Cheltenham High Bisque

14th August
(AC - Handicap)
August saw the two day Cheltenham High Bisque tournament. Managed by Adam Moliver with help from Darryl Whitehead. This is a mix of play and coaching.
Day one was three games of 18 points, full-bisque, base five.
Day Two was 22 point games for the semi finals and final while others had coaching and/or coached/supervised games .
Two hot days, especially the second day, led to a final between Elaine Smith (Cheltenham) and Colin Carver (Enfield). Colin won and as a result had a two step handicap change; long overdue!
Along the way we had one accidentally pegged-out game leading to a one-ball game finish and another game ending in an exciting golden hoop.
Players struggeld with fast lawns ond day one, but overnight storms and a pre-set irrigation schedule led to more forgiving conditions on day two .
For those new to AC this is a good way to get into tournament play.
