2020 Sydney Sunday Pool Competitions #5

Pre-registered players only. Please do not enter if you have not successfully registered first.

Format:
9-Ball, 1 on the spot, 3-point rule in effect, alternate break.

Time and location:
Sunday Nov 15th, CityHeroes Burwood.
Door opens at 10:00. Matches start at 10:20. From 10:25, for every 5 mins late you'll be giving your opponent 1 frame as head start until you lost the match.

Payout:
winner $400, 2nd $220, semi-finalists $130, quarter-finalists $80, last 16 could have CityHeroes table vouchers (to be confirmed).

Dress code and mobile phone:
No thongs. Non-compliance will result in disqualification. Please put your mobile phone to silent mode. Phone calls are not allowed during matches.

Toilet break:
One toilet break is allowed for each player during the match but only between frames. There will be a 5 mins break between matches if a player is to play the next match immediately.

Meal break:
Unfortunately we are very time constrained so there will be no official meal break. However, quite often a player will need to wait for the other side of the bracket to complete their match. Players are free to leave the venue during the waiting time at their own risk. 1 frame per 5 mins late penalty will still be in effect once the other player finished the previous match and had the 5 mins break between matches.

Referee:
Please ask someone near you to help referee if you come across shots that are likely to cause disputes, e.g., kick shot towards a cluster of object balls. Players are not allowed to call opponent's foul in such situations if a referee is not requested. On the other hand, nothing stops you from being honest and respectable by calling foul on yourself.

Covid-19 precautions:
Hand sanitiser available at the counter. Practise 1.5m social distance, good personal hygiene, and cough/sneeze etiquette. If you're sick please do not attend to the event.

Sponsors:
As always I'd like to mention our crew sponsor A&D Metro Motors who enables us to have one person dedicated to the operation on the day of event. If anyone happens to be looking for a premium used car, please visit their official website:

Special shout-out to our venue sponsor CityHeroes Pool&Billiards and it's manager Leo Liu. Without their support none of these would be possible.

And a big thank you to Jenny Tran for looking after the operation of the day.

Look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
