    You were out of the gates like a pro and went 4 - 0 up and that was your victory sealed. I haven't played 8-ball since the semi-final and technique was rusty. Congrats, man.

    I'm done with all this 8-Ball malarkey. Enjoy the next tournament, fellas and congratulations again, Grid.

    Thanks to all the gang that kept the tournament going; GeorgieGirl (TommieBoy), Grid, and all the rest of yiz. Especially during the league stage where things were a little complicated and compiling scores and stats was probably a tad tricky and took time to do. It was much appreciated.

    I'm sure all the Players will join me in thanking your dedication. :)

    Well done Grid!

    On to the next one (which should have a group system rather than a league type system, just so there are less matches and less time-commitment for people)

    can someone explain what "group system"means vs league type, please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2

    Simply put instead of having everyone play each other once you have 2 or 3 groups (so if there are 12 players you could have a 2 groups of 6 or 3 groups of 4). Everyone plays each other in the group and then the top few players go onto the knock-out rounds.

    Thanks for kind words, G, but 8 Ball is too time consuming and truth be told, the competitions are just not competitive at all. The past two competitions have shown a gulf in standard between some players. Thrashing somebody 8 - 0 is no fun and then the final is me and you again where you win by a couple frames.

    It might give some other players a chance of getting to the final and winning. Though not if you're in it, Grid. :D

    All the best, players. Have a blast. ;)

    Now, now, now we've had a number of the beast close encounters of the 3rd kind and the odd couple of victories against the ropes each dawn I die the other final the king and I need to get Carter for the last action hero WarGames that we've had the time of our lives and that the hunger games are less 2 tiers of the sun than what they were in the first wives club tournament
    I think there is a common consensus that the games can be too time consuming and a number of thoughts are floating around for a less time consuming type of game and tournament

    The towering inferno
    Nosferato
    Pulp fiction

    :)
    I'll get my amazing technicolor dreamcoat now

    The time commitment thing can be adjusted... but as for the rest, I am sorry you feel this way.... I had fun whether winning or losing. Perhaps the tournament can have a split bracket of better players and we not so perfect ones?

    Regardless though, cheers Pass and thanks for participating so adeptly - was a pleasure playing with you :)

    I played a bit last night. How do you get friends to play against? I'm on it as Andy - I'm in a Liverpool jersey (facebook profile photo) - as I couldn't find the previous user I set up ages ago.

    When you go to the Play Friends section, you can choose friends you have already added or search.

    You can only play someone who is online. Also, you can only add someone to your friends list when they are online.

    3-1 to Stereo with a charity cue ball pot on the 3rd game:P

    very enjoyable Stereo- not used to the PC version outside of this thread so thanks for the practice and well done;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭stereomatic


    It was 3-1 and it could've been 2-2

    I must get your new name CKDEXH down and get rid off your former name CKDEX

    i barely remembered my log in tonight after i posted here- i play a lot of tablet version these days just using a guest ID though i'm probably playing equally bad on that, but at least i've no excuse at the end of it:P

    I wish it was a charity cueball pot, I just friended your new name looking at you on level 18 you'll soon be overtaking my level :cool:

    ah, my PC version will go up very slowly as i mostly play tablet- if enough players here start converting to tablet, then i'll probably get a new ID and start again for that- with "games played" i'm probably around rank 21 but i stick to the "500" game mostly- have been burned so much on the 2500 game and a couple of 5000 games that i just gave up- i don't understand how people earn a few hundred million every week- obviously there's some trick i'm missing there-.

    anyway, great way to relax and thanks for taking the time Stereo.:)

    yeah, i'm amazed myself- they have a league on the mobile/tablet version- not sure if that's available on the PC version? but every week, just MAD figures- even in the "Ireland" league, I'm about 9000th - top 3 have way over 1 billion - then it's 100's of millions
