Editia din 2008 a Cupei Malta vine cu o inovatie in ceea ce priveste sistemul competitional, in sensul ca nu vom avea, asa cum eram obisnuiti pana acum, o desfasurare clasica a meciurilor, jucatorii urmand a fi impartiti in patru grupe de cate cinci. Invingatorul din fiecare grupa se califica in semifinale. Nimic neobisnuit pana aici, din moment ce un sistem asemanator este folosit si la Marele Premiu de la Aberdeen.
Cupa Malta proopune in acest an un sistem bazat pe puncte, la fel ca in Premier League. Astfel, in faza grupelor se disputa 6 frame-uri, existand posibilitatea ca meciurile sa se termine si la egalitate! Se acorda 2 puncte la victorie si un punct la meci nul!
Iata o descriere detaliata a sistemului de joc:
1. Each player will play a 6 frames match (all frames to be played) against each other member of his group.
2. The top player from each group will progress to the next round in the tournament.
3. Players must take part in all round robin matches in that round of the Tournament for their results in that round to count.
4. Two points will be awarded for each match won and one point for each drawn match.
5. The number of points won will determine the group positions.
6. Should there be an equal number of points won by two or more players, then the following criteria will determine the final position of each player in each group:
6.1 The player with the best Frame Difference
6.2 If two players are still equal then the player with the highest number of frames won
6.3 If two players are still equal, the winner of the match between the two players who are equal
6.4 If two or more players still remain tied then the following will apply:
6.4.1 Highest aggregate score from the matches between the tied players.
6.4.2 If players are still equal then the highest aggregate score of the tied players using all matches played in the round robin stage.
6.4.3 If players are still equal then a 1 frame play-off will decide the final group position.
7. If at any stage in the Tournament a player fails to play in any match in the Tournament he shall be deemed to have officially withdrawn from the Tournament.
8. If a player withdraws from the Tournament for whatever reason all matches in which he has played and results scored by him and his opponent in the round in which he has withdrawn shall be considered null and void.
9. A player who has withdrawn from the Tournament shall only be eligible to receive either points or prize money relating to that Tournament in accordance with Section II K 3.4 of the World Snooker Players’ Handbook.
10. High Breaks scored in a match that is subsequently considered null and void as a result of the withdrawal of a player from the Tournament will only be eligible for the High Break prize(s) in accordance with Section II K 3.4 of the World Snooker Players’ Handbook
11. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances or disputes arising in relation to the above competition format the Tournament Committee shall in its sole discretion consider each matter and make such decision as it deems fit. The Tournament Committee’s decision shall be final.
DEFINITIONS
FRAME DIFFERENCE is the Frames Won less the Frames Lost. eg. Player Wins 25 Frames and Loses 10 Frames = Frame Difference + 15.
AGGREGATE SCORE is the Total Frame Points won less Total Frame Points lost in all matches eg Player Wins match 1 with frame score 100-20 and loses match 2 with frame score 30-80 = Aggregate Score +30 points.
