Mervyn King takes weekly title in MODUS Super Series debut, set for Champions Week

Mervyn King crowned his debut in the MODUS Super Series by winning the weekly title. 'The King' took the ninth weekly title by winning over Steve West in the final. This qualified King for Champions Week, in which he may compete for the overall victory and a top prize of £25,000 later this season.

The final day began with the group stage, in which the six remaining players were divided into two groups. In Group A were Jamie Atkins, Tommy Lishman and Charlie Martin. All managed to win once. Atkins won over Lishman (4-3), but lost to Martin (4-2). Lishman prevailed 4-3 against Martin. Based on worst leg balance, Atkins dropped out of this group.

In the other group, Steve West became the group winner. The first match in this pool was between King and James Richardson and was won 4-0 by King. West then proved too strong for both Richardson (4-2) and King (4-3).

King got to face Martin in the first semifinal and booked a spot in the final by winning 4-2. West became the second finalist after a 4-1 win over Tommy Lishman, giving King and West their second meeting of the evening. This time the win went 4-2 to King, who thus crowned himself the weekly winner. Alec Small, Jenson Walker, Sam Spivey, Shane McGuirk, Reece Robinson, Scott Campbell, Derek Coulson and Devon Petersen were the previous eight weekly winners this season.

What is the MODUS Super Series?

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. A week of play begins with six players competing in Group A. They play against each other once each on the first three days of play. The winner of this pool is directly through to finals night.

The numbers two and three will enter Group B with three new players. They will play each other on Thursday and Friday, after which the top three of this group may also prepare to participate in the final night. The numbers four, five and six from Group A advance to Group C, where they too will be joined by three other players. Two more players from this pool will advance to the final night.

The final night is played on Saturday night starting at 10 p.m. where players compete in a small group stage with two groups of three players, followed by semi-finals and a final to determine the weekly winner. After twelve weeks of competition, all the weekly winners compete in "Champions Week," which is played every thirteen weeks of play to determine who wins the series and takes home the top prize of 25,000 pounds.
