Was in Rileys last night and they seem to be doing a promotional thing for power snooker. Not sure if it is just in the one I went in in Liverpool but they gave us free games of power snooker for a few hours. Then afterwards the lady who put it all on for us offered us all free tickets to go see the tournament this weekend in Manchester.
May be worth going to your local Rileys seeing if you can get yourself some free tickets, I unfortunately couldn't take up the offer as I am otherwise engaged this weekend but should go have a look if you can!

Don't ask what my score was, my highest break was 42 though which I was pleased with, but we were playing on a half size table as it was the only available one at the time. Oh and we never played full games, whoever was ahead after the first rack was finished won as we had 6 of us and wanted to keep it quick.

Awww, my local Rileys shut down not so long ago!
And as it was a 24 hour bar it used to be great finish work at whatever time and always a good place to go for a beer
But that's a really good promotion if they are doing it everywhere!

To be fair I don't think it is a ver well known tournament, but yeah they must be struggling for it to give them away.

Its on ITV4 this weekend.
O'sulivan won it last year was better than your average snooker tournament, Crowd could shout n sing. And the players were dressed more casually, Walk on music with girls.
Bit like the dart events really, Like who would go and watch darts live if you could not sing and jump on the tables if there was a 9 darter?
Snooker needs to get with the 21st century and get a young audience, This is a good way of doing it.
I bet shaun murphy will win it..

All the commentators are saying people at home will be confused by the rules... anyone else feeling smug knowing all the rules???

Pipe down you, as if you no the rules! Just like your carom game, you just aim at the edge and hit it full power.
My mate won two tickets for the tournament for winning a darts competition with 5 people in it at a pub.
Honestly, his darts are awful. The highest throw between all the 5 players was 58, dreadful.
So with that considered and the fact its on ITV4, did you expect it to be well known? .
I have played it and its not super easy. 20 second shot limit is fine, I usually whizz around the table anyway, sometimes though, I play into the baulk after potting a red, thinking the black off spot is easy. I forget its a little more tricky cutting the black from the opposite end of the table than it is on funky .
I am not bad at snooker/pool, but I occassionally miss the ball im aiming for when going up or down the table ha! When you play power, then watch the pro's play it, it shows the difference in quality even more so than normal snooker imo.
As they try to show boat more, showing off 'cue power' and playing 5 cushion around the table to finish perfect on a ball, its just sexy!
