Hearn is taking us in the right direction says cloth manufacturer

The Barry Hearn factor is having the desired effect on the world of snooker according to the UK’s largest billiard cloth maker.

Milliken report that the new chairman of World Snooker is sparking renewed interest in the game here and abroad and the market for its cloth is in better shape now than at any time in recent years.

“Barry Hearn is an experienced negotiator and, like us, wants only the best for the game. His involvement is attracting new tournaments and more television coverage,” comments Milliken marketing director Duncan Kettell (pictured).

“It proves that many people still enjoy snooker with high-end clubs in the UK and Europe doing well despite the recession and we continue to gain market share.”

Robertson To Face Trump At Crucible

Neil Robertson will begin the defence of his Betfred.com World Snooker Championship title against Judd Trump on April 16.

The random draw for the first round of snooker's biggest tournament took place today and Bristol's 21-year-old Trump was picked out to face Australia's Robertson.

"It's a tough draw because Judd is a very dangerous player," said 29-year-old Robertson. "He only plays one way, and that's to attack. He scores heavily.

"But I'd rather play him than someone who takes a long time over shots. You know what type of game you're going to get. I could have had an easier draw but I could have had a tougher one too."

Robertson will be aiming to break the 'Curse of the Crucible' by becoming the only first-time champion to retain the title the following year. "I don't feel any pressure because of that," said the left-hander who beat Graeme Dott 18-13 in last year's final.

 The 2011 GB9 Midlands Classic - Press Release

GB9

Phil Burford, Jayson Shaw and Damian Massey were the title winners at the first GB9 event of 2011 at the Barceló Hotel in Daventry.




Most players will agree that the 93 days since Chris Melling sank the final 9-ball in Blackpool back in November 2010 have flown by, and it was plain to see that the off-season brought with it a certain anticipation for the best American pool players in Great Britain to hit the ground running on the tour's return to Northamptonshire. Countless new faces entered the cauldron of pool knowing they were taking their place in what many people, players and spectators alike, are quoting as the best national pool tour on the planet.

Korea's Ga Young Kim wins in Taiwan

Korea have won this most prestigious event for two years in a row now as Ga Young Kim takes the 2011 title following in the steps of 2010 winner Yu Ram Cha - indeed it was Yu Ram Cha who eliminated Young in last year's final, and it was a case of "revenge is sweet" as Young ejected Cha in the quarters this year!

Once again this event's very international field of talented players was sponsored by Amway, and supported by the Sports Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan, Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee and Sports Federation, and hosted at the delightful A-Zone of TaiMall Shopping Center in Taiwan.

Bonus Ball's Barry Bremner Pro9 How did you get into promoting pool. Barry Bremner "Promoting is not a new game for me. I grew up racing cars and always had a passion for the sport. I eventually began helping a friend of mine promote his speedway that he had purchased. It was all amateur drivers but I promoted them like they were professionals. I did hundreds of hours of promotional materials, caught the attention of the local media and solicited a local television company to do a weekly show on the sport. In three years the car count and fan attendance tripled. However, I felt I had achieved all I could for that level of sport and retired from racing. It was then that I first picked up a cue! A friend invited me to join an Eight Ball league. I really enjoyed shooting balls around so that was how I got hooked on pool. Being a competitive racer, naturally I was attracted to the league concept and enjoyed watching everybody's statistics week to week, especially my own!" "One day I was asked to run a local bar pool tournament. I had no clue how a pool tournament should be run so, being Canadian and a hockey nut, I drew up a round robin event with play-offs. The players all came in and looked at me as if I lost my mind. They played and they loved it! Everybody played each other two games and I tallied up their points at the end of the day. Then I went took the top four in points and matched them up in races to four, just like hockey! Everybody played all day long! It was a huge success with the players and the bar! Within a few months, I had a packed house of players that would play from noon until 8:00 at night. Problem was, I needed more tables. I moved the tournament to a local billiard room, treated the players like stars and called the tournament, the Winnipegpool.com Super Series. Winnipegpool.com was the name of my friends pool website. I limited the entry to Vegas and under players, because the top Super Vegas players scared off players. Eventually, I got kicked out of my own tournament. LOL" "The tournament kept going with other promoters and still is the biggest tournament in Winnipeg, playing a great format! I even added a new rule that had players on tilt! They said, "You can't change the rules of pool!" Why the the heck not if it makes it more fun to play! I made it that if a player ran you out, you had a chance to re-rack and try and get some points! I hated getting run-out! The first time it happened, I sat there and thought...this is dumb, I just lost without getting to the table! I didn't like that at all! I could lose quite well on my own, I wanted a chance to play! Each ball was worth one point and a win was a 3 point bonus, for a total of 10 points. If you ran-out, I added on another 3 points for a total of 13 points. We did have many 13-13 games which were very exciting to watch. So when a player got run-out, he didn't lose 13-0, he had a chance to earn some points. Dry breaking killed you because the score would be 13-0! Most learned to become better breakers real quick! That was the beginning of my pool promoting. Pretty fun!" "Read More..." for the women moncler jackets details.

144 players commence Season 4 of the GB 9 Ball Tour

The Barceló Daventry Hotel will play host to all five tour events this year, and no less than 144 of Britain's best pool players descended on the favoured Northamptonshire venue this weekend.

There were some new faces at Daventry, players who won spots on the tour during regional qualifying tournaments held earlier this year, aiming to see how they stack up against more seasoned players, and hoping to make their mark in the GB9 Challenge Division.

There arel also the regular international class players, familiar names to pool players and fans around the world - Peach, Majid, and Boyes, but sadly no Darren Appleton, as he has relocated to the USA for the next 12 months.

A new year, a fresh start, a new hope - good luck to all, from everyone at Pro9!

Van den Berg Maintains Top Spot

HOLLAND’S NICK VAN DEN BERG, a member of the victorious European side last December in London, kept the No.1 spot in the European Mosconi Cup rankings following a last eight finish at the recent WPA World 8 Ball Championship in Fujairah, UAE.

The 30 year-old Dutchman will be looking to make his fourth Mosconi Cup appearance on the 8th to 11th December when the event takes place at a yet to be announced Las Vegas venue.

The big climber is fellow Dutchman Niels Feijen who moves from 16th place up to second after making his second consecutive World 8 Ball final appearance. Feijen is a veteran of six Mosconi Cups and was on the winning side in 2007 and ’08.

2010 Mosconi Cup MVP, Darren Appleton, maintains his position in the top three following a semi-final appearance in the Middle East.
