2006 WORLD LADIES BILLIARDS & SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP - 1st – 6th April 2006 - Cambridge Snooker Centre
Just got back from Cambridge Snooker Centre, where I optimised the 8 tables being used for the World Ladies Championship 2006.
I also optimised the Riley Aristocrat Tournament Champion practice tables of Joe Perry and Neil Robertson. Best of luck to the guys at Sheffield, at least they are practicing on optimised tables. I state now that the tables at Sheffield will not play as well as Neil Robertson's table. There is an issue with Joe Perry's table, which I will highlight in the analysis. Should still play OK, but Neil's table surface is better.
I will be analysing the data over the weekend. Look out for some colour maps of the tables with comments.
Cambridge SC is a superb facility for the serious player. Friendly staff, and the management have real enthusiasm for the game. Phil Mumford was a good host and grasped the concept of the optimising by laser level. Never ask for a thermos flask to be filled with boiling water though!
I am hoping for good feedback from the Ladies, here's hoping for record breaks in the competition!
