THE POT ONERS CHALLENGE

THE POT ONERS - 2015

The format of the Pot Oners, an exclusive membership, was initiated in January 2010, as a way of retaining a friendship between a set of people who have worked together on numerous contracts in recent years. They found that they had many things in common, their experiences of life, their humour and their sporting interests, one being snooker. The concept was formulated in December 2009, during a Christmas Lunch.

As a way of keeping in touch, it was decided to meet up, at least once a month to continue their friendship and at the same time indulge in a game of snooker at a convenient venue. The inauguration of the Pot One Challenge Trophy took place and by the end of 2010 had produced "9 Previous Owners" of the trophy. Towards the later part of 2010, the Pot One Wooden Spoon was introduced as a prize for the overall loser realising "4 Previous Owners".

Prior to this the Pot Oners had already agreed "nicknames" for each other and the Pot One Challenge Trophy operates with these as their identifier.

The Pot One Challenge Trophy is contested using the normal rules of snooker, with one exception. To ensure that there is a winner and loser on the day, a lead was taken from cricket with the Duckworth-Lewis method and the Pot One equivalent, the aptly named Davis-Parrot Method was introduced.
