    Qatar International Open 9-Ball Championship

    Six of Britain's pool superstars are fighting for international glory and a share of the massive $150,000 prize fund in Qatar this week. The UK heroes are Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Jonni Fulcher, Karl Boyes, Chris Melling and Imran Majid.

    The 2nd Stage of this event is a complicated double elimination format with 96 players in total. The 32 losers of the first will battle qualification as usual on the one-loss-side, but the 32 players who win their first round match will meet another 32 players who have been seeded into the second round of the winners side.

    Confused? Don't be! Suffice to say, that when the 3rd Stage begins it will comprise of the Last 32 players and will proceed as the more usual single elimination format until a champion is determined.

    Neils Feijen, Daryl Peach (wiinner), Francisco Bustamante, and Marcus Chamat
    these 4 players scoop a total of €19,000 from the prize fund by getting on this podium!

    Peach edges out The Terminator in hill-hill final!

    The beautiful city of Lugo in northern Spain was, for the third consecutive year the venue for this popular event.

    This year, largely due to the economic crisis and the proximity of the Qatar Open, the entries were lower than expected.

    The event with 30,000 euros in the prize fund attracted only 90 participants but what it lacked in quantity was compensated for by the quality.

    No less than 3 current world champions and one ex world champion were attracted to this corner of Spain. Current 8 ball champion and world ranked number one, Ralf Souquet, 9 ball champion Daryl Peach, Straight Pool champion Niels Feijen were joined by ex-champ Oliver Ortmann. These weren’t the only “names” at the event, Francisco Bustamante made the long trip from the Philipinnes to play in the tournament and to stage some exhibitions during the Spanish Championships which take place immediately after the “Open”.

    The brackets were littered with household names such as Marcus Chamat from Sweden, David Alcaide from Spain together with last year’s winner Francisco Diaz also of Spain and runner up Manuel Gama of neighbouring Portugal.

    The venue was a Congress Centre on the banks of Lugo’s River Minho. 25 Dynamic II tables were set up and there was live streaming from the main table.

    Action from The Barnsley Open - the BWPPA's second ranking event of the season

    Roy rocks at Barnsley...

    Barnsley produced a tournament full of joy for Roy Kimberley as he took on all comers and came out victorious in two of the three events staged at the British Wheelchair Pool Players Association's ranking event in Yorkshire this weekend.

    It will be especially pleasing for him as the overall top ranked player at the end of the season will win a signed Wayne Holmes cue worth a cool £1,000!

    There were a few new faces at this event and it was newcomer Shaun Madin who took the Challenge Event at his first BWPPA appearance with a strong 5-2 victory over Carl Gannon in the final.

    100th Euro Tour bonus prize:

    The IBPF announced at the recent Dynamic German Open Euro Tour event that it will be paying a bonus of €2000 to the player who is ranked 100th on the European rankings after the Dynamic Euro Tour in Austria.

    The reason behind this is the fact that this will be the 100th Euro Tour event since the tournament series started in 1992. There is a condition that whoever that player might be, they must have competed at the event in Austria otherwise it will be carried over to the next event in the Netherlands. That condition will continue until a player is participating and is ranked 100 after the event.

    IBPF President David Morris said “It is a great achievement to reach the 100th Eurotour and what a prize to give. Somebody will be smiling after that event with €2000 that they never thought they could win by being ranked 100th on the European rankings”

    Luke Rollison with the cash, congratulated by Tournament Director Mark Collins.

    Surprise as hot favourites Drago and Melling out prematurely at Bournemouth

    Players were so keen to practice that they arrived early for this event, but they had to wait patiently outside for the doors to open, as the lovely Rileys Bournemouth club was prepared for he onslaught, but the short wait was very worthwhile as free bacon rolls and coffee were served to the early birds!

    The Group Stages got underway and it wasn't be long before we knew who had made the cut for the single elimination round, with a shot at the very healthy prize fund on offer, generated by the larger than average entry fee of £45.

    As play progressed there were some surprisingly early exits from the big guns, as first, Tony Drago was ousted in the Last 16 by an ever improving Steve Folan, followed by a very capable Lloyd Matining eliminating Chris Melling in the Quarter-Finals - blowing the event wide open!

    When all the dust had settled it was Luke Rollison who took the £700 top prize, after many people had admired his talent earlier in the tournament, and ultimately, he proved too tough a match for Jason Howard despite a good come-back in the final.
