your chance to come to europe!!!

[Solartje]

hiya all,

from 25-29 of januari, there will be the anual 2006 open weert 9ball championship. This is one of the biggest open championschips in europe and i think its a perfect reason to come and see or play billiard in europe. Its the IPT version of europe

The price money hasnt been anounced yet, only the "special" 7ball ringgame for 8 of the best players around.
Last year: Bustamente won a nice 6000€ in the ringgame. Ralf Souquet, Niels Feijen, Marcus Chamat, Nick van den Berg and Mika Immonen and eventually Thomas Engert (yes the guys from the musconi cup!!) didnt stand a chance against the breaking power of Bustamante
This year there will be 8players, and a 7000€ winner takes it all.

exept from this there will be the normal 9ball championship. for man AND woman seperatly. 4 day qualifying (5sessions) to get to the final 62

Entryfee
Men: € 35,-
Women: € 25,-
Re-entry: € 45,-

7-ball Sudden Death Challenge: € 600,-

i really think its a greath option for good player and poolfuns to come see pool on the other side of the ocean. (And yes, its in amsterdam for those who like to smoke some local specialty )

If there are AZB'ers who will be coming or playing let me know, as i might go to, and id love to see some AZB'ers in real life once.


SPECIALITY; Ronnie O'sulivan will be playing there too. He has been training with some of the top european pool players for some months.!!!!! How many times will u see ronnie, bustamente, Feyen and other world class poolplayers see playing together AND its in europe.

IIRC Lee Chenman won last years edition. It's also very interesting to hear that Ronnie O' Sullivan has been training with the top European pool players and will be playing a nine ball event. I wouldn't expect him to go really far because he isn't used to playing nine ball or pool for that matter but you never know!

thats right sniper, but i was talking about the special event they organise together with the championship. Busta won that one. its a invited only small exhibition thing, winner takes it all. we are all trying to get some money together for our national god Mario Lanoye to play again. as 600$ entree is ALOT for any player of our country. He lost in the finals, but hes a excellent player. I know he's done some greath things vs strickland etc. but he is as unknown as i am around the world. TO bad, cuz he is a GREATH player.

well hope anyway many people will come to play for themself in the open, and join to watch the special event.
