45th All Japan Championship underway in Hyogo
Always one of the last major ranking events of the year, after several days of preliminary qualifying, the main event field of 128 players that enter the main stage of the Japan Open has been determined.
Each entrant to this double elimination, race-to-9 round has paid $440 to compete in this, the 45th annual 10 ball event in Japan, and Europe's early risers are in for a treat with free live video being streamed direct from the venue. As the field narrows to the Last 64, the event becomes a cut-throat single elimination race-to-11 format and with a $100,000 prize fund, you can be sure of some tense action.
European nations are well represented at this event, and it's refreshing to see it in this day and age, but at this tournament all players are required to wear shirts and waistcoats - it's nice to see a touch of class coming from the Japanese organisers.
One interesting and useful thing to note when viewing the group brackets is that in Japan - the winners go to the left side of the draw table.

The winner and new #1 ranked player: Nick van den Berg (NED) Foto: EPBF/AMM
“El Nino” takes the title
Saturday, 10 November 2012: The winner of the 2012 Dynamic Billiards European Open 2012 is Nick van den Berg from The Netherlands. He defeated Fabio Petroni (ITA) with 11:5 in the final match.
The final was probably the most entertaining match of the whole tournament. Both players demonstrated pool billiards to its perfection.
However, van den Berg had the better break shot and his game seemed to be a bit more consistent than Petroni’s. And it was proven to be true. In the 12th rack, Petroni made no ball on the break and van den Berg ran that rack and his next one and took a three-point lead over Petroni. The Italian never recovered from that and in the end could not win one more rack. 11:5 was the final result for van den Berg who not only won this event but also finished this season as the #1 ranked player on the Euro-Tour rankings.
“In the beginning of the season, I set a goal to myself: I really wanted to win this Tour this year”, said van den Berg, “I finished third last year and second the year before so I had this goal throughout the season.” “In the beginning of this tournament, David and Albin had a good lead on me so I knew I had to reach at least the semi-final or even final in order to win the Tour.” “I played very good in the final and I figured out the break shot. While most of the other players struggled with it, I knew how to break. That probably made the difference in this final match as well”.

The newest member of the European Mosconi Cup team 2012
- Nikos Ekonomopoulos (GRE)
Foto: EPBF/AMM
Young Greek won the shootout in Treviso
Wednesday, 07 November 2012: With a 2:0 victory over Albin Ouschan and a 1:2 defeat against Oliver Ortmann, Nikos Ekonomopoulos won the shootout for the final spot in the European Mosconi Cup Team 2012.
All looked well for Ekonomopoulos. He started strong and got a comfortable 5:3 and 5:4 victory over Albin Ouschan in the first match. Then, Ekonomopoulos faced Oliver Ortmann. The German won the first set 5:2 and Ekonomopoulos had to do something. He struck back and won the second set with the same result. However, the deciding set went in favour of Ortmann who clearly won 5:1.
This created an awkward situation for the third match. Ouschan had no win and was 0:2 in sets; Ekonomopoulos had one win and 3:2 in sets and Ortmann had one win with 2:1 in sets. That meant that whatever happened, Ouschan was out. If Ortmann won the match, he would be on the team. If Ouschan won, it would be Ekonomopoulos’ name on the charts. Ortmann could not find his rhythm in that match. Ouschan played out of this world and defeated Ortmann in two sets with 5:1 and 5:0. That opened the way for Ekonomopoulos to represent Europe on the Mosconi Cup team in London in December this year.
“I am still so excited”, said Ekonomopoulos after the last match. “I had to wait for the last match to finish in my favour and luckily, it did.” “I would have preferred to beat Ortmann but I could not get my way in the third set of that match. Whatever! I am on the team, and that’s the only thing that counts for me now.”

THE 2012 GB9 BRITISH GRAND PRIX
The GB 9 Ball Tour will mark the end of an era next weekend as players descend on the Puma Court Hotel in Daventry for the final time for the 2012 British Grand Prix.
Much like this time three years ago, this tournament and the coming few months will bring with it a period of great transition for the tour. The end of the 2009 season signalled what remains the single biggest change in the tour's history with the move away from Rileys clubs and into hotel venues. For the majority of the last three years and for the whole of the last two, events have been held at the magnificent Puma Court Hotel in Daventry (formerly named the Barceló Hotel). The hotel has proven to be a grand and spacious venue, with Daventry itself well connected to many of the country's main roads and motorways. Countless thousands of racks have been played within the hotel, and many great memories from both on and off the table will be taken from our time here in the last three seasons. On behalf of all players, officials and all other parties associated with the tour, the GB9 committee would like to extend their utmost thanks and gratitude to the venue that many may now consider the spiritual home of 9-ball pool here in Great Britain.
However, as times change the tour looks to expand ever further. Back last month the tour announced exciting new plans for the 2013 season and beyond as a three-year contract was signed with the Carlson Rezidor group, proprietor of Park Inn and Radisson Blu hotels across the world. A three year deal was also struck with the Cedar Court hotel in Bradford which will see one event per season held there.

** MONEY ADDED ** Dynamic British Open 9-ball Championship
All wheelchair cue-sport players are invited to compete in the ** MONEY ADDED ** Dynamic British Open 9-ball Championship. This will be an ** open ** handicapped event that does not attract ranking points - ** no dress code **
The 2012 BWPPA season reached it’s climax at the last event in Liverpool with Roy Kimberley just edging out Tony Southern for the coveted end of season no 1 spot, but the pool is not over for the year yet.
The entry fee will be £25 with £100 added to the prize pot, and please can players confirm if they are coming as we are putting on a buffet, so we need numbers confirming before event so we know how much we need to spend on food.
This will be an event to celebrate the season, thanks our sponsors, play some pool, have some food and a few drinks, and wish the team going to the world championships in Germany the best of luck.
We will also have a players meeting at the event to discuss the exciting plans for next season, so we would like as many players attending as possible.
The Premier Inn (Barnsley Central M1/J37) still have double/twin or disabled rooms at Premier Saver rate of £75 for the 2 nights but be quick, they sell out fast, so at that price and the low entry fee and added money, we hope to see you all there.

Over 120 players attend tournament in Slovenia
Played on 9 foot American tables, this memorial tournament has been so oversubscribed that organisers have been able to greatly increase the prize fund from the amount initially advertised on the official competition poster - this very positive response from the players confirms the promoter's decision to make this an annual affair.
Everything is as you would expect with familiar tournament format, dress codes and the usual rules and racking options - including a star-studded field of players from neighbouring European countries as well as others further afield including Greece, Italy, Austria and even Norway and Estonia!
Please Note: This article originally stated this event was played exclusively on 7 foot tables - this was incorrect as the entire tournament uses full-size 9 foot tables. Pro9 would like to apologise for this editorial error and we are happy to correct this here.

Appleton tops the rank but final spot still up for grabs
AFTER NINE EVENTS stretching across three continents and eight countries, DARREN APPLETON once again has topped the European PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup rankings and will make his fourth appearance when the two teams collide at the York Hall from Monday 10th to Thursday 13th December.
"Dynamite" made his debut in a losing team in 2009 but bounced back to garner MVP honours the following year in London, and was solid throughout last year's event in Las Vegas when Team Europe retained the trophy.
"At the start of the year, the Mosconi Cup was my goal. The York Hall is the best venue in world for pool so after 2010 I was determined to make the team," said Appleton.
I'm very happy and excited and it's going to be amazing to play in front of our own crowd. It's a special atmosphere and anybody that enjoys pool must experience it in their lifetime,
"We have good balance this year between experience and youth so I feel good about us winning and continue our domination in the Mosconi Cup," he added.
The second of the two automatic spots went to NICK VAN DEN BERG who will be making his sixth appearance in the event. Van den Berg debuted in the winning side of 2002 at the York Hall.
"It's good to see the Americans have a strong team this year, but we have seven on our team including the audience and Johan, and that will be very hard to beat," commented Van den Berg.

DARREN APPLETON WINS 2012 CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS
“This is the toughest tournament in the world,” said an elated Darren Appleton moments after capturing the 2012 International Challenge of Champions title. The pressure packed $25,000 winner-take-all event was held at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, October 23. Appleton, from England, defeated Shane Van Boening of the USA by a thumping score of 5-1 and 5-1 in the final match, and was crowned “Champion of Champions” for an incredible second year in a row. The two semifinals and the Championship match were taped by ESPN for telecast beginning December 9.
“You have to be on your game the entire tournament,” said Appleton. “There’s no margin for error when every player is a champion. One shot missed and you can lose $25,000! The pressure is just incredible.”
Indeed, of the four international champions in the event, Appleton had to fight to defend his title as the reigning “Champion of Champions.” The Semifinal and Final matches require the winner to win two sets, race to 5 games each set. In the event of a tie, the pressure becomes intense with a one game sudden death shootout.
