This is a good idea in principle to have a tourney for those of us who are not so good at Snooker.
However as was proved last night we had a tournament that started at 8.10 GMT with only 12 sign ups that still took over 5 hours to finish.
The main problem is obvious to me.
Those who are 1000 and under will always take longer to complete a frame and in a match that is best of 3 frames,these matches are taking over an hour to complete.
As a comparison we had a Sunday snooker tourney that had at least 23 players signed up that took over 5 hours and still wasnt finished when i called a halt to it....but that was due to the amount of entries.
So my solution is one of two options
First one is not to have these tourneys at all
Second one is to make them one frame only
Ill give you a rough estimate of the length of the average frame.
In real snooker the average frame takes 20 minutes
In vp3 for the better players a frame can take around 15-20 minutes...but as in real snooker if theres a substantial break,could take as little as 10 or 12 minutes.
Interested to hear opinions from those 1000 and below players to se what they think.
Snooker rating 1000 and under

hugh, the idea wth one frame to win is good, you can make the final best of 3, but other rounds only best of 1, because the <1000 ratings doesnt play so well to complete a frame with a century break.
Oh Well!
