This 9 week tournament, unlike its predecessors will be DOUBLE ELIMINATION with shorter match lengths. The only matches which will exceed 11 racks, will be:
Quarter Finals ( 13 Racks )
Semi-Finals ( 15 Racks )
Final ( 17 Racks )
This will hold true for both the winner and losers brackets of the tournament. See Tournament Bracket Here
The Timeframe to play each match against your opponent will be 1 week, and i will provide both players with the others e-mail information. Given that races will only be to 11 racks, this should provide no such scheduling issues between players. A race to 11 Rack match takes roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete or less
IF FOR ANY REASON, 2 PLAYERS IN ANY ONE WEEK CANNOT COMPLETE THEIR MATCH (DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS OR OTHER COMMITMENTS), I WILL ASSIGN (PLAYER A) HEADS AND (PLAYER B) TAILS, AND TOSS A COIN! AND PUT THE FORTUANTE PERSON THROUGH! SORRY BUT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN THINK OF TO MAKE IT FAIR FOR ALL!!!
(BUT REMEMBER, THIS IS DOUBLE ELIMINATION, TWO CHANCES!!)
Remember to head to Poolpulse to leave a message for your opponent in REAL TIME once the tournament begins, SPONSORING MATHPULSE, A VISION FOR MATHEMATICS, FOREVER, FREE, FOR ALL PEOPLE, and through such innovation makes all things possible, CARPULSE, interested in cars? talk about others who are interested in cars, SEWINGPULSE, talk to others interested in sewing
TALK TO PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SIMILAR THINGS, LESS RANDOMNESS, MORE CHOICE, MORE POSSIBILITY FOR GAINING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN, IN YOUR LIFE.
Signups are limited to a maximum of
256 players
The tournament will commence on January 2nd 2012, after Christmas, so all players, Virtual and Professional alike, if they are fortunate enough to have families, can spend this special time with their loved ones without interuption. The lead up to this tournament will be extremely relaxed, with Professional Players encouraged to download gamespy and come play in the Virtual Pool 3 Lobby with their fellow Virtual Players.
PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE ABILITY OF OUR VIRTUAL POOL PLAYERS, THEY HAVE IN MANY
CASES OVER A DECADE OF VIRTUAL POOL PLAYING EXPERIENCE AND IN MANY CASES REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE TO IN SOME CASES THE VERY HIGHEST DEGREE (QBall70, Real Life 147 Snooker Break)
IF YOU LOSE TO THESE PLAYERS IT WILL BE NO EMBARRESMENT, THEY USE A MOUSE AS YOU USE A CUE, THEY KNOW THE SHOTS, THEY PLAY THE GAME IN THEIR MIND, AS YOU PLAY IT IN YOUR MIND, BUT VIRTUAL PLAYERS, DO NOT THINK A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER CANNOT GET USED TO PLAYING WITH YOUR 'CUE', this is the beauty of the tournament, its a total unknown quantity from every perspective!
