Robin Brown won the Chairman's Salver
[<<] [>>] by Robin Brown
at Colchester
12th September 2000
(AC - Championships)
Robin Brown won the Chairman's with 10 wins beating Jeremy Dyer with 9 and Ed Duckworth with 8. It was largely a close fought event with 5 players still in contention with 2 rounds to go (although Jeff required a fairly specific sequence of results ending in a 4 way tie).
Conditions generally easy but many games strewn with errors. Brown won by making fewer errors and being more clinical in completing triples with 6 plus a nztpo (deliberately completing the tpo in 2 turns, 1peel on first break stopping at 1 back then complete the 2 peels on oppo, 2 peels on partner, double peg out leaving 1 v 3b).
No-one else completed more than 2 tps which given the conditions and standard of players was surprising.
