    New tournament league starts tomorrow night!!!! Remember all you need is 20 points between the 14th of September and the 9th of October

    am i the only one thinking that 20 points is a bit too much? it is a very good way to boost numbers for all games, i just thought 20 points was too much. if you play twice a week you have to place 1/2 everytime.
    are you expecting many for this tournament? 1/2 tables?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭thejackpot


    Its not as hard as you think you actually recieve 9pnts if you win, 7 for the win plus 2 for playing and so on!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭thejackpot


    6 runners for tuesday's round of each tourney so if you're after your points pop in on Tiesday nights!!
