On Sunday 15th June I will be running a qualifier at Riley?s Purley Way for the Riverside Amateur Players Championship which takes place on 25-27 July at Riverside Pool Club, Ware, Hertfordshire.

The winner of the main event will pick up ?1600 from a ?6400 prize fund (subject to entries). Direct entry for the Main Event is ?100; however, you can take part for just ?12.50 by qualifying locally. The qualifier requires a minimum of 8 players to go ahead and there will be one Croydon representative in the main event for every 8 players who take part.

In a similar format to the main event, the qualifier will be best of 3 sets with each set being best of 7 frames, but if the match goes to the final set, then it must be won by 2 clear frames.

Registration is from 11.30am with the competition starting at midday. You can pay in advance at the club if you wish.

This qualifier is open to all amateurs except for former professionals who are welcome to enter the main event but must do so by buying in direct for ?100. This is the same for all the qualifiers being held across the country.
