Spanish Open, June 2023, from Matchroom

[Bob Jewett]

Here's another open tournament announced by Matchroom. It's in Lugo which is in the northwest part of Spain. It's got Roman ruins. I was there for a 3C world championship and it was a very enjoyable trip.

---------------------------------------------------------

Matchroom Pool is delighted to announce another signature multi-table major event, the Spanish Open Pool Championship set to take place from 20-25 June 2023 in Lugo, Spain at Pazo De Feiras E Congresos De Lugo with a $200,000 prize fund and the final two days broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in Spain.

Entries will open Monday, 3 April at 2 pm UK time with the top 64 on the current Nineball World Rankings given priority entry. The remaining spots will be up for grabs with entries costing $250.

Matchroom delivers again. They are the most innovative and prolific event producers we've ever seen in pool.

This year alone, they are adding an Asian Tour, an Oceania Tour and now a Spanish Open. There are now dozens of Matchroom ranking events worldwide and pros and aspiring pros have more options than ever before.

Nine ball is a truly global sport now, with major competitions and numerous ranking events in four continents (North America, Europe, Asia, Australia).

These are happy times for pool and, given Matchroom's continuing aggressive pursuit of its vision for our sport, even happier times than these likely lie ahead.

Thank you, Matchroom!

That may well happen. I think there will be an enthusiastic home crowd.

I hope they also bring a tournament to Japan, Japan needs it.

Plot twist. MR uses made in Spain Predator tables.

I am elated to see the news of the Spanish Open. I've been huge fan of David and Francisco, long before they achieved their championship greatness.

On the one hand, I am looking forward to seeing the Spanish Open's venue and hope it is as great as the one in Kielce, Poland. I loved seeing, experiencing, and learning about the Polish culture and its Pool Federation. It was so cool.

On the other hand, I won't bend the knee to current powers-that-be, though I do very much admire Barry Hearn and miss him at the helm.

Getting the World 8 Ball will have to suffice.

The world 8 ball is in Japan this year? I had no clue. Most other tournaments here in Japan are a joke with very low prize money.

Predator had posted it a couple of months back, around Sept 7 -10.
