Richard Twomey wins the T9B End Of Series Masters Tournament

Twomey is the T9B Master

Total9ball finished it's current amateur season yesterday with The Masters event held at the fantastic St Albans Hurricane Room. The event was different to anything T9B has run previously, with longer match races and a mid-session interval in each match. 27 players competed, each with one aim, to become the T9B Masters Champion. Once again there were lots of new faces which is great and from their positive feedback I’m sure we will see them again.

Jack Wheelan vs Lee Anderson

Morley International are pleased to be hosting one of the biggest money-matches of the year. 2 former IPA Tour amateur champions face off at BlackBall rules for a minimum pot of £10,000 on the 31st of August.

Derby's Jack Whelan travels up to Morley in confident mood, having been last year's Golden 8 ball singles, team and mixed doubles champion. However, Blackpool's Lee Anderson recently reached his first main event final on the IPA tour and was himself recently part of the victorious team at the Golden 8 ball tournament, and only losing to the eventual winner in the semi final of the singles.

Both players love to play an attacking game and always look for a finish, so expect fireworks from the word go. A massive crowd is expected on the day and the atmosphere will be nothing short of electric.

All wheelchair players invited to compete as the BWPPA season continues

The 2013 continued at Event 3 as Aslam Abubaker took the Kamui 9 Ball Shootout with a win over No.1 ranked Roy Kimberley.

Kimberley maintained the top spot, but with just 2 events to go, the battle for the top spot at the end of the season and the Predator Ikon-2 cue that goes with it, could come down to the last ball of the season. The rankings are based on best 4 out of 5 events, and with the final event being event 5, only this seasons points will count, and provisionally Kimberley and Abubaker have identical records this season, with a win, a runner up and a semi final each. Tony Southern although no 2 in the rankings is a further 15 points back on this seasons points alone. Ireland’s Fred Dinsmore is also in contention if he is able to make the last 2 events.

After this event, later in the year we will be moving to our permanent home for the tour at Stoke Mandeville, you can see the latest pictures of the venue being refurbished here, although we will hopefully have an event each season in Barnsley or a Rileys venue.

Archer set for record-breaking 17th appearance

AMERICAN pool legend Johnny Archer will be making a record-breaking 17th consecutive PartyPoker.net Mosconi Cup appearance when the 20th anniversary event takes place in Las Vegas in December – with the added pressure of captaining the American side.

The 44 year-old from Georgia, who went undefeated at last year’s event, winning five out of five matches, has a huge job ahead of him as he attempts to lead the US to victory for the first time in four years.

“I am so excited and I feel like I’m playing better now than I ever have in my career,” said a delighted Archer.

“It is very important for the US to win this time because we haven’t won since 2009 and we need to establish ourselves again as the dominant team, just like back in the 90's.”

Barry Hearn and Jeanette Lee enter Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame

The Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame is honored to welcome two of pool’s most media-savvy personalities in 2013. The United States Billiard Media Association today announced that women’s champion Jeanette “The Black Widow” Lee and British promoter Barry Hearn have earned induction into the sport’s hall of fame by becoming the 61st and 62nd members.

Born in London, Hearn began his professional career as an accountant. In the early ’70s, Hearn bought several billiard halls around London, and then expanded into event promotion and television with the formation of Matchroom Sport.

In 1994 Hearn branched out into American pool, staging the Mosconi Cup, a Ryder Cup-style 9-ball event pitting the top players from the U.S. against the best of Europe. For 20 years, the Mosconi Cup has been aired live and in its entirety throughout the UK, and as edited programing throughout Europe (and on occasion in the U.S. Since 1994) Hearn has also staged the World Pool Masters (20 consecutive years), the World Pool League/World Cup of Pool (1998-2013), and World Pool Championship (1999-2007).

Incredibly, Matchroom events have never featured an entry fee, and have distributed nearly $9 million in prize money. Additionally, more than 800 hours of Matchroom events have been aired live throughout Europe and Asia, with thousands of additional hours of packaged programing being aired throughout the world. It could be argued that Hearn’s efforts through Matchroom have played as important a role as anyone’s in the development of international pool competition.

Ruijsink is back to steer Europeans

UNDEFEATED EUROPEAN captain Johan Ruijsink returns to the fray for one last time as he assumes captaincy duties for Team Europe when the 20th annual Mosconi Cup takes place at the Mirage, Las Vegas from 2nd to 5th December.

The 47 year-old Dutchman will be making his sixth appearance at the annual Europe v USA team event and so far a team in his charge has yet to be beaten. Ruijsink first took charge in 2006 when he stopped the rot with a draw in Rotterdam following three successive American victories.

He followed that up with an epic, if heated, victory on American soil in 2007; the first by a European team in the US. The Dutchman then skipped the next two as Alex Lely took charge, but returned in 2010 at the York Hall as he masterminded the first of a run of three consecutive victories.

“I’m particularly looking forward to this one as it is the 20th anniversary of the Mosconi Cup, it is in the US and next to that it will be my last captaincy, so three very good reasons to be highly motivated to win this one,” said Ruijsink.

UK's Darren Appleton has shattered all previous high runs in any major 14.1 event in the history of the sport

Darren Appleton of the United Kingdom has done something no player has done in the 102 years of pocket billiards championships. Appleton on his first opening offensive inning ran a perfect 200 point game. This put him in the record books with a 200 to 1 score over Filipino world champ Francisco Bustamante. Dragon Promotions and Dr. Michael Fedak have brought another globally star studded field at this year's 73rd Olhausen World Tournament hosted by Steinway Billiards in New York on August 19th-24th,2013. Live stream broadcast will be on www.insidepool.tv

Bustamante made his first offensive attempt on a long distance ball but was then stuck with no easy shot next. He went for a tough combo and missed leaving the rack open for Appleton. Francisco would never leave his seat again. For the next 1 hour and 40 minutes Appleton ran rack after rack in precision. Eventually he broke the World Tournament record of 73 events with a 175 which was previously held by Thorsten Hohmann. And then he broke the all time record at any major at 183 which was set at a old US Open 14.1 by Joe Procita. As the audience cheered and the pressure mounted ball by ball, the steely nerved Appleton never slowed down. He eventually hit the final breakshot and made 2 more balls to make a perfect 2 century run and win the match at 200 points which he left the table unfinished without a miss.

"I've been telling my friends for days now that after watching Appleton play many matches, he really plays the right way. He plays great patterns and comes with the tough shots when he has to as well", commented John Schmidt, 2012 World Tournament 14.1 Champion.

Appleton was all smiles when he broke record after record.

"I really didn't know what the record was until they announced it during the run. I was just wanting to get to 170. But I was pretty happy when I heard I broke the World Tournament record. It feels really good", said Appleton.

When asked when did he feel he could get the 200 balls Darren answered,"When I ran 80 I felt that I could do it because I felt really good the way I was hitting the balls." Appleton actually ran a 150 unfinished in practice before the match today in warm-ups.

When asked what has motivated him so much during the run he answered," My fiance Angie reminded me we have a big wedding bill to pay soon!" he laughs.

"I would have continued my run if we had 2-3 hours before the finals." Appleton left his run unfinished and Bustamante humorously swiped all the balls after his run in any case.

EVENT REPORT: 2013 GB9 SOUTHERN MASTERS

GB9′s first event ever event in Essex has reached its conclusion with Daryl Peach beating Karl Boyes to win his first GB9 event in over 12 months at the 2013 Southern Masters at London Stansted airport.

This event was the first of its kind in GB9′s six year history, and the somewhat curious location ensured a truly cosmopolitan feel to a national tournament. Participants from Italy, Denmark and Spain all flew over to Great Britain to contest perhaps this season’s most anticipated competition yet. With places in a World Pool Masters qualifier at the conclusion of the event up for grabs, this was sure to be a hotly contested event and the immense quality of pool certainly didn’t disappoint. Peach who was down in tenth position in the rankings for the World Pool Masters qualifying spot prior to the start of play, had already done his maths and worked out that he needed nothing short of winning the main event in order to be in the running, a fact which brought immense pressure on each of his matches and that makes his win quite incredible.

Peach began his route to the final with a smooth 9-5 win against Spain’s Albert Casellas which put him through to a winners qualifying stage match with another Spaniard in the form of Juan Carlos Exposito. He ensured that Spain suffered a second consecutive defeat as a 9-4 win comfortably saw the 2007 World Champion into the last 32. Here he was to meet his first Brit in the form of Tom Staveley. Any complacency was left well and truly at the door as he hammered his compatriot 9-0 to advance to a last 16 match up with Imran Majid. A very high quality encounter followed with four break and runs helping Peach to a 9-7 win and a quarter final with another international figure in the form of Denmark’s Jan Keller. His third international opponent suffered the same fate as his first – 9-5 was the score in favour of Peach, and a semi-final with Dave Nelson awaited him. Special mention must go to Nelson at this point for a quite amazing run of his own to the semi-final. After qualifying for the single knockout last 32 with a comfortable 9-2 win over Martyn Royce, no less than THREE hill-hill encounters followed against Courtney Symons, Tommy Donlon and Kevin Simpson, all of which he managed to win 9 racks to 8 to meet Peach in the semi. His luck was to run out, however, and Peach saw off his Wakefield opponent 9-5 and secure a place in the final.
