<description><![CDATA[Hey foosers first off thanks for all the support and a great start to the Friday night events at Dukes.  Now that we have three weeks in we are planning a slight change in the format at Dukes Friday's.<br/><br/>We are going to now have singles every other week starting this Friday.  <br/><br/><b>The format for singles will be as follows. </b><br/><br/><b>Starting Time 6:30</b> - <br/><br/>We are moving this up 30 minutes as the goal is to have singles done before the BYP begins.  That way Steve Tellas may actually get to finish.<br/>Entry Fee - Master/Pro $8 - Expert $6 - AM/Beginner $5<br/>Format will depend on amount of players<br/><br/>16 or more players - Single elimination 3 out of 5 - Payout to 4th place - 1st 50% - 2nd - 30% - 3rd/4th - 10% each<br/>15 - 10 players - Double elimination 2/3 Winners / 7-11 Losers till 4th place. Payout to 3rd place - 1st 60% - 2nd 30% - 3rd 10%<br/>9 or less - Double elimination 2/3 Winners and Losers.  Payout same as above.<br/>Highest placing Am/Beg gets free entry in the next singles event at Dukes.<br/>Pot will be 100% entry fees plus $2 per entry added.<br/><br/><b>The BYP will be run as follows</b><br/><br/><b>Starting time 8:30</b><br/><span style="font-family:verdana">If a team wins two weeks in a row they are not allowed to play together for the next two weeks.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-family:verdana">The highest placing Amateur or Beginner team will get $30 provided the following conditions are met</span><br/>They do not place in the money If a team does place in the money we will pay the next team provided there are at least three rook/beginner teams in the event.<br/>If the 3rd place finish is less than $30 the monies from the Beg/Am winner will be added to 3rd place to ensure they get at least $30.  The following is an actual example of how this works.<br/><br/><b>Am/Beginner payout example</b><br/><br/>Last week Jim K and Miles finished 3rd with a payout of $20.  There was 4 Beg/Am teams.  Age and Eric F finished 5th and should have gotten a payout of $30.  However a team finishing 5th should not get more that a team finishing 3rd.  So we would then take 10 from the 5th place team and give it to the 3rd place team.  Therefore Jim and Miles would get $30 and Age and Eric F would get $20<br/>In order for their to be a Beginner/Am payout a minimum of three teams must be signed up for the tournament.<br/><br/>Entry Fees are as follows - Pro $10 - Expert $10 - Amateur $7 - Beginner $5<br/><br/>Format - all games 2/3 both Winners and Losers<br/>Payouts will be as follows  - 100% entry fees plus $3 dollars per player added<br/><br/>12 or more teams - 1st 50% - 2nd 25% - 3rd 15% - 4th 10%<br/>11 - 7 teams - 1st 55% - 2nd 30% - 3rd 15%<br/>6 or less teams - 1st 65% - 2nd 35%<br/><b><br/></b><br/><b>General items of note - </b><br/><br/>I just purchased new bearings and 36 new balls.  Balls will be changed out and refurbished every three weeks.  <br/>Old bearings have been swapped out and rods have all been re-polished.<br/>Starting times will be strictly enforced please be on time!<br/><br/><br/>Hope to see you all Friday.<br/><br/><br/>Brad<br/><i>edited by chambie on 7/8/2015</i>]]></description>
