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.
