Round Robin format delivers more pool matches

SAM Leisure Posted on December 12, 2018 by LiamDecember 12, 2018

The new double round robin format was well received at BAPTO 2018, keeping teams playing Friday and Saturday, with 6 matches of pool before any chance of being knocked out. Every team that attended was guaranteed 48 frames of pool, with 64 teams going through to the Sunday knockout stages and sharing in a massive £16,000 prize fund. Prizes were paid down to the last 64 in the Men’s singles, giving many more players a share of the prize fund. Visit the BAPTO Facebook group for the weekend pics, videos and banter.

Only another 6 months before registration opens for BAPTO 2019 and just under 7 months until the Novice weekend of the Golden 8 Ball festivities!

A close finals match saw Wales’s Phil Hoskins come out on top against Dean Shields in a deciding frame in the Men’s singles final, to win 4-3.

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, fantastic venue and location in Blackpool. Great to meet new people but also catch up with some old faces.

Fantastic party atmosphere and we’re all still trying to work out who (heck) Alice is, ha ha.

The Bears snatch the Plate at Blackpool

SAM Leisure Posted on November 30, 2018 by LiamNovember 30, 2018

BAPTO FInals 2018

In the Team event, the plate final saw BAPTO veterans, The Bears from Wisbech, take on the Oracle T-Totals, who found themselves unfortunately 2 players short prior to the event.  Fortunately, thanks to the foresight of Rob Pearce and Sharon Griffiths who have a random drawn ‘reserve player’ list, they were able to pick up two capable players to help them go all the way to the Final, but unfortunately for them, it was one ask too many as they fell short to the strength of The Bears, who lifted the trophy, losing 3-6.

BAPTO Team Final 2018 goes to Blackball shoutout!

SAM Leisure Posted on November 27, 2018 by LiamNovember 27, 2018

Four busy days of pool took place, which saw many welcome new faces and teams from the World Rules contingent of the game and three AFEBAS teams from France. The new double round robin team format created blackball shootouts a-plenty and ultimately concluded with Wigan’s ‘Q8’nt Seen Nothing Yet’ being defeated by Sheffield’s ‘Renishaw Miners Welfare B’, in a sudden death penalty shoot-out, in the Team Trophy finale.

The game went to a blackball shootout, and the teams couldn’t be separated after 5 penalties a piece, so sudden death beckoned!

It was short-lived though, after Renishaw potted their spot-to-spot black, and Q8’s black rattled unforgivingly in the corner bag, giving them a none too shabby runners-up place in the 128-team tournament.

Such an exciting match was the perfect culmination for the 5,000+ viewers sat at home, who had been watching key BAPTO matches throughout the weekend, thanks to the excellent live streaming services provided by local Blackpool firm, Tsunami streaming.

SAM Leisure Posted on November 23, 2018 by LiamNovember 23, 2018

The second week in November may not be a peak time to visit the seaside town of Blackpool, but the Norbreck Castle Hotel was absolutely bouncing last weekend with an unprecedented buzzing atmosphere, as it welcomed pool players from the UK and France to the 42nd BAPTO Tournament!

Over 700 players and spectators graced the Norcalympia arena for an extended weekend of singles, mixed doubles and of course, the 5-player team event which started on the Friday morning.

Seasoned BAPTO Referee, Donna Coatsworth said of the event; “It was without a doubt, THE best BAPTO event to date.  This is a prestigious and traditional competition, but the inclusion of music during the matches was inspired.

It showed the comp was prepared to move with the times and provide an amazing atmosphere throughout the whole weekend.

Listening to 700+ people really enjoying themselves and singing along and dancing to ‘Sweet Caroline’ was what every event should be about!”

BAPTO Welcomes AFEBAS Teams from France

SAM Leisure Posted on October 24, 2018 by LiamOctober 24, 2018

 

BAPTO are delighted to announce that three teams from the renowned AFEBAS Blackball Association in France, will be attending the BAPTO finals this November. They are sending three of their winning amateur teams, from the lowest divisions of their annual ‘AFEBAS DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONS FINAL’ event, to compete for the ‘BAPTO 2018 Team Trophy’ title and add to the history books of the UK’s longest established pool tournament.

These are genuine French pub teams, that play throughout the year in a league, to win a place at the Divisional Champions Final.  It is exciting to have teams attend that have qualified through the traditional method that BAPTO created back in the 1980’s and 1990’s, during the peak years of pub league pool.

We welcome the following French AFEBAS teams and ask all players attending to give them a friendly welcome and show them what a great event BAPTO is: Team LES POTO’s – Champions of Departmental 2 Division; Team LES MARINA’s POOL – Champions of Departmental 1 Division; Team LES HAPPY’s DAYS – Champions of National 3 Division.
