Welcome to FPL Pot Black

This simple little game should keep your FPL selections skills finely honed.

The goal of the game is to score the highest break by keeping your predictions going. All you have to do is select TWO players each week to represent each pot attempt in order. Your break will continue as per standard rules of snooker until one of your selections does not score GREATER THAN your ball colour. Then you have to start all over again.

The highest break at the end of Gameweek 38 wins

For those who may not know snooker scoring, the points are as follows:

    Red=1, Yellow=2, Green=3, Brown=4, Blue=5, Pink=6, Black=7
    You need to pot a red then a colour 15 times, then pot the colours in points order.

There is a maximum possible 18 weeks for a break: 15 x red & colour selections, followed by three weeks of colour pairs.

How to Enter: Use the following format -

    Eagle224 Red, Hart(MC), Blue, Drogba(CH)

You can abbreviate the colour selection to the following if you wish: R,Y,G,Br,Bl,P,B Beware: B is the Black ball

I'll let people know if they've reached 15 reds followed by 15 colours when posting the weekly scores.

NOTE: There are several Young's and Cole's etc in the FPL. Please make it 100% clear which player you are selecting. If there is any confusion, I will take the lowest scoring player that matches to be the correct one.

You can select the same player more than once during a break but you can not select the same player for both shots each week.

Happy potting!

Finished for 2010/2011 season.

NOTE: If you miss a week you will have to start again, so please PM your selections in advance if you are going to miss any gameweeks.

PLEASE KEEP ALL THE ENTRIES IN A SINGLE ACCUMULATED POST BY ADDING YOUR SELECTIONS TO THE LAST ONE THAT POSTED

Can you use the same player more that once in a break. i.e. can I just pick Drogba for every shot I take?

You can select the same player more than once during a break but you can not select the same player for both shots each week.

The only rule I was toying with was that you have to have different selections from your previous week just to prevent someone playing the same two players every week. What do people think, allow the same each week or not? Any more than that would become a bit too much to admin.

If it keeps the game cleaner and the admin easier then I see no problem with people picking the same players every week, they wil get caught out eventually 8-)

If it is not a major admin hassle, I'd suggest different selections each week. Makes it more topsy turvy.

Crispybits and TheTon both snookered by their respective yellows and miss their reds.
The Pom wishes he'd picked the other way around, easily pots the red but misses the black by some distance.

Ironfist, Bigcliff2 and Beganboy lining up their colour shot and the rest of the field are still attempting their first red.

Carnage! Liverpool's shock result at home to Blackpool and injury to Torres after 10 mins. hitting hard.

Only myself and Richt get breaks underway, both scoring 6.

Sympathy for thebillfella who see's his blue rattle around the jaws of the pocket but, without a bit of bonus luck to see it over the lip, stay on the table to fall short.

Current Breaks:
Eagle224 Pots=2, Score=6
Richt Pots=2, Score=6

The rest of the field will have to start again.
