I still have a bit to go, have played 4 of my 9 frames so far. Hopefully will get some more in tomorrow.
In that case, Johnny and I have completed our match.
My top nine were: 64, 51, 48, 42, 39, 36, 35, 29, 26

Would’ve kicked hole in this competition in my day. 145 is a hell of a high break.

I don't get how you decide which breaks are put together.
by the way, seeing the standard of play, is it too late to withdraw?

Yes, I'm confused too (and not a little embarrassed by my efforts on Saturday evening, by comparison) - I thought we were just posting our top 9 breaks; should we be posting frames scores too?
Any chance of a sample template ?

Johnny - 97?! Was that a TC or did you miss?
This competition is throwing some interesting talking points...

Johnny Bravo's 9 highest breaks were: 97, 64, 54, 51, 46, 37, 32, 30, 28
Pink Ball's were: 64, 51, 48, 42, 39, 36, 35, 29, 26
So of those 18, the 9 highest comprises 5 of Johnny's and 4 of Pink's. I used those as the 9 frame winning scores and paired them with the remaining 9 break scores to get some 'frame scores'. I then put the frames in a random order.
Nothing scientific about it, just thought it was a more interesting way to present the result :)

I think "DECLINE!" would be an appropriate way to describe the scores that will follow from the other matches

chengdufan wrote:Yes, I would really love to hear from both players about the breaks they remember most clearly from these sets.
What was the situation when you came to the table? Any tricky ones or flukes to keep the breaks going?
Anything particular satisfying like breaking the pack open, or getting position using a lot of side?
How did it break down?
How did your real life opponent play?
Pink Ball wrote:Really enjoyed that. Well done Johnny. Even leaving the 97 aside, you were a few points better on nearly every break.
Hope this will run again next year. I’m inspired to practice more!
Pink Ball wrote:Played 14 frames altogether to get the nine breaks, lost 9-5.
Can't remember much about the specific breaks except for the 51: three reds, three blacks and the colours. That and the 64 weren't particularly difficult breaks. With the 64 there were a lot of reds split and the break broke down at the first sign of trouble.
The 35 and the 26 came in the same frame, which was really satisfying actually.

So you made all those breaks and still lost 9 - 5 how good is your son? what were his breaks?
