of the opponent's group by any combination and in any order.

  4. A player who clearly fails to make any attempt to play a ball of their own group will lose the game.
