Danny van Trijp has lost his initial lead in the MODUS Super Series to Richie Howson. The two players will battle it out between themselves on Wednesday to see who walks away with the group win in Group A.
Van Trijp and Howson had started the new week of play in the MODUS Super Series on Monday with four wins. Howson managed to continue his good start and remained unbeaten Tuesday after wins over Van Trijp (4-3), Ultan McDyer (4-1), Patrick Dekker (4-2) and Justin Smith (4-1).
With eighteen points, Howson now has a four-point lead over Van Trijp, who is now on seven wins. Weening is the number three with ten points, which makes him look hopeless for the first spot. Smith, McDyer and Dekker are all three on six points.
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 group 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 group 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.
