I think that Jonathan Hayes came with Ben from Atlanta to one of our MOT’s

I might lean on Nepse a little — he’s a very experienced TD 😁😁 thank you for the warning Dennis, I’ll plan on being prepared 👍

I’m going to bring blank cards to write player names in order to do the draws — old school lol. And the cards can be reused as necessary if there are any extra rounds based either on available extra time, or the need to even up match numbers. Plus a large paper grid to write in scores laid out...

I feel like he may have played last year too?? No Pagulayan though, which is a huge shame.

Obviously not the only reason they’re coming lol. You’re uneccesarily dramatic Lou, and if you had spoken up earlier when we were hashing it out, who knows it might already be that way. But at this point I’d say the player’s meeting can handle it — and those would be the one’s actually...

8 players would advance no matter what — all based on records and tie-breakers. Group winners would be automatic, with the rest of the field by records and tie-breakers of the remaining field.

How does this look? 24 players: 6x4 or 4x6 (redraw based on time) 23 players: 3x5 plus 2x4 (with redraw of 8) 22 players: 2x5 plus 3x4 (with redraw of 12) 21 players: 1x5 plus 4x4 (with redraw of 16) 20 players: 4x5 or 5x4 (redraw based on time) The important thing is the lower number groups...

Yes, plus it could be more than one group that had fewer players — say 5,5, 4,4,4 for 22 players — so in that case 12 players would go in that extra round of one game matches to fill out their match count to even up with the others. And if all groups finish say 1:30 in the afternoon — everybody...

If we have uneven group numbers, I would like to have the smaller groups play one extra game (random opponent — but that could be predetermined as the first match that comes up, you play that same player one extra time). This so all players will play the same number of games if possible. If the...

Like I said, I’m fine with a vote at the player’s meeting just in case your sentiment about the 1B1P aspect is the prevailing sentiment. Does that mean you intend to be there or is this just sniping from someone not planning to play anyway? Either way I am fine with a vote however. I did go...

Yes, we will need to track balls scored by both players each game/match during the RR phase. I said groups of 5-6 above but I should have said 4-6, because 4 would be totally fine too. We might have time to do more than one flight of groups — as long as everyone plays the same number of matches...

We don’t know the player numbers yet. Seems like single games we can rotate more or less as needed so everyone plays all day and plays as many different members as possible. Single games in round robin format is not the same as single games in a standard elimination tournament don’t you think? I...

It is interesting, prior to our original 2004 onepocket.org rules (and their subsequent influence on all other versions of One Pocket rules), there were a few cheap illegal shenanigans that cagey players employed at times -- and whether those players were considered cheaters or smart players...

I believe they have at least 12 tables that are 9', so with up to 24 players in a round robin, you would only be waiting for opponents -- never waiting for a table. The pocket sizes probably vary given that's they did when it was Lacy's as well.

Our current onepocket.org rules address this, and it was part of the rules we reviewed at the player meeting for our recent MOT. It being a player meeting, we agreed that the opponent would have the option of BIH if this happened (i.e. the player meeting was used to issue a "warning", meaning if...
