Junior Snooker & Billiards Championships 2011 Venue:
ACBS Clubrooms, Mt Albert Rd, Royal Oak, Auckland Dates:
10th Oct 14th Oct 2011 Report
for the above Junior Champs as follows: It
was intended to hold these championships in Tauranga, however due to the RWC,
and change of the School Holidays and personal family health problems this event
was brought back to Auckland. Our numbers were down this year from last year, 37
down to 24 competitors 12 players from HB 11 players from Auckland and 1 player
from North Otago. 21 males and 3 females competed. Format-
The
tournament time for snooker was shortened to 4 ½ days, so the U13, U15 &
U17 section play was completed on a 2 frame aggregate, the U19 & U21 was the
best of 3 frames, post section the best of 3 frames, U21 was the best of 5
frames. This gave us enough time complete section play. Billiards we had 12
players competing in this years Inaugural Junior Billiards competition which we
completed 20min time limit one frame, there were 3 sections of 4 players plus
the next best 2 thirds. Dress standards were adhered to ACBS standards. Accommodation
We used the marae facilities at Te Kura Kaupapa Maori A Rohe O Mangere, and
this proved to be adequate for the numbers that we had, some of the locals also
moved onto the marae and this assisted with the inter action of the players. The
three females that were competing were accommodated in West Auckland and this
was done for safety reasons. The
cost for 5 nights for approx 20 people amounted to $750 plus key money of $70.
Half of this cost was covered by HB group. Transport
A 12 seater van was used by the HB Group, supervised by Dennis Lowe. Our 8
seater van was also used to help transport players. Food
Lunches and dinners were provided and sponsored by the ACBS. HB provided
funding for the breakfasts & odd bits we brought i.e. drinks, fruit, and ice
cream. Thanks to ACBS and HB for their support. Trophies
We forwarded a quote for the trophies at $1,939.11 but this was not
sponsored by any organization this year, so maybe next year we can request that
one of the associations submit an application on our behalf for the trophies for
the 2012 event. NZBSA provided $300 towards the trophies which amounted to
$263.40, the residual went towards prizes $36.60. We bought trophies for each
division for the winner and runner up and the plate winner plus the Most
Outstanding, Most Improved and Fair play Award. Prizes
Every player recd a playing shirt (black) and a bow tie (3 colours to choose
from). Every player recd a certificate as well, acknowledging their
participation and result. Refereeing
and Rules
Cliff Hazeldon from the NZBSA Referees Association contributed 2 days to this
event, he held 2 sessions with our juniors covering some basics skills and
answering any questions they had regarding rules etc, All those that attended
his session recd a Rule Book and an Etiquette Book. Some of the juniors have
also been given the questionnaire for completing. Thanks
Cliff this was well worth it, and I am sure that the juniors appreciated your
time and contribution. Thanks to Ron Slow and the NZBSA Referees Association. Billiards
& Coaching-
John Keatley made himself available to coach any of the juniors that wanted help
with their game. John also gave some Billiards coaching and booklets to some of
the juniors Basic Billiards by John Keatley. A CD was given to Dennis Lowe
and if any of the juniors wanted a copy of this they could approach John or
Dennis, John offered to email the program as well. Thanks John for your time
coaching and for refereeing some of the billiards matches. I am sure the juniors
enjoyed your input and found it well worthwhile. This event was an open grade
event which meant anyone could enter and there was only the one tournament
Open Grade Junior Billiards. Entertainment
Wednesday night the juniors at the marae went to the movies, paid for by Dennis
Lowe. The girls attended the movies on Thursday night. General
this
year Junior Snooker champs has once again been a success and with the
introduction of Junior Billiards, this made it more interesting for the juniors.
Both games compliment each other and will help develop the all round skills of
our young players of tomorrow. It is with pleasure that I am happy to say too
all those that made this possible, thank you all. The ACBS have made a
tremendous contribution providing meals, certificates, and stationary and having
the tables prepared and ready for match play each day thanks to Malcolm,
Clive, Mandy, Barry, Dawn, Liz, Leslie and Ramona and the ACBS Committee. Thanks
to the Kura Kaupapa Marae in Mangere for giving us a reasonable and affordable
form of accommodation. To our Hawkes Bay team of Dave Holmes and Dennis Lowe,
another great effort from you guys and all the juniors from HB. Thanks to all
those that attended to fundraising at Pockets Glen Eden. Thanks to the players
