Believe me mate i didn't want it to be like this, when i was talking to Lee about formats yonks ago but bit late to change things now because two guys like Straight.
Only thing i could do is make Straight the same as the other types so play 4 frames instead of 2 with one point per frame. It makes them twice as long but makes it fair too.
Regarding 5 sec i removed as 99% of players didn't like it and we have 5 sec cup. If players want i can put it back to 5-90 secs (always 20 for tie breaker, that will never change).
Up to you guys but i won't be removing Straight
Does appear that way which were never the intention James, the option of a 5 sec timer too could be reintroduced as the options are to cater for everyone.
I think as the rounds progress, so should the amount of racks to play for each game type (8us, 9us & 8uk). Straight should be used more in a tie-break situation? What do you think?

Yes of course
yeah it seems like this is turning into a straight tournament. I still think it's a bit unfair to take 5 sec timer out.
agreed with this
james...are you putting me as 2nd favourite to win just so you dont look like such an epic failure?
Yes of course
Nahh i based it on Straight then the other types (hence i made you 2nd fav over Craig) as i can read you guys like a book

I think the format shouldn't have been changed tbh
dunno who complained about the length of the games
I was fine with it
home and away from 8 to 4
hmmmm

no one complained mate, i just thought it was too long, 16 frames can be very draining so i asked Ash if i could lower the frames.
It is raised from 4 to 6 next then 6 to 8 (or 10 if people want) for the Final

you could play 8 today and 8, 2 days later as an example
was just my thought
the only reason it got complicated was people being put in and taken out
I would like to see this competition continued when finished
its interesting, unlike like most pool events

1. True on Snooker me and Seb ran a competition called Snooker World Tour with the World Championship being a Best of 19 Final in Original, On Pool it would be at least double as pool takes half the time, sometimes a third of snooker to complete a frame.
http://funkysnookerworldtour.weebly.com/
2. Yes that was always a problem but when Chips reformed it was inevitable really. Be good to see a competition from the start with no one leaving.
3. Thanks, i can always continue to run it throughout the season, if people want extra games.
The format needs to be revamped though as Straight and 5 Sec are being decisive this season. Frames could be raised instead of lowered in the latter stages.
For example:
Group - 8 H+A like before, Time as before (No 5 secs could be an option if Straight is removed), and Straight could be removed also to scrap the double points rule which is good for a Straight player.
Quarters - 8 H+A - Same as Group Stage
Semis - 10 H+A - Best of 21
Final - 12 H+A - Best of 25
If players want even longer...
Group 10 H+A - 20 Frames
Quarter 12 H+A - Best of 25
Semi 16 H+A - Best of 33
Final 17 H+A - Best of 35

James it's entirely up to you mate, you're doing a really great job. My only concern is the fact with all the default scores, apparent changes to the game types it's going to become too one dimensional and not much fun.
Carry on doing what you are mate, it's been a very well run tournament, only thing ruined it ever so slightly were the chopping and changing of participants. I like the idea to run something similar during the Season too, just need to ensure clan matches continue to take precedent.

Yeah defaults was needed for Group Stage as we needed to know who tops the group, What i could do to prevent this is do it similar to FBL where you get two points for a win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss and forget frame difference.
Questions for next event is...
1) Do you want the format changed? (e.g. Remove Straight)
2) Do you want to scrap Double Points for Straight?
3) Do you want to get rid of 5 sec shot clock?
4) Do you want to alter format for the Cup?
5) Do you want football system in group stage w/o frame difference? (This would get rid of defaults)
6) Do you want longer frames in Knockout Stage?
7) Do you want to completely remove deadlines?
When next season starts i won't be looking to change the format again so its up to you guys to speak before i restart (possibly 7 days after the Final)

See we have our own website but I don't see why others don't just copy the weebly link and post that instead reposting the fixtures on every page? Would do away with the member tagging issue too.

id say keep it as it first was James
all the way through
makes it simple and fun
include the 5 sec clock as it was there first
straight we have one or 2 outstanding players
maybe take it out
leave it 2 the 3 formats
just my opinion
then all players start on the same step

The spontaneity is what made the tournament different to all the others, I say anything goes including 5 seconds shot timers, if it's used to a players advantage so what. Whole point in having Home and Away Preferences.
I think straight on the other hand should be kept as a tie-breaker, so only the three main game types should be selected from.
With regards to defaults, can't really do that in a friendly competition, no effort means they don't advance simples.
There does need to be deadlines as such but as long as matches get played or we know they are in the process of being arranged then that's as good as to me too.
Just my Opinion too.

If we kept Straight i would have a thought too add the Arcade games to make it balanced but either way the points system would need to be changed in Straight.
I wouldn't even do Straight as a tie breaker (unless it stayed of course)
"With regards to defaults, can't really do that in a friendly competition, no effort means they don't advance simples."
sounds fair although if both makes an effort what happens? least in FBL style if we feel both aren't doing effort then 0-0, equal 1-1, one sided 2-0, seems a simple system too
"There does need to be deadlines as such but as long as matches get played or we know they are in the process of being arranged then that's as good as to me too."
Yeah deadlines would need to be flexible to combat the league games, maybe 6 weeks for group games with a 7 day extension period? Knockouts could be a 3 week deadline with a 7 day extension period
============================
so far (Second go round)...
Keep League as it is (more inclined to do Football Scoring (Group Stage Only) but that can be removed too for Group Stage), Keep shot clock to all possibilities and Remove Straight from options.

FCL Game
legend_pot 15 - 0 mackoni13
5 - 0 each game type
not vintage in terms of run outs from myself, the breaks were just going against me for some reason lol, but i didnt miss a ball and was pretty relentless when i got my chances, had a nice seven balling in 8 us, he possibly could of had one or 2 but for some ul cannons, 9 us tactics were spot on and cleared every chance and same again in 8 uk, very harsh for his first clan game he didnt get much of a chance, seems like a decent player though when he had some pots to go at, a very nice guy as well didnt moan about the result or anything afterwards ggs mate

Ouch! - Quality result matey, very very well played - nice 15 in your first match of the season - not only pulls the 5 back from vs anoneeemouse but adds 10 on top -
I like your thinking
