Scotch Doubles Tournament
This event is set down for Saturday May 12th starting at 9.30am
The event is designed to be a fun day with all players being placed in a hat and partners drawn for the event
Part of the Entry money of $15 per player will be returned in prize money and also used as money to support the players from Tasmania who wil be travelling to Englnad In late June
The rules of World-Eight-Ball Pol Federation will apply for the event
Simple explanation of Scotch Doubles
Team 1 v Team 2
Player A breaks for team A pots a ball on the break, player B for team A will then have the next shot, if Player B player pots a ball then player A will then have the next shot, this continues back and forth until that team misses, once this occurs the opposing team will have their turn at the table under the same format
All Matches will be Best of 3 or 5 and the Break will alternate between Team 1 and 2 and the following rule will apply
Player rotation must be maintained throughout each game and into the break of the next game. The Non-Breaking Team may start each new frame with either player. Failure to stay in rotation will result in Ball in Hand Foul
The dress code for this event is relaxed in the sense that jeans, polo top and shoes are acceptable (Track suit trousers, t-shirts, moccasins etc are not acceptable) |

State Calcutta Update
Eightball Tasmania have made the decision to postpone this years State 8Bal Calcutta due to the lack of entries received to date, the clash with the STEBA Annual 8Ball Dinner and the Anzac Tournament in Melbourne on the same weekend
This decision was not made lightly, but with only 2 paid etnies as at Thursday 19th April, 2 more received on Friday 20th April and one received via post but not paid the decision was made to postpone due to only having 5 entries and the clash with other events
While Eightball Tasmania should have realised there was a clash earlier with other calenders of events, it does help if people see these clashes can let us know and we can change without effecting peoples arrangements
The new date for the calcutta will be Saturday July 7th (If we do not require this weekend for the 3rd round of open team qualifiers) or Saturday September 1st - A decision will be made at the end of the first round of open team qualifiers on May 27th
Again apologies to people effected, but from a State point we need to make sure this event is as well supported as in previous years and we have the chance to raise as much funds as we can for Eightbal Tasmania through our sponsorship arrangements with the LWC
