Friday 500 Final Standings 2010

updated 8 March, 2010

(click here for latest table) (click here for past winners)

At 9 o’clock on Friday nights there is a free entry tournament for all members stopping at the hotel (non-residents will pay £20 to enter). It is a 5-point Knockout based over 11 tournaments, the final winner of which will take home from the December, Gilbertson UK Finals the princely sum of . . . . . . .

£500

The whole idea of the 500 is to encourage Friday night attendance - with this firmly in mind I have altered the points award thus:
All players get 4 points for entering. This is increased to 7 for last 16 losers, 9 for last 8, 12 for semi-final losers, and finally 16 and 20 for 2nd and 1st respectively. This method of awarding points means that it could be possible to gain enough points to qualify by attending on a regular basis ( 11 x 4 = 44 points). At the same time it means that coming just once or twice throughout the year and winning or placing in the last 8 won't guarantee a place. This new system also means that should the turnout be fewer than 16 (but greater than 8), the 1st Round losers will in fact get 7 points, and for fields of 8 and fewer, the 1st Round losers will get 9 points. Just how many entrants each event will attract is unknown - so it might well be worthwhile entering just in case the number of entrants is fewer than 16! Can you afford not to enter?

The top placed player after the November event (the last event of the year before the December Finals) will receive £100 for being the Top Player. The December draw will be 1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th, etc, etc. If fewer than 16 entrants turn up in December players from 17th upwards will be allowed to enter should they be present. A failure to get a 16-draw will mean byes will be applied, and these will be allocated from 1st position downwards until filled.

Please remember, each knockout starts at 21.00 prompt!
Late entrants are liable to be denied entry.

 

 

Friday 500 @ 8 March 2010 after the Biba International

Myke Wignall and Andy Darby swap places at #1 & #2, with Myke leading by just 1 point. Simon K Jones and Nicky Check remain unchanged. We lose George Hall, Ray Kershaw and Tony Walters (all absent and who drop into joint #16) and gain Andreas Sophocleous, Mick Harris and Rob Tutchings (who shares his #16 place with a few others!).

These positions are likely to alter very soon as the Scottish Open, Friday 500 will bring in a bunch of players chasing ofter the £100 added prize money!
