Latest Competition News


Updated 15 April

The Individuals, Pairs and Captains draws are now on the Other Comps page.

We have had to change some of the early fixtures around a bit to accommodate the fact that we have 64 entries for the Individuals this year, meaning that the first round has been split over two weeks. The early two Pairs fixtures have shifted along a week whilst the Captains first round has moved on a week too and will be played down to the last 4 on 4th June to allow for the extra Individuals week. All three Semis/Final nights will remain in their July dates as before.

10 April - The Individuals, Pairs and Captains competitions are coming in May. Provisional dates are listed on the Other Comps and Entries pages. All received entries are now listed on the Entries page, please check and notify us of any errors via competitions@exeterpool.com.

Heart of Oak B v Jubilee Club played 8 January.

Sun 15 December - Tonight is the inaugural Dave Layfield Memorial Shield round.

The format for tonight is 8 x singles (all single frame) followed by 5 x Scotch Doubles ( all single frame). No player can play more than 2 frames of singles / 3 frames of doubles. Conferring to be kept to a minimum in the Scotch Doubles.

The playing format is as follows:
Lag for 1st break then alternate breaks there after.

Singles - both sides naming players 1 to 4 blind, and therefore filling in frames one to eight on the sheet. Away order changes to 3, 4, 1, 2 for second set of singles.
Singles players need to remain in position eg. number 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Reserves can be brought into second 4 singles if required.

After the singles each Captain then decides on their doubles for the first 4 frames of doubles. i.e. name your first 2 doubles pairings then same pairings switched for second 2 sets of pairs (reserve players permitted, can bring reserve players in to games sd3 and sd4 if required)
So Doubles is
Home team: Sd1 Sd2 & Sd3 Sd4 stay the same.
Away team: Sd1 Sd2 swap Sd3 Sd4
i.e. SD1 V SD1 sd game 1
SD2 V SD2 sd game 2
SD1 V SD2 sd game 3
SD2 V SD1 sd game 4
5th doubles if required teams nominate players.
