Meanwhile, the organizers had a tough time to handle the participants in the first round, the reason being a number of them were taking part for the first time in an event. While some reported the venue without their personal cue, others were yet to learn the basics of the sophisticated game of billiards and snooker.
In the meantime, the markers had a hectic schedule on the third day of the competitions with most of the first round matches scheduled for today.
The second round shall start from tomorrow. As per the draws displayed on the notice board, there are 51 cueists taking part in the junior snooker championship.
