2008-9 Scotch Doubles Knockout

THIS YEAR ALL PLAYERS ARE REMINDED THAT THE DOUBLES ARE IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT. EACH DOUBLES PLAYER TAKES ALTERNATE SHOTS DURING A VISIT i.e. PLAYER ONE BREAKS AND, IF THAT PLAYERS POTS OFF THE BREAK, THEN PLAYER TWO COMES TO THE TABLE AND PLAYS THE NEXT SHOT AND, IF HE POTS A BALL, THEN PLAYER ONE COMES BACK AND PLAYS AND SO FORTH. AS SOON AS THE FIRST SHOT IS PLAYED THERE IS NO DISCUSSION BETWEEN SHOTS UNTIL THE VISIT COMES TO AN END. ANY TALKING BETWEEN SHOTS DURING A VISIT WILL RESULT IN A FOUL AND 2 SHOTS IS THEN AWARDED. THE ONLY TIME PLAYERS CAN DISCUSS SHOTS DURING A VISIT IS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BREAK HAS BEEN MADE, WHERE NOMINATION OF COLOUR IS DECIDED. THIS IS THE ONLY OCCASION IT CAN HAPPEN.

Mike Barker and Chris Hanlon have been crowned the Stafford Doubles Knockout champions after progressing through a field of 8 pairings at this year’s Finals Day. The new Scotch Doubles system adopted this year saw a number of new faces contesting the final stages of the competition which can only be good for local pool. Mike and Chris dropped only 1 frame during the day and were deserved winners with Linda Simpson and Pippa Steele also playing some excellent pool to reach the final.
