I've been toying with an idea for a while to have a competition open to Croydon League players only to be held early next year and I'd appreciate some feedback.

The basic details are as follows:-

To be played at Frames on a Saturday (or Sunday subject to finding a free date).

Early rounds best of 7 frames. Quarter finals onwards best of 9.

Straight knockout format. Potential for a plate competition for first and second round losers.

Handicapping to apply - Div 1 players to start on minus 1. Div 2 players to start on levels. Div 3 players to start on plus 1. (Whilst this isn't a perfect method it is easy to apply and takes the subjectivity out of it).

Entry fee to be a minimum of £10 - it's not so much about lining players pockets but having a get together of players from across the divisions. All entry money to be paid out as prize money.

Subject to there being room available we could some have some side events such as a redrawn scotch doubles, killer, 14 to 1 or even a poker table.

Please feel free to let me know what you think. This is very much a work in progress but I'd like to have some semblance of a plan before approaching Frames (who I do appreciate may read this!).
