The thing that appeals to me most about Revolving Cues is how hard it is to score points. Winning the competition with 12 points drives that home.
For Prop to score 4 points in two tournaments makes him the worthy winner in my opinion.

I seem to remember no-one scored any points for months!
Yes well done Prop

And if anyone has any better ideas for tie breakers - or thinks they should be removed - feel free to let me know.
I would like to register my participation here for next season in the meantime.

You can join literally whenever you want. The first eligible tournament will be the European Masters I think.
I’ll set up the new thread in due course.

This is not a problem and I'm not complaining about it. I'm just enquiring. I will definitely put my entry in the new thread. However, you said: "You can join literally whenever you want". So I put my entry in straight away. Then you tell me: "I won’t count this unless you put it in the new thread". As I mentioned earlier, it's not a problem and I'm not complaining about it. But it does seem a bit contradictory to me. Has something changed?

Akin to playing three cushion carom. First to 3 points could take hours

Iranu, in the wake of the WPBSA investigation into - and subsequent punishments for - the recent match-fixing and betting transgressions, can I ask what measures are in place to ensure the integrity and fairness of the forthcoming Revolving Cues 2023/24 event?
