GRAND SLAM 2026/27🎱🎱
It’s that time of the year…. The big one!!
Defending Champ - Dan Connell 🏆
Most of you know the drill by now but here are the basics, please comment below if you want to enter the biggest local pool competition in the world!
FORMAT
Group stage (races to 9) followed by knockout stage to follow (races to 18 / double handicap)
3 points for a win, 1 losing bonus point should you lose 9-8
As usual there will be a main event KO and a plate KO, with our objective being that qualifying for the main event guarantees you the majority of your entry fee back (dependant on entry numbers)
PRIZE MONEY
All money in will be paid in prizes barring trophy costs, with the winner picking up £1000 in cash! (Again relying on entry figures)
WHEN DO WE PLAY?
The usual Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6pm and 7.30 start times
If for the vast majority of weeks, you aren’t eligible for a minimum of 2 of these start times, we are afraid this event isn’t for you
ENTRY FEE
£120 payable in 3 installments of £40
- £40 deposit payable upon entry
- £40 payable by October 31st
- £40 payable by November 31st
Entry is discounted to £80 total should you be voted a +5 handicap for the event
HANDICAPS
These range from -3 to +5
Each player is voted on by our 5 man Committee, consisting of Dave Rands, Dug McCall, James Stroud, Nathan Rushforth and Dan Connell
If you don’t agree with your handicap you have the opportunity to withdraw and be refunded your deposit before the group draw is done. Once the draw is done, all payments are non refundable
*no handicaps will be given out until £40 deposits are received
FINES
Cancelling your game on the day of your match (for any reason) will be subject to a £5 fine as per previous seasons
START DATE
This is not quite confirmed but we are looking and aiming at Monday 19th October
£40 deposit required to get your handicap voted on
