Inter Island Team Event

We are happy to announce the return of the Inter District Team Event.

It will be played over the 18th & 19th January 2025 at the Douglas Snooker Bar and the rules are as follows: (please note there are a couple of changes from last year)

- 4 person teams with a cost of £10 per player. You can register as many as you want but only 4 can play per game.

- Your team must comprise of players from your district, so if you play in Western League you must play with players from the Western League. If you play in multiple leagues then you must chose a league to represent. We will be checking your registration before we accept your entry

- Your team can be all Male, all Female or Mixed, you must play in the same district though

The group format is:

4 Groups - Top 2 go through to the Main Event Knockout Stage, the rest will go through to the plate event.

All Group Matches will be played on 1 table and last 80 minutes with a minute shot clock in operation. As DSB has 3 tables, the table not in use will be used but it will be rotated between each match in the session

The maximum number of frames played per match will be 10. (8 singles and 2 scotch doubles) If the time runs out before all 10 frames are played then the score at the end of 80 minutes will be taken. A win gets you 3 points and a loss, nothing. If the score is tied then both teams will get 1 point and there will be a blackball shootout for an extra point.

The groups will be played to a finish in each session and as mentioned the matches will all be timed.

The tournament director will meet with all team captains before the start of the each session to run through the rules so don't worry.

Plate Event will be best of 10 frames (1st to 6 - BB shootout at 5 all)

Main Event will be best of 14 frames (1st to 8 - BB shootout at 7 all)

Any questions please ask
