Lucky Dip Pairs (Summer Edition) 2025
Saturday 28 June 2025 - 12:00
This competition was created to encourage newer or less experienced players to be in with a chance to win a competition which is normally dominated by the upper echelon players. Think of it as a Pro-Am competition like in golf.
Once all entries have been counted, for example, 36 people have entered, I will go through and select each player based on their skill level and where they play in the league and categorize them into Group A or Group B.
I will then run a randomised draw of 1 player from each group to create the "Lucky Dip Pairs"
This will be like any other knockout competition and the format remains the same starting with group stages then go through to a knockout.
Best two teams out of each group will go through then the remaining spots for top 16 will go to the next best points teams. If there is a tie, then it will go to frames won. If there is still a tie, it will go to a 6 red shootout.
Best of 3 - Group stages
Race to 2 - Quarter's
Race to 3 - Semi's
Race to 4 - Finals
Match format, subject to change
