This tournament will be run over one day and will be a straight knock out. First round will be best of 5 frames. There will be no plate at this event. . 

Due to table availability & club requirements the first round will be subject to possible time restrictions placed on any given match. This means that if  the TD feels your match is over running to such an extent to hold up the tournament or cause inconvenience to the venue, delaying return of tables, then you will be told you have a certain amount of time left, and the clock will be put on the match. There will be no debate or discussion if a the TD decides to put a clock on any given match. the TD's decision is final.  Once the clock runs out , the winner will be the person who is leading.   

Frame score will be the first consideration and if level , points on the board in the current frame will be considered, if that is level, all balls will be removed from the table and the match will be decided by a respotted black. 

We encourage players to wear sponsor logo's for any company that supports them. 

The simple answer here is no, not ever. Our draws are always totally random.
