Can a trophy be too shiny?! 🤷‍♂️ Ignore my orange hoodie and look at he beautiful new trophy & shield up for grabs in tomorrow's 3rd level team snooker competition. The medals are pretty snazzy too!

Thanks to Snooker & Billiards Ireland for funding these beautiful prizes, there's plenty of room to add winners names for many years to come!

It's taken about 18months of effort by a lot of people but this Friday we'll stage the first All-Ireland 3rd level education snooker competitions since...well, we don't know when!

Thanks to Noel in Student Sport Ireland , Johanna in the fantastic Snooker Club & all those who have supported our efforts in Snooker & Billiards Ireland & NIBSA - Northern Ireland Billiards & Snooker Association 👏👏

The very best of luck to all of the players competing from Maynooth University , TU Dublin Sport & Setu Carlow Sport , hopefully they all enjoy the experience and help kickstart 3rd level snooker for many years to come. 💪

Snooker & Pool 🤝 Students of Ireland

We want to create more clubs & competitions throughout Ireland, so if you're a student and a fan of cuesports have a read of this and get in touch. We'll do all the hard work!

Yes students & cuesports are the perfect fit, for lots of reasons! But more clubs are needed. PackOfReds.com will help create those!

It's the little thing's isn't it? We're improving our platform every day & today's small update could be so important! Now each player can be given a colour-coded handicap, meaning they can set an attainable goal of becoming a 'brown player' instead of a 'green player'. 🙂

This article asks if a weekly league is the best way to engage new cuesports players? It's simple to create, is easily adaptable & provides so many benefits for the long term. Have a read & tell me if I'm right or wrong! 🤷‍♂️

Create a simple league competition with PackOfReds to bring people to your venue regularly. Make them familiar with your venue over time!

...and this was a great way to end the week! I joined episode 3 of the new Re-Racked snooker podcast as their first ever guest. I told them all all about PackOfReds.com and what it's trying to achieve. Have a listen from 0:38:15 and tell me what you think!

One way of getting new visitors to cuesports venues is through competitions, but which format works best?

This blog post asks which format attracts & integrates new players? We'd love to hear your views. What works best in your local club or venue?
