Chance of A Lifetime

I just want to add a little more information about this event. Alan, being a true English gentleman, can be a little modest.

Every year, the World Amateur Snooker Championships and the World Team Snooker Championships are held in a different country; much like the Olympic Games. The USA gets its chance in 2006.

It is a major honor for the US to have been chosen to host an event of this magnitude, since snooker is not the cuesport of choice in this country. This event will feature 300--yes, 300!--of the world's top snooker players, all gathered under one roof. This means that it will be a bigger event than, say, the US Open 9-Ball Championships! This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see world class players run out on a 12 by 6 with tiny pockets. This is a must-attend event for any pool or snooker enthusiast.

Mark your calendars and get your tickets now before they are all sold out!
