The opening group of the week at the MODUS Super Series continues to gather momentum with Graham Hall remaining ahead and finely poised ahead of Simon Whitlock and Andy Hamilton.
Tommy Morris had the early momentum in Group A alongside Hall after Day One but it was the two well known players and former World finalists who gained their own head of steam on Tuesday. Whitlock sits just behind Hall on 12 points with six wins and four losses.
While Hamilton sits on six wins and four losses too with 12 points. Tommy Morris is just behind on 10 points. Steve Robertson and Andreas Nikolaou are well adrift on six points so likely the top four are the main players in the conversation on the final day of Group A on Wednesday.
The MODUS Super Series is a weekly tournament with 12 players competing from Monday through Friday for a spot in the final group, which takes place on Saturday night. The player who finishes first after three sessions qualifies directly for the final night on Saturday night. The remaining players go into the final two groups defending on finishing position with five overall qualifying.
There are three from Group B and two from Group C as well as the direct winner from Group A that make up the line-up. On finals night, players compete in a small group stage, followed by semifinals and a final to determine the weekly winner.
The competition begins again the following week, with twelve new players competing for the title. After twelve weeks of competition, all weekly winners compete in "Champions Week," which is played every thirteen weeks of play to determine who wins the series and one with the top prize of £25,000.
Whitlock and Hamilton start in Group A alongside Graham Hall, Steve Robertson, Tommy Morris and Andreas Nikolaou so the victor goes through to Finals Night while the remaining players join the two groups in the evenings in Jamie Hughes, 'Wolfie' Martin Adams and Ashley Coleman in Group B with Group C comprising of Jenson Walker, James Hubbard and Adam Mould.
Finals Night is played on Saturday evening starting at 10pm where the players compete in a small group stage followed by semi-finals and a final to determine the weekly winner.
