The annual Crystal-Kelly Invitational concludes tomorrow in Nice. I haven't been able to find any results. Does anyone else know what's happening?

The next World Cup tournament starts a week from Monday, June 29, in Matosinhos, Portugal (near Porto), and runs to July 5. No word yet on any streaming coverage.

The Crystal Kelly was quite a success this year. Imagine, the general average for the whole tournament was 1.875. Frederic thinks it's the highest of all time. Speaking of amazing, the suspens lasted until the last round where Blomdhal had to win against Merckx to secure his victory but he failed to do so as Merckx made a run at the end to tie the game. Then it was open for frederic because he had already won against Blomdhal so a win would do it for him. But he was playing the fearful Jaspers. But similar to the magnificent week Frederic had, he cruised to victory with an impressive run of 19 during the match. So it's a 3rd victory for him at the CK and the 2nd in a row as he won in 2008. Just a few data. Frederic during his 7 matches (to 50 points) made a run of 14, 15, 18 and 19. Wow. On 7 matches he averaged 2.13.Here's the complete results:
1/ Caudron - 11 pts - 2.13
2/ Blomdahl - 11 pts - 1.84
3/ Merckx - 9 pts - 2.08
4/ Sanchez - 8 pts - 2.03
5/ Jaspers - 6 pts - 1.94
6/ Sayginer - 5 pts - 1.88
7/ Zanetti - 4 pts - 1.51
8/ Van Kuyk - 2 pts - 1.59

Next week will be held the France National team Championship at the Agipi venue. So it will be broadcasted live on the web on Kozoom. Many top players will be there of course. The weekend after is the World Cup in Porto.

Thierry,

Thank you for the report from Nice. Two wins in a row for players with your cues: Teran won in San Diego.

What are the dates for the French Team tournament -- I see nothing about it at Kozoom.

Will there be any live coverage from Porto?

I agree, Thierry! Many thanks from the USA!:bow-down:

I would love to know what the venue was, also the kind of tables used.

If you run across pictures...or video:thumbup2:...please share!

I didn't know that Javier won, that's great. I wasn't on site so I'm not sure which tables were used, but I can ask Frederic if you need to know.
I guess Kozoom hasn't advertise it yet because it's only next weekend. But it should be advertised this week on kozoom's website. It should be good because the french teams all have great players (Caudron, Zanetti, Mercks, Jaspers, Forthomme...). I haven't heard of any live coverage in Porto. At least not from Kozoom. Unfortunately I can't go because I'm heading back to Canada:frown:. But this weekend you can see on Kozoom a stream for the National french championship of 71/2. Soumagne will be the favorite, he's playing very good cadre.
