Ok Steve no problem.

Less than 2 weeks to go and have 50 runners for this comp,a comp like this is long overdue so hopefully those that have said their coming will turn up.
Will be a great day of pool.

---

Even though this is an open comp I have stated on the first post that players must have at least played once in the last two seasons in our league.
Thankyou.

---

Put me in Knocky n what generous price will you give me, wow you'd make a good bookie shooting at 500% or so rather than the traditional 115% ... depending on the price I'll work out if it's worth practicing , also what's the maximum bet your take? :angel:

---

P.s I have a set of Pro cut? Cup? You guy's can use ..

---

Thanks Tony,I'll put you in,don't know what odds you would get,as Mickey would have final say.
He's looking for a partner to run a book if you are interested.

Croydon open this Sunday.11am c u there fellas
