Knockout 04 was part of
and was a 4 tier Singles Tournament
The Singles
Knockout Tournament kicked of at 12.00 o'clock on the
Sunday. There was to be a Main, Consolation, Last Chance,
Suicide, Dead'n'Buried and Cremated Tournaments with an
optional pool of £10 or £5 in the Main and a £5 pool in the
Consolation.
Players played their first two rounds in the Knockout and then
the Sunday Tric Trac Tourno started as well.
There were matches happening all over the place, some Knockout
and some Tric Trac - Players had to alter their tactics
according to the format they were playing. As T.D. of the
Knockout I had got, despite hours of preparation for it, my
set-up slightly wrong and the Dead'n'Buried and Cremated
tournaments were dropped. I don't think anybody minded
probably because they were all busy playing TTT matches.
The Final of the 7 pointer Main went to double match point and
was between John Broomfield and Grant Jewsbury. John is a well
known and very good Player. Grant's first live Tournament had
been at this event last year where he won 1 years free
subscription to BIBA and has since played at BIBA events. Both
wanted the win and both played well. But it was John B who
gained the upper hand and won the match and hence the Knockout
Trophy, a copy of Chris Brays book 'What Colour is the Wind?'
and 5 Champ'o'Champs points.
The Consolation was won by Guy, the Last Chance by Stan and
the Suicide by Mazda who all also won Playmaker-world
membership. Chris and Jo both showed great promise and were
given membership to BIBA.
