[Baillie, Stevie]

Draw now posted to site.

[Baillie, Stevie]

I wont be there on Sunday mate.

Going down to Crucible tomorrow on the Bus Trip with the kids, back tomorrow night, then back to Sheffield on Sunday morning - working the Cue Zone for World Snooker - through to Thursday.
Another week off college, but taking the books down with me for HOTEL STUDY!
:rolleyes:

[Boyle, Mark]

True Richy, Its really easy to boost numbers, i think its about time we had a big shake up on how tourny's are run!
It was an embaressment today! In my opinion anyway. But i dont blame the players, it costs alot of money just to turn upto tourny's for virtually no reward for 98% of the people that enter.

Richy, did you get my email mate?:)

[Baillie, Stevie]

Prize money defo back next season - as explained at AGM.

Loads more improvements on the cards given the hindsight of this season.

[Baillie, Stevie]

You'll be pleased to note that all issues will be addressed and improved for next season.

[Boyle, Mark]

Draws on the day are the way forward!!

Have the tourny over a weekend. Maybe? Not 3 or 4 weeks. Ie last 64, 32 and 16 on the sat, then rest of the tourny on the sunday. People might make a wee weekend of it, say if we goto Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh.

Q. How many refs/TD's does it take to run a tourny just now?
Do they still get paid?

[Bennett, John]

See the old chestnut draws on the day and all that stuff has raised its head again i would ask do we have anyone wishing to do TD if draws are done on the day so that the refs can ref rather than having to try and ref and do TD.

I think some of the players should have a go at being TD, which club can take a top 64 event with draws being made on the day ,how long would it take to get through all the matches if say 56 players turned up and remember the matches are the best of 7 frames.:)

Its not difficult Pat, you have a closing date, say 2 weeks before the event and if the numbers are large enough you split them over 2 dates, then the players are told which date they are playing and when they turn up on the day the draw gets made, any no shows, no problem, no one getting 2 byes while others go home. Pretty much as it is done at the moment only the players don't know who they are playing till they get there and the draw is done. This also puts an end to any allegations of draws being fixed and adds a little excitement to the days snooker.

[Hutchison, David]

draws on the day can still be mucked up ,as was the last masters draw, no draws on the day for me thanks.

[McLeod, Thomas]

a hink a:-

ANTHONY MCGILL Vs MARK BOYLE final

sorry to say mark but its just the way anthony's playing just now, i think the final score will be...:-

ANTHONY MCGILL 6 - 2 MARK BOYLE

:o ;)

[Hutchison, David]

:o ;),,,thomas ,your probably a bit young to bet but i will give anybody 10/1 it wont be 6-2, except burnett and macguire ,theyre barred.

[Higgins, Patrick]

So John we do 2 draws one to see what week they play then 1 on the day of the toury ,Mark refs or TDs don,t get paid thats why you see the same refs at the events ,at some events there will be 1TD and maybe 2 refs if you are lucky .It can be a long day as TD maybe we will get some players to do it next season.

I don,t think players did not turn up because there was no prize money after all they where the ones that voted for it and the players who would be more than likely to win the money where there, yourself included Mark ,most of the players that play are not playing for the money they are playing hoping to get into the teams that go on international duty to represent their country the money is secondary.:)

Correct Pat, if there are enough entries, surely that is better than 1 player playing 1 match to get to the quarter finals and another playing 3.
Pat you are also correct in saying that the members who turned up for the AGM voted for no prize money, but they did also vote for draws being done on the day and in my opinion were misled as to how much would be contributed to international funding.
I also agree with you, that prize money or lack of it was the sole reason for such a poor turnout, maybe you can shed some light on the reason(s) you think the turnout was so poor, not only in this event but in all events in all categories.

Its pretty pointless this season! The people that dont have a chance in making the team events dont bother turning up. Whats the point of going to a tourny!?!

Even when you make the team events it costs you an arm and a leg!!
No funding from the entry money took at the satart of the season.

Who are we representing......Scottish Snooker or our JOB that pays us to go?

Pat...must be good to have a few bob;)

This is clearly not the case Pat, as the home international mens team had to go to position 29 on the ranking list to field a team, suggesting that 21 players were either unwilling or unable to take part.

[Boyle, Mark]

Pat you will never send the best players to International events unless Scottish Snooker cover all costs. We will never compete with teams from England, Ireland and Wales.

Think we are the only country that the players pay the entry fee (£50) for entering IBSF and EBSA events.
Then we all have flights, hotel, bus transfers.

We all love playing for our country, but at a cost.....

[Cruickshanks, Bobby]

i agree with mark 100%, it justs costs to much!

[Scott, Willie]

.......The people that dont have a chance in making the team events dont bother turning up. Whats the point of going to a tourny!?!......



I agree with most of what you have said Mark apart from the above.

I only joined the SSL a few weeks ago. I played in the Masters National Tournament with no hope of making the team events. I joined and played in it because:
A) I just turned 40 in time :)
B) I love the game and love the buzz of playing good players and
C) Because I wanted a wee bit of experience in that environment before signing up for the whole of next season.

May well do Hutchie. Don't think I would stand much of a chance against young Anthony if I were to draw him :) Bit out of my league I'm afraid.

Back in the day I may have won a frame or two but nowadays......me thinks not :)

[Dunbar, Scott]

I think , when entry do get put in next season take national monies aside , but agree that at agm how much funding . this is very important that we send the best we have playing for our country at all times . personaly i wish i was going this year , but all my opponents turned up ...

1. It sounded good at the time!

2. Never.....

[Scott, Willie]

Very poor turn out today! I win 1 match and it puts me in the quarters, thats how a National tourny should'nt be!
Need to do a radical review of how they are run...
Total waste of a day!:(

Any ideas from people, what would make it better?

Hi Marky,

Just had a brain wave. I know it is late but just woke up and WOW this may seem really radical, but, how about a mail to EVERYONE on the SSL to remind them that there is a tourney due now and again?
I know that the draw is posted before hand but they will see their name there. If they do not turn up then I would suggest a back to school approach.
I would suggest they gotta let the SSL know in advance why they will not be there. Not a case of doctors notes but if they don't turn up at all then dock points from their rankings or some sort of discipline. Yeah the money has been paid in advance by those who are due to play but is it fair to you or those who have turned up nice and early. Me thinks not.
Maybe get forced to play you or Anthony and pick the balls out until their arms are numb.:)

Cheers

Willie

Willie,,willie players pay £200 QUID UP FRONT AT START OF THE SEASON, they get a letter saying when the touraments are taking place ,where and when, its also put up in black and white on the website, so if they dont want to turn up its up to them, the only one that needs reminding is me ,because i usually get a ban now and again, the only other thing we could do is hire a double decker bus and go and pick them up at the house ,yeah just like the school bus eh.

[Boyle, Mark]

,,,mark this is how to spell amateur, maybe you should check all the cards in your shop just in case they have the wrong spelling, you never know ,you might sell more if the spellings correct.

Sorry dave i dont make the cards, just sell them. Cant spell so maybe i can hire you. Beats running away from them neds with all them leaflets in your man bag.:p

See you on sunday night mate:)

[Higgins, Patrick]

Mark and the money that was used to help fund the players came from fundraising done by a few members it did not come from the money the players paid for their tournaments .:cool:

[Boyle, Mark]

Mark and the money that was used to help fund the players came from fundraising done by a few members it did not come from the money the players paid for their tournaments .:cool:

Yeah Pat, we all know that! So where is all the money that the MEMBERS paid at the start of the season!
Thought it was for the players that go on International duty to represent Scottish Snooker? or was it all to cover unpaid bills that we still owed from last year?

[Cruickshanks, Bobby]

yes thats what we were told!! it was for funding! nothing to do with paying off debts!!!!!!!:mad:

[Collumb, Michael]

any money that is raised via fundraising will be put towards funding players for international tournaments but all the entry money and membership money that hd been paid upfront in good faith by the members cya!!!

this is one of the reason for players not turning up for tournaments stuff like this lol makes you laugh it really does

[Collumb, Michael]

cant believe that if you win the national this year there will be no prize money. crazy move to make it pay on the day but no prize money its hardly going to make people want to join during the season its got to be both or none

[Collumb, Michael]

Yeah Pat, we all know that! So where is all the money that the MEMBERS paid at the start of the season!

If it was then they werent showed on this years accounts

[Baillie, Stevie]

Couple of tons banged in today at The National Championship.

1. Michael Leslie - 104 Vs Mark Wilding
2. Anthony McGill - 100 Vs Paul Murphy

The Young Guns are at it again !

[Baillie, Stevie]

Anthony McGill now stands just two wins from turning professional this year.

Anthony is presently playing Cumbernaulds Gary Hendry in the Last 16, Gary has been in fine form today with two wins uder his belt.
Gary has it all to play for also.
With a place on the Home International Team looming for him this season.

If Anthony does win today and goes on to win his Quarter Final next week, then that would put him over the Hill from the chasing Mark Boyle.

It's all getting tense this season.
Get yourself along to the Masters next week for what is shaping up to be a great day's Snooker!

CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE:
If Mark Boyle was to win this years National, then Anthony would need to win his Quarter AND Semi Final matches to definetly secure the No.1 Spot.
If he lost either and Mark did hold on to HIS National Title then he would take the No.1 Spot.

Although, I think we should all show a wee bit more respect and notice of the OTHER 6 combatants still left in the 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

All that remains is to "GET THE BOYS ON THE BAIZE" !

[Boyle, Mark]

Anthony needs only to win his quarter final tie to secure the No.1 spot and along with it the coveted WSA MAin Tour spot for season 2009/10.

Mark Boyle on the other hand, would require Anthony to lose his Last 8 Match, and for him to go on and lift the National Trophy to bag himself the 200pts required to overtake Anthony


Steve, does Ants not need to get to the final to finish No1? Thats IF i get to the final too.:)

[Boyle, Mark]

The way Scottish Snooker is going there will be no main tour place, just like all the other things that were meant to happen this season:rolleyes:

[Collumb, Michael]

na thats prob the 1 thing that guarenteed too far marky lol

if there was to be no tour place can open worms everywhere lol

[Hutchison, David]

The way Scottish Snooker is going there will be no main tour place, just like all the other things that were meant to happen this season:rolleyes:,, dont be silly mark their could even be 2 main tour places next year as JH has just won the world championship and well done john your are a credit to our nation, the co-efficient should give us two places on the main tour next year as we are the best snooker players in the world , stevie if you read my post properly it is 100% correct, what do points make ,well you do get any prizes for guessing correctly. and by the way i had a small wager on the HIGG to win 18-9 at 15/2 as well as backing him twice at 11/2 and 7/2. not often someone beats the bookie eh mr mc crudden.

[Hutchison, David]

na thats prob the 1 thing that guarenteed too far marky lol

if there was to be no tour place can open worms everywhere lol,,,heard your playing well mick ,you could be the guy to upset the apple cart ,imagine getting your name on that big trophy bud ,youve came along
way since i pumped you a couple of years ago.

[Hutchison, David]

The way Scottish Snooker is going there will be no main tour place, just like all the other things that were meant to happen this season:rolleyes:,,if you beat jason mark your straight into the final as young eden wont make it as he is away to wales next week to play in another event ,cant remember what it is .

[Baillie, Stevie]

Mark,

My apologies to all for getting your points for event 5 mixed up with those who missed the event due to Russia.
You ARE 100% correct 520pts is the most you can achieve this season then.
Sorry for the confusion folks.

Got my head in college books the past few weeks.
Need to come up for Air soon.
Roll on 10th June - End of Term!

[Boyle, Mark]

Dont know how you do it all mate, your head must be like a jigsaw!
Good luck with the stuff in the real life;)

[Boyle, Mark]

It's as bad as mine:p,,no mark didn,t get it back ,got squared up with insurance ,so bought another one, yeah i know my spelling is bad, the reason being is when i went to school the teacher always sent me out to pick up the crisp pokes in the playground while the exams were going on ,or maybe take the janitors dog for a walk.

[Hutchison, David]

,,if you beat jason mark your straight into the final as young eden wont make it as he is away to wales next week to play in another event ,cant remember what it is .,,,sorry about this kevin dooley is s tough nut to crack, so whoever plays him beware.

Thought you had to a member of the club in order to play in the Club Championship?

[Hutchison, David]

Thought you had to a member of the club in order to play in the Club Championship?,,,not as far as i know willie, times are changing ,if you are one of the martians from mars you can stiil play in it,as long as you have cue more than 3 foot long .

[Boyle, Mark]

the red triangle club championship takes place this sunday, free entry no prize money ,any one can take part 6.30 pm start.

No prize money this year, so no entry fee, but very nice trophys for the winner and runner up to keep.
Marc Cauldfield won it last year, he beat Drew Burbidge in the final on a quality match table;)

[Scott, Willie]

,,,not as far as i know willie, times are changing ,if you are one of the martians from mars you can stiil play in it,as long as you have cue more than 3 foot long .

If that's the case then no problemo Hutchie. I just don't think that it is right . Should only be members or people who play in the club on a regular basis.

[Hutchison, David]

If that's the case then no problemo Hutchie. I just don't think that it is right . Should only be members or people who play in the club on a regular basis.,,,your right willie ,just spoke to someone who works there ,and it is members only. wouldn,t like john higgins to turn up and lift the trophy would we , or even john brownlie.

[Hutchison, David]

No prize money this year, so no entry fee, but very nice trophys for the winner and runner up to keep.
Marc Cauldfield won it last year, he beat Drew Burbidge in the final on a quality match table;),,,hopefully you wont be able to make it mark as you are fighting for your main tour place, gary hendry gave us a general knowledge question last week,he said who is the only player to beat mark boyle from scratch in all competitions in the last year in the triangle, dont think its rocket science to answer that one eh.
