Fair enough cloone, in future I will wait for the fixtures before I assume lol.

Yep; one thing I overlooked, you never know who might drop out/deactivate/be removed by other means, which would change everything.

Straight Pool Friendly - eemad (1) 57--1 (0) dunkyfunk

After my connection went in first game (was early stages of game) we replayed, I broke, he had a shot and I cleared with a 57 run.

Not a lot he could have done, nice playing as always, now get back to snooker

yeah missed a easy shot at the start and gave it away lol nothing i could do with the way your playing m8, will be hard to get u off that top spot

57:1, dude that's overkill xD Not fair haha.

Well, since he hasnt posted it yet:

Straight Pool Friendly - 9ballsniper1 (1) 35-29 (0) junster333

eemad (1) 57-(-1) dunkyfunk (2)
dgeneratio (3) 2-35 cphaynes (4)
w_hoolahan (4) 29-36 punkpoet (5)
bulldog_oc (6) 33-35 beenjammin (7)
junster333 (9) 29-35 9ballsniper1 (10)

To be played
clooneman (2) vs tinie (3)
the_only_ego (5) vs eggfriedrice (6)
liam__scfc (7) vs the_diamond (8)
cke1982 (8) vs theukspoon (9)

In fact, the_only_ego has indicated that he will be dropping out, which means the rules for the fixtures go out the window for a few players in Week 3.

theukspoon (41) vs (19) cke1982

Results
eemad (1) 57-(-1) dunkyfunk (2)
dgeneratio (3) 2-35 cphaynes (4)
w_hoolahan (4) 29-36 punkpoet (5)
the_only_ego (5) (out) vs eggfriedrice (6) (promoted)
bulldog_oc (6) 33-35 beenjammin (7)
liam__scfc (7) (safe) vs the_diamond (8) (banned)
cke1982 (8) 19-41 theukspoon (9)
junster333 (9) 29-35 9ballsniper1 (10)

To be played
clooneman (2) vs tinie (3)

And in the final game, tinie slaughtered me 39-9. Not only was I unable to pot anything due to being terrible, but tinie got a run of 29 and was unlucky not to get to 30 when two balls went in at once. So, Week 2's results look like this, with every higher-ranked player losing (except the indomitable eemad):

Level 1/2: eemad (1) 57-(-1) dunkyfunk (2)
eemad stays at Level (or Step or Rung) 1, dunkyfunk stays at Level 2

Level 2/3: clooneman (2) 9-39 tinie (3)
tinie is promoted to Level 2, clooneman is relegated to Level 3

Level 3/4: dgeneratio (3) 2-35 cphaynes (4)
cphaynes is promoted to Level 3, dgeneratio is relegated to Level 4

Level 4/5: w_hoolahan (4) 29-36 punkpoet (5)
punkpoet is promoted to Level 4, w_hoolahan is relegated to Level 5

Level 5/6: the_only_ego (5) (out) vs eggfriedrice (6) (promoted)
eggfriedrice is promoted to Level 5, the_only_ego is off the ladder

Level 6/7: bulldog_oc (6) 33-35 beenjammin (7)
beenjammin is promoted to Level 6, bulldog_oc is relegated to Level 7

Level 7/8: liam__scfc (7) (safe) vs the_diamond (8) (banned)
liam__scfc stays at Level 7, the_diamond is off the ladder

Level 8/9: cke1982 (8) 19-41 theukspoon (9)
theukspoon is promoted to Level 8, cke1982 is relegated to Level 9

Level 9/10: junster333 (9) 29-35 9ballsniper1 (10)
9ballsniper1 is promoted to Level 9, junster333 is relegated to Level 10

Next, the initial positions for Week 3 are as follows, with Week 2's successful players listed first on each level:
Level 1: eemad
Level 2: tinie, dunkyfunk
Level 3: cphaynes, clooneman
Level 4: punkpoet, dgeneratio
Level 5: eggfriedrice, w_hoolahan
Level 6: beenjammin
Level 7: liam__scfc, bulldog_oc
Level 8: theukspoon
Level 9: 9ballsniper1, cke1982
Level 10: cajanka (new player), junster333

For Steps 1 to 6, as usual, the first-named player will challenge the last-named player in the step above them, from eemad vs tinie down to w_hoolahan vs beenjammin. Below that, there are gaps. Firstly, to fill the gap in Level 6, liam__scfc will play bulldog_oc in a straight promotion game. Neither player will be relegated in this round of games. Next, as there is no player on Level 8 alongside theukspoon, here's what I've done:

Level 1: eemad
Level 2: tinie, dunkyfunk
Level 3: cphaynes, clooneman
Level 4: punkpoet, dgeneratio
Level 5: eggfriedrice, w_hoolahan
Level 6: beenjammin
Level 7: liam__scfc, bulldog_oc, theukspoon
Level 8: 9ballsniper1, cke1982
Level 9: cajanka (new player), junster333

There were a couple of different options, but the setup I settled on sees three players temporarily sit on the seventh rung from the top, and theukspoon, who had made it to level 8 anyway, play against 9ballsniper1 in order to remain at Level 7. 9ballsniper1 and the other players down there each get sucked up a level. And as mentioned last week, the loser of junster333 vs 9ballsniper1 has no game next week, and that player was junster333, who nonetheless ends up one step closer to the top. I had imagined that only one player would leave the ladder at a time...! This is a more unusual situation.

Therefore, the fixtures for Week 3 are as follows:

eemad (1) vs tinie (2)
dunkyfunk (2) vs cphaynes (3)
clooneman (3) vs punkpoet (4)
dgeneratio (4) vs eggfriedrice (5)
w_hoolahan (5) vs beenjammin (6)
liam__scfc (7) vs bulldog_oc (7)
theukspoon (7) vs 9ballsniper1 (8)
cke1982 (8) vs cajanka (9)
junster333 (9) BYE

Deadline: next Tuesday, January 17th. Good luck!
