A weekly pool club in London.

AMES

The format, in one breath

Come paired or come solo.

Play one-frame rounds.

Winners stay on.

The strongest pairs make the knockout.

The night moves in three acts

  1. 19:00

    The room opens

    Doors, drinks, pairing of solo players. The table runs casually, no scoring. The host works the room.

  2. 19:45

    The opening draw

    All 20 pairs play one called frame each. The host calls the order, wins seed the field, and every pair is on the stage once.

  3. 21:30

    The room closes in

    The top eight pairs enter the knockout. Quarter-finals one frame, semi-finals one frame, the final best of three. Ends 23:00.

Venue
Announced to the list first

Every pair plays. All twenty pairs enter the opening draw, called to the table in order by the host. Come for a frame is a promise, not a hope.

Room 001 is 8 pounds, the founding price. It holds through Room 003. Once the first three rooms sell out, the price settles at 12 pounds from Room 004. The list hears first and pays least.

The room

One table. One room. One pair holding it.

Clean play and good people. Recurring faces, music, one stage the whole room watches, a host who keeps the call order impossible to miss, and a proper ending everyone stays for.

Good players. Good people. One room.

Come for a frame. Stay for the room.
