The Matpine 2011 Snooker season will start on Wednesday 20th April and Thursday April 21st
This year we have an increase of 1 team in each night's play, with both rosters having 7 teams and playing for 21 weeks before the finals start
Rosters can be viewed under the Snooker tab at the top of the home page and then select Snooker Wednesday or Thursday night results and rosters are also attached at the bottom of this article to view or save as a PDF file for your reference
For this year only we are trialing a new rule, where players will be allowed to play in both Wednesday and Thursday night's competition, without any restriction on the amount of games played and being allowed to play in finals, the main reason for this rule change was to allow Peter Donati to play in the Wednesday night competition and to help a new young team of players with our game and the playing rules, the change will also benefit the LWC Red team who are short on playing numbers and will be able to use players from the Thursday night competition to play in their team on a Wednesday night, players will play of two different sets of handicaps (Wednesday / Thursday night handicaps and these will be adjusted accordingly each week), the NTB&SA welcome your feedback during the year on this change and you can
Thanks to Matpine Timber Merchants and Sawmillers for their continued sponsorship of the NTB&SA 2011 Snooker Seaon and please support the locals
