Kyle and tom very well done, the format for this comp
was outstanding.
The group stages giving every one 18 frames of pool
and a chance to really get involved before the k.o stage.
well done( jacko for wining)
good value for money,No great value.

---

I agree, well done to Kyle & Tom, well organised comp and a decent format. :clapping:

We can't wait another 4 years, Hopefully we'll see Champions League & Euro's comps in the future.

Results from the CRO world cup;

Winners: Germany (Tony Jackson)
Runners-Up: Algeria (Metin Tomris)
3rd Place: Spain (John Baylis)
4th Place: Paraguay (Dave Goodall)

Nick pool also walked away with ?60 having picked germany in the sweepstake.

Congrats 2 all the money winners especially tony on winning the event (let's just hope these results dont follow suit in the real thing lol)

I was only there for a short while, but it seemed to me that everyone liked the format, it was certainly more friendly for those players that may not usually win that many matches.

Kyle said that the only chaotic moment was doing the draw. Their is an obvious way around this and thats getting money in pre event and do the draw pre-event. A compettion with this format after the draw runs itself.

Well doenn to Wiggy and Kyle, and Tom for getting the ideas and cracking on with it.

It can be used for th Champions League Group Format, you could do it for the World Knitting Championship if their are 32 teams in it, so if people like it I am sure Kyle will be happy to do another one.

4 Croydon Champs a year wouldn;t be too hard.

Croydon Singles
Croydon Open
Croydon Champioons League
Croydon Knitting Championship

Jobs a good un.

Well done to the prize winners, and nice to see John Baylis smashing balls in for fun again.

Incidentally were their any penalty shoot outs?????

---

Only one penalty shoot-out in the group stages between Billy and chatty, shame there wasn't more as it was quite fun to watch
