not much on it yet. Winner can call themselves king of Snooker and go in the websites hall of fame. If this is a success then there will be 8ball n 9ball tourneys to.
If you want to view page u hav to register for bebo.com but you can just make a quick acount thats not even in your name and details just to see the page.
Great idea. Sign me up for this one. You need a pretty golden star if you're organising this =]
Don't think it will be a good tourney because: 1) No prizes 2) Should be for everyone (not for first 32 players who will put their names in this topic) Anyway gl. TY Ronnie.
pointless reply to be honest ronnie, why it need prizes theres top players playing in it and knockout system is fun.
Aw this is a great idea!! I stink at Snooker still (I'm a newbie at the game really) but I wish all of the players luck!! ~Danny~
I don't care about the prize, and I bet most people don't. If someone is going to the trouble of organising this then I'll join just to boost the number of players :D
cool idea just what if ppl cant make it, and the rounds are quite long, if it was quick snooker then would be better. still well done on making i take my hat of to ya:)
Yeh, good luck with running it. I think you will have alot of trouble getting people to be online at same time etc... I ran something simular for 9ball and 8ball a while back and it was a pain getting people together to play. Anyways i wont be joining, as i seen the competition there isnt any point taking part :p!

Also if you dont find your opponent and you write a reply saying you cant find him, and your if opponent dont reply i will put you through. The early rounds will be harder 2 find people but when the later stages happen the better players know who each other are i hope.

lol snook tourney has already begun,u gotta find ur opponent and play him in unrated room(bo5):D and ty nando :D

First game is finished was me against Sven, I had to go so I conceded, congratulations to Sven! He will be back with a ss as proof...
I'll play my game with Max tomorrow ;) For anyone I may end up facing later on in this tourny (providing I can actually get past the first round) my address is listerthelegend@hotmail.com - I'm never on it, but I'll make an effort to go on it while this thing is running.
i played rocket just now and lost 3-1 many congrats rocket m8 and best of luck next round:p gl to all players and hats of to u championship for organising Strong Regards Bazza:)
I can more say. I am not SVENNNN! I announced myself the tournament, before why wars I not? Championships, can you no understand? Check on Mods, that are sven and i not a people-Player. HM
Sorry I'm not sharing my address here... But I'm online in quick snooker usually in the afternoon about between 2pm - 8pm Finland time (=+2 hours UK time). If you Coolcole93 see this please try find me or if you leave your MSN address here, I will add you. What happens if I cannot find the opponent?
Jaakima read back through the posts, you may gather some more information. ;) Altough Zain came onto Msn I didn't actually get a good response from him, apart from ";\" which wasn't useful :p And a big thanks to Championship for going out of his way to ogranising this, let's hope it runs smoothly :p
What happens if I cannot find the opponent? And some info about the tournament timetable would be nice.
if u won't find ur opponent then u have to tell this to Championship. and u automatically go to next round. tournament timetable hmm..all games bo5 ( race to 3 wins ) , 1st round must be played by wednesday,25th of july.
Don't worry if you can't find your opponent, I have a good idea whos going to make and effort to try and play and who isn't and also if you get to the later rounds it will be easier to find your opponents.
theeking i have been online all day today. I will be ontuesday and wednesday 8pm till 11. i will not leave email address for obvious reasons c ya soon
king of saturn is on holiday... i dnt no if he'l b bk by time we have 2 play if he aint, i go thru yes?

That website would be no use as each round is a random draw, i will put the 2nd round draw up on the 26th.
I have created a bracket with all the names and will update them accordingly. To view it simply go to:
http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=234657
and click on "Championship Bracket" link
Thanx Machine... but the the matches are decided by a random draw not winner of match 1 plays winner of match 2.
Id rather have the random draw to be honest lol, first i got to beat Jaak then Rocket or Enigma? :p sounds tough :D
I just won exstreme chocker 3:0, but i dont know how 2 post ss. :-( how can i do now:-(? can u help me plz?

mageshack.us/img512/4149/jaakkima1cj1.gif How the heck is that possible?!? Either the SS was faked or someone knows my password because I was away all last week!
Pfff seems like someone has played with your name... The nick I played has capital letter C... so it's a different account I suppose?
>Pfff seems like someone has played with your name... The nick I played has capital letter C... so it's a different account I suppose? Ah, well. Well played, anyway lol
I seen part of the Jaakimaa game vs Coolcool and the nick was with a capital C i check the info and there was no Snooker games played he told me he was an 8baller... Now with Extreme Choker sayin that seems like some kid is copyin nicks and playin with them. Cant believe some kids can be so immature and try to spoil this. For next rounds we need to make SURE that were playin the right guy coz this tournament has gone well so far...
Wait, that Extreme Choker nick above me was only registered yesterday wereas the one which signed up to tourny with was registered on July 1st so they are two different people, the one above me must be the kid copying the nicks. Ill get a mod to have a look.
I'm sorry for what happened. Shall I play again with real coolcole? It's no problem but won't have time before tomorrow evening!
right brooklyn, i am online now until about lunchtime lol, gimme a shout when ur on, email me fret1308@hotmail.co.uk
K next round...If you havent played your games then i just put through who i think made the most effort to find oponent. The fixtures will be decided by a random draw, the 1st post giving me 8 fixtures will be taken. eg 8 V 5, 16 V 1, 2 V 3....
Omg! Maybe flyordie are right to stay clear of reformatting the toury! Lol, i'm at work, e-mail me, i'm going on holiday! This time next year maybe, Over complicated nonsense! but i respect the attempt by fellow players to org sumthing decent. Whats up with plain old straight knock-out toury like i suggested earlier and then beef up the final bo3 or 5 maybe, setup would be far less complicated. The only solution for this spagetti western is to get fod to org it! u ther at set time for ur time zone an u play simple konckout at the set time. Easy man! i shudder at the thought of boiling an egg! lol. Keep it simple folks! Peace an happy gaming folks.
yo just beat brooklyn 3-2, he got 70 break first frame lol, i have ss but cant b bothered to post it on forum, if u want proof ill send it to u
Whats goin on with this tourny man, you said all games had to be played by 25th, if they aint played then kick em out and get on with it. Been 2 days now since deadline and still people aint played you gave em 4-5 days to play and thats long enough...lets just get on with next round.

I think people know that Baz but its worth a try if a mods checking but it doesnt usually happen lol i normally post and its on a day later like you say...maybe if Fod could make this topic so when you post it goes straight on...
I still haven't heard anything from "The Machine" was wondering if any one has seen or spoken to him? cheers matt
Hi Corn, Im online now until about 10. I will be on friday night and most of the weekend. I have been on every now and again but we seem to keep missing each other. Hope to see u soon :p
Ray I should be on all day tomorrow so hopefully we'll get our game played soon. :) -Martin
Right, in my 2nd round game, i am leading 2-0 and the machine wont answer me no more, so i dont know what is going on with this game! To the point of the whole tourny, can't we get a neutral person to take over it, so we can get it rolling again?!!
Sorry guys i been very busy...
Quarter Finals
Enigma v Paralyzed Ronnie O Kiev v Sven Rockin Music v Mr Vanian Jaakima v Rocket All very very very good players should be some great games, oh ye games are now bo9 im sure u probably knew anyway... good luck.
OK... had my match with Rocket. The last frame ended with DC, and we still disagree of the result. In the beginning we had an agreement that if there's no big score difference and dc happens, the frame is draw. This is what happened (I checked the score from a IRC-log where I was talking about the game with a friend, lol). Frames 4-4. Score 60-60. Five balls left. Rocket pots green 63-60. Good pos for brown. I DC. Rocket says he pots brown and then he sees me leaving. The problem is that he didn't pot the rest of the balls and he needed still two of them (I'm not doubting he pot the brown). I know it was good chance for him to win, but I still think it isn't over properly. I know people will think I dcd on purpose and I would think that too if that happened to my opponent in such situation. But what can I do? I want to hear what you guys think about this. I know a draw is not fair here, because he probably would have won. But victory for him is not fair either. I think this is not a nice way to end such a match (3,5 hours) for either of us. I'd rather lose properly than win with a rematch after this, but after playing the match for the whole evening I'm not going to give up before someone else judges it. And the leader of this tournament is the one to do it. I can play a rematch where I give him good lead, or what ever. But if you think he won, then ggs ty np :) Great match anyway.
Me vs Jaakkima, 4-4 in games 64-60 to me in final game! Right at that time, I had a easy brown, with a simple blue after. Then all of a sudden Jaakkima disappears as if he's left the game! When i leave the game, he is already in lobby waiting claiming a dc! Also, at the start of the games he asked me "what happens if i dc?" - this dc as he calls it happened right at the time of me finally taking the lead for the first time in the whole match. Which to me is very fishy! I personally am not playing a rematch! I know i would have won from that postion, so im claiming a 5-4 win! ty Matt
Rocket, I asked about the dc thingy just to make sure what to do if this happens so that we don't need to argue. It did happen - and here we are arguing. No wonder if it looks like planned when it happens in the last moments of the last frame. But it wasn't. I'm not that sad person. I can lose to a better player, but the balls need to be potted. The score was 63-60 after the green, meaning you still had to pot blue and pink. Sure you had a great chance to win, but it wasn't clear. I don't blame you for not believing me, I wouldn't probably believe you in the same case. Still, I find it sad that you are not even answering me anymore when I'm trying to discuss about this. I have no more interest to play a rematch after such a sad ending. Wouldn't be fun anymore, and the point of the game is to have fun. I just hope no one thinks I'd try such a stupid thing. Thanks for Championship for arranging this and gl to everyone! Jaakkima
Does sound a bit dodgy Jaakima especially 4-4 with a frame winning chance. Im going to give the win to Rocket as its not hes fault u d.c on a frame winning break.
Hmm, tis fishy but i have respect for Jaak and really dont think he's one for lying about a dc as ive never ever seen him moan about anything in the game, not sure what yer gonna do now i think the rematch with rocket 25-30 start ? should settle it :D
i agree with Rocket he sent me a message on msn about 3hrs before the game finished, saying what he thought jaakima was going to do, asking about the DC's etc.. in my opinion this should go down as a win to Rocket
Jaak, i did agree about that rule as if it was close! But that is with reds still on the table, not right at the end when im about to win! I have spoken to few people about this (3 players still in tourny, 2 former league head admins, and a mod), and they all agree that this is to late in the game to play a rematch! I will say again, i will not be playing a rematch, so its either I go through, or you go through! what ever the admin of this tourny says, is what is going to happen! ty Matt
It's no problem guys. Rocket is a great player and deserves to be in the last four and as Champ says it's not his fault if I dc. But think it from my point of view also, I'm playing for 3,5 hours and hundreds of balls are potted but I don't see the last four of them. I swear I'd rather lose properly than have a dc on a late point like that. And yes, of course it sounds unbelievable and seems obvious that I try to cheat. I still hope no one of you thinks I lie, cos in the end having your respect is more important for me than staying in the tournament. Fair play is always nro 1 for me. Thanks to Scotty for believing in me.
I believe you, but Rocket had a great frame chance by sound of things and its not hes fault u d/c.....
I agree Rocket should go through as given the situation it would have been near impossible for Jaak to win but a rematch would give him a much bigger chance. Don't think Jaak did it on purpose though, don't know him but he doesn't sound like the type of person who would cheat.
Sven and Rockin have both quit FOD im told, dont matter though i reckon they would of lost anyway:D
Semi Finals
Mr Vanian v Rocket Ronnie O KIEV v Enigma
ronnie vs Enigma what a match that will be also Rocket n Paraylzed 2 great players and ppl gl all of yous;)
Well im just happy ive made it this far considering the competition at the start of this tournament, its been a long one but we've got there :p This Semi shouldn't take to long to finish and im gonna have to do well to beat Rocket hes proved he's definately one of best ever on this site in this tourny, how many people can come back after so long off and get this far ? dont think many can ;). Gl to Enigma and Ronnie should be a cracking game :p
Lost 6-4 Should have been an easy win for me, but hay, luck got involved! Thanks for tourny! Signing off Matt! :D
Lol matt come off it mate, we sit here for 3 hours and what and you say luck ? You went 3-0 up and luck gets me back into it ? Fair enough i fluked a few but that doesnt mean i won because of it...you had plenty of chances to win the game but you just wasn't good enough mate, at the end of the game the best player on the night won...nobody wins a bo11 through luck and thats a fact, they were games of Attack(me) Vs Defence (you) and the best defence is attack :p
u won scotty :O i saw u were struggling at 2-0 to Rockets safety play:) who ever u play in final will be a class match.
Fluked a few? how about how many fluked snookers and safetys you got! If i'm correct there was about 15 of those! As a defensive player, i wait for mychances, which i should get alot of ag an attacking player. but cos of your luck, i was ending up with silly shots most of the game, then the time i did get a simple shot it was too late! As for the better player won, i completely disagree ;) it all comes down on the day, i was shocking yet i didn't complain about it! unlike you when you was 3-0 down ;) you didn't shut up about it! O well, good luck in the final Matt :D
Lol matt who are you trying to fool here, lets get a few things straight here pal...first 3 games some of shots you played were absolutely pathetic m8 and im sure Sean John the guy who watched the first few games would back me up on this as i was sayin to him how bad the games were going...i wasnt moaning away like you claim all i said was im playin bad and i got aggrivated because of the way you was playing, ive never seen anyone go so safe. If any long shots were on, you'd tap behind colours no doubt,i come here to play for fun m8, fair enough if you play safe but you went beyond safe play...after you went 3-0 up i started smashing the pack for open games and thats when i got it back, like i said in my last post i fluked a few (not 15 lol), there were 2 guests watchin us from start to finish and if they want to come say what they saw then i hope they do. At the end of the day your a bad loser. you've got a reputation of being a bad loser fair enough you Used to be awesome but now your not so awesome, you had your chances and it wasnt too late at all to come back m8 so dont come here with that rubbish, now go find your dummy ;).
i know im a bad loser and am no where as good as i used to be! (mainly down to the fact i dont play 24/7 like i used to, and like what every one does now!) that just goes to show how rubbish players are now! if some one who doesn't play any more, comes into this and gets the semi's, takes one of the favs to win it to a close game (would have been closer and even a possible win if not for fluked safetys) playing crap! but believe me it was around 10-15 fluked safetys!! the time of some of those safetys was the key! a few was at the end, when i only needed a couple balls for the game, you fluked them i got out but then you cleared! dont get me wrong, i missed a few balls to win games, but i was annoyed at the fact of these safetys! as for my safety, i am not going to risk a silly long shot to just gift you the game! im crap at long shots and then trying to pot them with 1440x900 res makes it even harder! ty Matt :D
I don't play 24/7 an I've come back after a year off an got crown pretty much straight away. If the other players play 24/7 they arnt very good...:p
Hi ronnie, I have been looking about for you mate. I will be on 8pm till 10pm monday tuesday and wednesday if u can make it. :p?
OMG ... VANIAN AND ROCKET ... you are both very good players but it is such a shame when you both bring the game in to dissrepute by moaning and crying like a couple of kids ... you are both high ranking players and should be showing more respect for each other and setting an example for others to follow ... is it worth entering competitions or even playing the game to achieve a high level only to end up having a slagging match which at the end of the day is totally pointless ???????????? grow up and show more respect for each other and everybody else !!!!!!!!!!!! mickranger2
It doesn't look like a slagging match to me Mick, it's more like spirit of competition (or something along those lines! :p).
Lol Mick, grow up? you of all people telling someone to grow up, now that is funny. how old are you 40-50? and everytime i come on you come in my games starting an argument like a little kid, why dont you mind your own business for once in your life and grow up yourself.
Mick, believe me it isn't a slagging match, if it was dont you think mods would have deleted them? All good players dont like losing!! if they did, they wouldn't be good?! You can ask any top player that! if they say otherwise they are lieing! So basicaly, if you dont like this, dont do anything in life, because there will always be people like this! ty Matt :D
Finally we got ourselves a final, Well done Ronnie! :p Ill be on tonight Uk time around 7pm and onwards in your on mate.
Woah I completely forgot I ever put my name down for this! I just stopped looking at the post untill Rockin music just told me he played me in the tourney!? It also says he won 3-1 in this post! Well I never played that game but to whoever pretended to be me and played it for me well done, and pitty you didn't do better:p
What gonna happen with this tourny, i aint seen Ronnie for months now so wonderin if anyone else has...
