It was maybe a little too much in 8uk but I blitzed the 9us so only needed the one more point. He played well, I feel I gifted the first two frames from making uncharacteristic misses but then stepped it up. Six frames on the bounce was a good reply. Could see 8uk was his strong type, he played well throughout I did see his snooker attempts from a mile off though so I don't believe that was the deciding factor.

Seb next, not sure how the draw has already been made when Round 1 isn't over till 31/01/2016?

Its because Seb is out of town on 30th so Keith did Round Two early to accommodate Seb as hes out of town for three to four weeks which means he would miss the next round.

Keith asked the players who would play Seb next (Me and You) to play early which we did then hopefully play Seb by 30th

Yeah was good games, believe Snookers were a factor though, i underhit each one which was poor and left easy clears. 8US felt you were too reckless going for real difficult clears which you may get 20% of the time. UK same thing really but didn't quite manage it. Would say if you did percentages more then would get more results as just one style of play doesn't often win games unless the other player follows suit

"I might not be available till the 30th!? Sorry but why should one player get special treatment or dispensation. I was never asked if I could play him or you by the 30th!"

So you want a free pass into Round Three? Your choice but i would rather try and play by the 30th instead of looking for a default to get into Round Three.

"Appears to me as I wasn't expected to win so you could play your mate by the time he had to go away?"

What are you trying to say? that i asked Keith to play Seb lol, i'd rather avoid playing Seb (but still play of course if i draw him).

"As great a player as Seb is IF he's unavailable for the competition itself then why enter and not just accept due to no fault of their own they are simply unavailable."

It was down to Keith to allow Round Two to be drawn early, Not Seb, Seb asked if Keith can work around and Keith allowed it.

I'd rather have a tournament tree or draw rounds early as gives each player more time to complete the earlier they complete the games

"Sorry but why should one player get special treatment or dispensation."

You nearly got a dispensation i heard about Sam and Tinie playing in FCL. It is ok for you to moan about them from Uprising but when shoes on other foot you don't like it.

Try and play Seb early

No James I don't want a pass to Round 3, I will play whoever in Round 2 just when Round 1's Deadline has passed.

I wrote it appears to me that I wasn't expected to win so too and I'll use your terminology to 'accommodate' Seb it would be easier for you and him to play before he went unavailable. Unfortunately that didn't happen.

Rounds should not be drawn in advance at all, those who advance should have no idea who their next opponent is until the draw itself is made IMO.

Try and play Seb early

Why should I?

(Message me offline if you want to carry this on further, thanks)

Anything can happen on a Pool Table, told you that before we started playing as you felt i would beat you but you beat me. Technically you can beat Seb but it is unlikely.

What your saying is Keith intentionally paired me and you to give me a free pass into Round Two and intentionally drew Seb to play the winner and you think Keith is that biased? i don't think so, Rounds are drawn at Random, Why would Keith cheat the system to give Seb an easier fixture?

"No James I don't want a pass to Round 3, I will play whoever in Round 2 just when Round 1's Deadline has passed."

Yes you do as you know Seb won't be here then so you will win the default easily, I thought highly of you these past few weeks but this sounds like your avoiding Seb and taking the easy way out.

thought you were better than that.

i know its none of my business but why on the thread?? its for others to see next thing you know there will be pages of disagreements and then there will be moaning to take it off this thread tut tut guys!!

Because that question alone shows that you haven't changed much. Doesn't matter that it's Seb or anyone else. He's a fellow competitor and it shouldn't matter when you play it. Taking the stance you are shows you would rather take the game on default than play him.
Knowing Seb a little bit I'm pretty sure he will just shrug his shoulders and move on, even though he couldn't defend his title.

You could have said ok no problem instead you turn it into an issue .........again. Killer last season was the same. Hopefully Keith can alter the draw so a proper person can play him.

Probably right but if Ash is accusing Keith of being biased then i would reply here as thats where discussion is. I'm done anyway so if Ash wants to reply he can message me

see ,,,rest my case iwasnt talking about being biased just the ongoing comments ,,could have been made elsewhere
