American Pool Network are pleased to announce a series of satellite qualifiers for the IPT World 8-ball Open Championships - a tournament with a $3,000,000 prize fund.

Normal entry fee's to this event are $750/$1500. However by playing in one of the satellite qualifiers you could gain entry for as little as £25.00

The last satellite promoted by APN was a huge success drawing a field of 35 runners and both Gareth Esprit and Martin Correia both one spots in the UK qualifier.

The satellite dates are as follows:

Sunday 16th July - Rileys Victoria
Sunday 16th July - Rileys Manchester (Deansgate)

Sunday 23rd July - Rileys Solihull.

Each event will cost £25.00 entry. However if you enter a tournament on the 16th (Victoria or Manchester) you will get entry for £20 at the Solihull event.

The format will be group matches followed by straight KO. (Time allowing) - The tournament will NOT be single elimination, so players will be guaranteed at least 2 matches.

APN will guarantee one $750 entry to the Victoria IPT Qualifier on 4th or August 2006, regardless of entries. This is at EACH venue.

For The N A Open, IPT allowed any entrant to a qualifier competition at the US$ 500 level the option of upgrading to a US$ 1,000 entry at any time up to the closing of entries and IPT don't appear to have in the meantime acquired any aversion to collecting as much entry fees as possible;) .........so there is every reason to expect that The World Open will be the same :)
 
Personally we have no problem with a player wanting to upgrade and at players discretion they may want to play for the full amount!!

At the last satellite we ran one of the winners decided to play in Florida rather then the UK - at his expense of course.
 
Martin Correia wins the double!!! He beat Damien Overton 7-6 in the final in London.

James Kay won 7-5 over Paul Williams in Manchester.
