It’s all square at the halfway stage

TEAM EUROPE won the second session of the 2012 Mosconi Cup by three points to two to leave the annual Europe v America match dead level at the halfway stage. There were wins for American pairs in the first and last doubles matches of the day while Europe took both singles matches as well as the second doubles match.

With America leading 3-2 from the first day’s play but underdogs at the start of the competition, there was a feeling that both teams would have been happy being tied at the end of the day.

It was Johnny Archer, playing in his 16th Mosconi Cup and Shane Van Boening who squared it up in the final match of the evening as they beat the stellar European team of Darren Appleton and Niels Feijen.

It was another 5-4 match – the fourth of the competition and the fourth won by the American team – but Archer and Van Boening came with some great shots under pressure to record the win.

Americans battle to first day lead

TEAM USA, the pre-match underdogs took the early lead in the 19th running of the PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup as they took the team and pairs matches but lost both of the singles matches in front of a very noisy crowd at London’s York Hall.

It was just the sort of start US captain CJ Wiley was looking for but at this stage the match is anyone’s. The opening match of the competition featured all ten players playing racks at a time and there were plenty of nerves in the early stages – Feijen missed a couple of makeable balls to hand his rack to Dennis Hatch and then Mike Dechaine was forever chasing a lost position before finally missing the 9 ball to give Nick Van den Berg the game.

Some typical Mosconi Cup gamesmanship entered the next one as one of the American players incorrectly accused Nick Ekonomopoulos of nudging the 4 ball after playing an outstanding full table kick shot to deposit the 3 ball.

The Greek rookie went on the miss a tough pot on the 8 ball to give Brandon Shuff the game. That took the score to 3-2 to the USA. Feijen look in much better shape in his next outing as he made the score 3-3.

Christmas Event Report

Well what a way to finish off a fantastic year for Total9ball, players were invited to attend our Christmas fun filled event. Kindly St Albans Hurricane Room offered us their facilities to use and also added a whopping £200 to the prize pot which enabled T9B to reduce our entry fees to encourage as many players as possible. It was decided the entry fee would be £5 for local members of the club and £10 for everyone else. We ended up with 22 players in attendance which is a good number considering it was a last minute event and only advertised for around a week and a half. There were a great mix of players from local talents Dan and Dave Lim to top amateurs with Courtney Symons and Ramesh Gokhul in attendance, as well as a top level professional Craig Osborne it was sure to be a fun day. Craig wasn't the only cue sport celebrity in the Hurricane Room though, we were very pleased to have Masato Hiraoka from Kamui not only at the venue but also showing that he himself is a very good 9ball player and Dave Knight, owner of Pro9, was there taking the photos and chatting to the players about all things pool from chalks to tips, cues to jump cues and displaying a fantastic range of Kamui products.

OB Cues Design a Cue Contest

OB Cues would like to announce our December contest which is a Design a Cue contest. The New OB Cue line that was launched in March currently consists of 10 cues that range in price from $395 to $495 (see HERE) We are constantly getting requests for more decorative and higher end OB Cues from our customers so we have decided to expand our cue line. We expect to add at least 4 cues that will be priced between $595 and $995 and we hope to have these cues available for sale by the Super Billiards Expo April 4th-7th 2013. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to design an OB Cue for us! You choose the materials, the design and then draw it up either by hand or using a piece of software and then submit it to us. We are hoping to receive some awesome designs but please keep in mind that the cue needs to fall into the price range listed above so that means that suggesting diamonds and platinum as inlay materials will probably not work.

USA set to turn back the tide

AFTER dominating the PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup from its beginnings in 1994 up until the mid 2000s, Team America has been on the receiving end of some heavy defeats in recent years and has recorded just one victory in their last six outings.

Can all that be about to change? Can Wiley’s Warriors take up the challenge when the Mosconi Cup gets underway on Monday 10th December?

They will be facing stiff competition from a European team used to winning this event. In addition they will be up against the fired-up York Hall crowd. When we asked some of pool’s keener observers their opinion, there were plenty backing the USA’s corner.

Important victory for the young Turkish North Cyprus player

Thursday, 06 December 2012 With a fantastic performance, Berk Mehmetcik (TNC) made it to the semi-final of the WPA World 9-Ball Championships. He defeated Joshua Filler (GER) with 9:5.

Filler was undefeated in the competition so far. He was actually the favourite player to win the match. But Mehmetcik seemed to be more focussed. Filler had several slips which Mehmetcik transformed into points for his account. After Filler was trailing 2:5, he fought back and closed the gap to 4:5. Then, in the 10th rack, he forced Mehmetcik to commit a foul.

 WPBL Latest - Ralf Souquet joins the Minnesota Outlaws

Season starts Thursday 3 January 2013




Ralf Souquet joins the Minnesota Outlaws

Hall of Fame inductee Ralf Souquet has committed to play in the inaugural season of the WPBL, adding to the impressive roster of players that already includes two Hall of Fame members, Johnny Archer and Earl Strickland. Souquet now joins countrymen Thorsten Hohmann and Jesse Engel on the newly formed Minnesota Outlaws.

The last minute withdrawal of Boston native Mike Dechaine left the Boston Young Guns team in need of a captain. Teammate and World Champion Thorsten Hohmann was quick to accept the added responsibility, delighted by the addition of Souquet, his 2011 World Cup of Pool winning partner. “We work well playing as a team and are friends both on and off the table. He is my hero, my favorite player, and I’ve always looked up to him.” Larry Chiborak, president of the WPBL, is elated with the addition of Ralf Souquet saying “He is a well-respected player and a gentleman. It is an honor to have him in the league.”
