In the meantime, the main event has taken place...

berbatov wins, 1 ball left
clooneman wins, foul on black (berbatov broke, potted, potted again, and on his third shot he unluckily dropped the black)
berbatov wins, 5 balls left
berbatov wins, black (I missed the winning black BADLY)
berbatov wins, 5 balls left (lucky sod escape from a snooker, black multi-banked into the corner)
berbatov wins, 5 balls left

I played crap. But berbatov played brilliantly and deservedly took the title.

Well done, a great player and a great chap.

I think, and I might be wrong, that this is the first competition I've ever run on the forums in which every player played the required games and no-one pulled out. So a big well done and thanks to everyone who joined and took part. Give yourselves a bualadh bos!

special thanks to cloonman though on a serious note on a very well done tournament, hip hip hooray

Fair enough lost it wasn't my finest hour yet when I think about it I didn't completely bottle it in the semis like a certain someone who got beaten 4-0!!
