Cyril Stringer Snooker Cup 2010

Rules for Snooker Doubles Competition 2010
The competition is for groups of 8 players.

Players will play one match with each of the other seven members of their group against other members of their group as per the draw.

House rules will apply in group matches.

Each match will last for 30 minutes or one frame whichever occurs first. In the event of the frame not being completed at the end of the time, all of the players will have one more turn. (Including the player currently playing if they have played a stroke).

The two players with the highest number of points will represent their group in the finals (in the event of a player not being available to play in the knock out stages the third player may take their place).

Each player will receive the following number of points for each match they play in their group.

Winners 3 points
Losers 1 point
Drawn 2 Points

In the event of two or more players having the same number of points after all matches are played, then the total number of points they and their partners scored in all frames minus those scored against them in all frames will decide placings in a “goal difference” style. In the event of a tie the “points scored” will be the decider.

All Group matches MUST be completed by Friday 29th January 2010.

It is the responsibility of the CAPTAIN of each Group to ensure that all matches are played to the rules and that all scores are recorded accurately and passed to Keith or Gerry along with the entry fees collected.
