FPL 9-Ball Tournament

All entrants are now in and the draw has been made for round 1

The Game:
The game is played as if both players are playing 9-ball on tables, side by side, player 1 just ahead of player 2.

Rules:
1. The 9-ball must be potted to win.
2. Balls are potted in numerical order, starting at 1, by picking an FPL player that outscores your ball number.
    This continues until someone pots the 9-ball or the time limit for a game is reached
3. Player selection for your head-to-head MUST be different from your opponent. First to post will have priority.

Scoring:
Entrants score by selecting ONE player from the next FPL fixtures to represent their attempt to pot a ball.

If your selection scores MORE THAN the current ball number, your pot is successful:
    If this pot was the 9-ball, you've won!, otherwise a 'Skill Shot' is awarded

If your selection scores 0 or less, your shot is deemed a 'foul'.
    A "Free Pot" award is given to your opponent, if they are on the 9-ball you've probably just lost!
    You lose any "Free Pot" award you have

Other scores, your pot misses:
    If you have a "Free Pot" award, your initial miss is 'fluked' and becomes a pot

Missing or duplicate entries will score 0 and a "Free Pot" awarded to your opponent.

Skill Shots:
When a player successfully pots their ball, excluding a 'fluke', the actual score of the FPL player will also be taken into account as a skillful canon shot.
Additional scoring will be applied as follows:
    If the player scores exactly 9, you've also potted the 9-ball to win!
    Your highest value unpotted ball, up to the 8-ball, which is less than or equal to the FPL players score is also potted.
    If you have no unpotted ball matching the previous rule, your skill shot misses

Free Pots:
When a selected FPL player scores 0 or less your opponent will get a "Free Pot" award which will turn their next miss into a 'fluked' pot, provided they score more than 0.
Only one "Free Pot" award can be active at any time per game and it is carried over until used.

Order of Play:
This is important for the overall scoring - it gives players a chance at a direct pot before any skill shots are applied.
Play will be in the following order using all the rules mentioned above: "Free Pot" awards are played as soon as a miss occurs.
    Player 1 pot attempt
    Player 2 pot attempt
    Player 1 'Skill Shot' award
    Player 2 'Skill Shot' award

Time Limit:
I will allow a maximum of 6 gameweeks to complete a game. After 6 gameweeks, the game winner will be decided as follows:
    The player with the most balls potted
    The player with the highest potted ball number, working back from the 8-ball until a winner is found
    The player quickest to the highest potted ball, based on order of play, if both players potted balls are the same

Keeping track
I will keep track of balls potted and remind players what ball number they are trying to pot each week and the scoreboard will also show balls potted by each player.
The quickest win will be to find a player who scores 9 points in a gameweek to sink that all important 9-ball as a 'skill shot'.

GameWeek 8: All players start on the 1-ball this week.

You need to pick an FPL player that will score MORE THAN 1pt this week to successfully pot your ball and gain a 'skill shot' award.
Ideally, you are looking for a player that will score a perfect 9 pts to sink the 9-ball and gain a quick victory.

Avoid picking any FPL players that score 0 or less as you will give away a 'Free Pot' to your opponent.

The draw:

Game 1: Digsby v Brightwater
Game 2: Shaggy365 v Baganboy
Game 3: Crispybits v Eagle224
Game 4: Colbert v Golden Bear
Game 5: Richt v Sir_John_Grimes
Game 6: Blahblah v Surprised
Game 7: TheTon v Pink_Elephantz
Game 8: Ironfist v Abcd1234

Let the game commence ...

It's going to take me a while to digest the rules!

Our player pick can be anyone or do they need to be in our FPL team?

Anyone you think will score more than 1pt this week - ideally 9 pts.

An example game has been added to the entry thread - please view this for a sample of how the rules are applied.

If you keep your picks in one post it will make it easier for everyone to see if their opponent has already picked.

Please remember to make it very clear which player you are selecting if you are chosing Young, Cole or any other player with similar names to others.

A true story from yesterday. My Karate expert grandchildren played a marathon game of 9-ball, with lots of ball in hand shots. I was talking them through the rules and positional play, and all was going well until 9yo grandson pots the 9-ball and celebrates. 11yo grandaughter floors him for being "a bad winner". :evil:

I'll select my player nearer to the deadline.

In case of last minute injury/selection news, you may alter your selections up to the gameweek deadline but please remember they must be different to your opponents.

Ironfist, you may wish to re-consider your entry selection: Drogba
