Blind Doubles Open

The Alternate Thursday Pool League Competition Draw Sheet

Blind Doubles Open | Round 1

Matches to be played by Friday 07 November 2025

Welcome to the Blind Doubles Open

The aim of this competition is to increase awareness of Blackball Rules (BB Rules) by pairing non BB rule players with experienced players.

Therefore for this competition only, talking will be allowed during each visit (while a pair is in play).

All other rules as per the official BB rules apply with the exception of shot timing. No shot timing (unless deemed necessary on Finals and Presentation night) will be utilised.

Good luck, have fun and most importantly, learn some more about BB rules.

Regards,

Tom and the Committee.
