The Inaugural KING of POOL 9-Ball Championships is taking place in Bedford, N.S., August 4-5, 2007. This is a grass roots event. Entry fee is $320 and will be accepted (cash only) the morning of August 4th. So far 23 spots are reserved (all players from Atlantic Canada). It would be great to have a World Champion or two make a cameo appearance. Some folks think the players here are among the best in the world. We are realistically expecting no more than 32 players but would be able to accomodate more. Based on 32 Players, payouts would be as follows:
1st- $4000
2nd- $2000
3rd/4th- $1000
5th/8th- $560
TOTAL- $10240
Saturday August 4th is a round robin starting at 10am that breaks down to a 16 player single elim, with the first round of 16 that same night. Sunday will be the quarters, semis and finals, and will be recorded for DVD. Eastlink Television has confirmed that they will be showing up on Sunday, August 5th, to cover the story.
Firsts in Billiard Industry:
1) Tournament Theme song- Finally, a tune about pool! Credit goes to J-Bru, Hip/Hop Rap artist from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (www.myspace.com/jbrumusic). For sale soon as a single! Proceeds to fund next year's ADDED CASH pot.

2) Live DJ Blasting the fight songs between games. Higher energy tourny than the norm. Has this ever been done before?
3) Promoting the use of sneakers as the footwear of choice for the game to help extend both short term tournament stamina and long term career stamina.
