Details about the small billiards game

I'm a billiards fan, and I often take part in some small-scale competitions (average level ...). Generally, there are not too many people taking part in the billiards competition of the gymnasium club, about 50- 100. The elimination system is certain, and so is the grouping. If you count according to your number, assuming that the number of participants is between 64- 128, you can divide them into 8 groups, each with the least number. If the number of participants is odd, then there must be a bye in the first round. The principle of grouping is: 1, and the number of people in each group is evenly distributed. 2. Draw lots to decide the grouping. 3. Promotion by single elimination system. 4. Advance with the first place in the group.

Legend: Suppose 65 people take part in the competition.

Group competition: divided into A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H groups.

Group A: Zhang San, Li Si ... (* * eight people)

Group B: XXX, XXX...(* * eight people)

..... and so on.

Group H: so-and-so, so-and-so ... (Nine people) There is one more person in this group, and it will be decided by lot. To put it bluntly, whoever wins is lucky, and the first round is bye-bye.

It is very important to draw lots, preferably for a group match, so the arena must have a blackboard or whiteboard for drawing lots so that everyone can see the ranking of the lots.

For example:

Group a

Zhangba

Zhang yi Zhang ba

One, four, five, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight.

Eight people in group A draw lots and decide their opponents after grouping. You can make a table like this. It is clear at a glance that whoever wins will write the winner. As shown in the above picture, Zhang Ba finally won the championship in Group A..

The quarter-finals are the same as above, and re-drawing is actually equivalent to regrouping.

For example:

C tou

C tou g tou

Head b, head c, head f and head g.

Head, head, head, head, head, head, head.

The above picture means that each group competed for the first place, and finally the first place in Group C won the championship. You can also compete for three or four places.

The above is the schedule of a relatively regular large-scale billiards competition I have experienced, and I hope it can help you.
