    2012 European Mosconi Cup Ranking Announced

    FOLLOWING on from success at the 2011 Mosconi Cup in Las Vegas last December, the selection criteria and qualifying events for the ’12 European team can be announced.

    The European Mosconi Cup Ranking will consist of 11 events – six Euro Tour events and five ‘World’ events. The World events will carry approximately 50% more points due to the international strength of the field.

    Only players finishing in the last 32 of each event will be allocated points and at the conclusion, after the 2012 US Open, the top two players on the European Mosconi Cup ranking will automatically gain entry to the Mosconi Cup side.

    The remaining three players will be Matchroom Sport wildcard picks although the ranking will play a part in this. With England’s Mark Gray, a Mosconi Cup winner in 2008, having won the opening event in Treviso in December, he is the early leader of the 2012 Race to the Mosconi Cup.

    In addition to the calendar of events, other as yet unannounced tournaments may be added to the list, provided they carry the correct credentials and criteria.

    Superb quality live stream by Accu-Stats.com from DCC 2012

    There has been a long wait for the first major event of the year, and all the big guns have been getting itchy trigger fingers, so it's no surprise to see that this eagerly anticipated event has brought the stars out to shine, and who knows, perhaps how things go here will set the trend for the new year? Will 2012 be another year of European domination, or the beginning of the American revolution. Despite what appears to be a lack of talent from Taiwan, Japan and China, there are plenty of very strong Filipinos, will Efren Reyes be able to pick up yet another DCC crown or will the years finally show on the Peter Pan of Pool? If we're really lucky, we'll get to see some little known "road players" surface into the DCC limelight, grabbing some cash before slinking back into the shadows of America's billiard parlours, or, perhaps we will see some fresh young talent rise from the ranks to take his place among the familiar names of pool?

    9 Ball, One Pocket and 9 Ball Banks - Three massive individual tournaments decide the "All-Around" Champion at this incredible action fest of a hustler's jamboree, and this is going to be the BIGGEST and BEST year ever.

    Representing Great Britain is the omnipresent "Dynamite" Darren Appleton - hoping to make a good start to 2012, and currently making good headway on the "9 Ball Banks" division, a DCC title would really make his day! Who else is there? Everybody! Efren Reyes, Francisco Bustamante, Ralf Souquet, Rodney Morris, Shannon Daulton, Earl Strickland, Niels Feijen, Scott Frost, LeeVan Corteza, Evgeny Stalev, Ike Runnels, Dennis Orcollo, John Brumback, Jose Parica, Stevie Moore and hundreds of others.

    Once again, Pro9 has some "ACCESS-ALL-AREAS" passes for the Accu-Stats.com PPV - full professional commentary, top quality streaming, multiple cameras, and lasting the entire duration of the event - the normal price is $79.60, even Accu-Stats "Special Price" is $63.95 (or $9.99 per day) but Pro9 has a very limited number available for an ultra special price available Pro9 PPV Special Offer on a first come-first served basis to European readers - as usual, availability is limited so buy now and we'll email you with your log-in details.

    Contrary to popular belief - Accu-Stats is actually broadcasting during very social hours for European viewers... the vast majority of matches broadcast are at totally acceptable viewing times for all of Europe, yesterday's match broadcasts were at 4.30pm, 7.00pm, 9.00pm, 10.30pm, 11.59pm, 1.30am, and 3.00am - perfectly acceptable for a Saturday night!

    The 2011 Mosconi Cup Pictorial

    JP Parmentier - Pro9's favourite French photographer of them all, has created another fabulous collection of photographs from the Mosconi Cup. He did this in 2010 and presented it to the players of the winning team and there were cries and howls of pain from the fans that they weren't able to have a copy as well, well this year you can!

    80 sumptuous glossy pages of the most exciting photography, capturing the highs and lows, all the action, all the emotion, all beautifully blended into the finest coffee table book that no pool player or fan should be without.

    The best news of all is that you can preview the books before you buy. Just click the appropriate link for normal paperback or the delux hardback version and see some of the best photos from the 2011 Mosconi Cup - imaged by JP Parmentier.

    Rack Starz Calendar Achieves International Success

    On Friday, November 18th, well over two hundred professional and amateur billiards players, celebrity VIP’s, New York City media, and fans gathered at Union Square’s upscale billiards club, Amsterdam Billiards to celebrate the release of the Rack Starz 2012-2013 Limited Edition Collector Series 18-month Calendar. Since its inception, the calendar has not only been a great success here in the United States, but has hit international waters making it a world-wide victory.

    “As my first time being involved with a professional calendar production, I was honored to work with such a creative and talented team... the final product does a beautiful job of showcasing each player's unique personality in a stylish & cutting-edge way," says Alison Fisher. “It was an unbelievable experience to work with Photographer Larry Busacca. He makes such a connection with you while shooting; you almost forget you are standing half naked in a room full of people”, confirmed Liz Ford.

    The Rack Starz ladies not only launched a very successful calendar, but had a lot of fun behind the scenes while doing so. “Throughout my entire shoot, my shoes were taped to the floor so that I would stay inside the frame. It was difficult trying to pose, but I still managed to work some nice photos”, states Yomaylin Feliz. “I don't know how, but Larry pulled a very different side out of me every time I stepped onto that shooting canvas. There were things said and done there that should never be repeated ever!” declared Supadra Geronimo, laughing.

    This glossy full-color calendar measures a serious 12" wide by 17" high and was shot completely in New York City in the summer of 2010. Not only does the calendar showcase each lady’s individual rock star style, but also includes six bonus months to help ring in 2013. With only 3,000 calendars in circulation, this limited-edition collector series calendar is on its way to being a sold out sensation. If you are one of the lucky 3,000, visit their web site or Facebook page to find out where the Rack Starz will be next to personally autograph your calendar!

    Knock out the cuesports celebrities to earn a handsome bounty!

    My apologies if, like me, you didn't know that former Team Europe Mosconi Cup player Lee Tucker was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. I'm sure this bad news will come as quite a shock. Unfortunately, the small cell cancer that Lee has is incurable, but he has responded well to several rounds of intensive chemotherapy, and is responding as well as his consultant has hoped, and he is certainly capable of giving you a really "bad beat" if you fancy your chances at this charity poker tournament being held at Equal Chance in London tonight.

    Sorry about the late notice, but if you're in town and at a loose end, and fancy earning a bounty for knocking out the celebrity cuesports stars in attendance, get on down to Walthamstow - £10 from every entry fee goes to the hospital that treated Lee and the club sounds like it's got something for everyone too, from Poker to Chess, Scrabble to Kalooki... Even pool tables!
