Social is Everywhere

Big Event over the weekend

Friday Apr 04, 2008

I'm so looking forward to the 2nd biggest social event of the year for me.  Tomorrow I will participate, and co-organise, the Night of the Doubles snooker tournament at the snooker club where I play league matches.  The tournament will be played with 39 teams, split into 3 groups of 13.  Each team will compete against the other teams in a round robin format.


 

The tournament starts Saturday April 5 at 8 pm, we expect the qualifiers to finish around 10 am on Sunday April 6, and if all goes according to plan the winners of the tournament, and the 400 EUR cash prize, will be known around 5 pm on Sunday, so that's almost 21 hours of play.

This event is so special, I have competed in 5 events, and I can not count the number of times on 1 hand where I have been in stitches, with cramps from laughing, and this is per event.  The level of play diminishes as the hours pass by, and the level of conversation follows the same schedule, it's so hilarious around 7 or 8 am.  I will let you know how the tournament went for my teammate and me!

And if you're wondering what the biggest event is for me: it takes place on May 3rd, 2008
