Sunday Golden - The Road to St Albans

I hope you saw the title for this email... Yes that’s right, after 4 very successful years of running Saturday events, T9B are now in a position to offer SUNDAY comps at various clubs in the South. This is great news for all players as it's extra comps for our regular players, but also means those of you itching to play but can’t due to work commitments on Saturdays now have the opportunity to compete in some of the best events in the UK.

We are now half way through our 2013/14 Amateur Season and again it has this far been a massive success, with new sponsors on board enhancing opportunities for Total9Ball players.

This new Sunday series looks to be a cracker. Mark Parker and Phil Wildman have been working very hard behind the scenes to provide you, the players, with a new 4 event series and a Grand Final at the end. Although we feel we have already created the best format to hit the UK (2x double chance) in this series we have not only decided to mix up the formats but also the way players can qualify for the Grand Finals to keep everyone in with a chance at each of the four qualifying events and also the venues.

Thanks to Dynamic Billard for sponsoring this event.

So here we go... below are the details.

Double Dutch Lead Race to Blackpool

FOLLOWING HIS string of magnificent performances in capturing the WPA World 9 Ball Championship in Doha, Holland’s Niels Feijen has put himself in prime position to make his tenth appearance in the PartyPoker Mosconi Cup this December.

There are three automatic spots available on Team Europe drawn from three separate rankings and the 37 year-old from the Hague heads two of those following his 13 -10 win over Austria’s Albin Ouschan.

Compatriot Nick Van den Berg is on top of the Euro Tour ranking while Feijen heads the ‘World’ list and the ‘Combined Ranking’ – a combination of the other two lists.

GORMLEY TURNS UP THE HEAT AT EVENT 6!

28th June was the date for Total9Ball's sixth event of their ten event ranking series. Once again the 2x double chance format was used as over 20 players competed for prize money, ranking points and the beautiful T9B glass trophy.

Also at this event, there was the "roll-up" jackpot and "break-dish" up for grabs. So there was a massive amount of value on offer for all entrants.

The draw was completed at 10am with matches beginning shortly afterwards. It wasn't long before Nicole and Kim were busy with results behind the tournament desk.

Rich Gormley began the day with a 7-4 victory over Phil 'Wildboy' Wildman. This result at one stage looked in jeopardy as Gormley's tip flew off, the time out to re-apply the tip didn't seem to unsettle him as he returned to the table and finished the job.

Mark Parker required all racks available to beat Shakz Islam 7-6, while on the table next door, Del Sim used the minimum racks to beat Jaspal Bamotra 7-0. Tony Burton's event began well with a 7-2 victory over Darian George, while Martin Correia battled back to beat Scott McMillan 7-5.

Thanks to Dynamic Billard for sponsoring this event.

The Netherlands' Niels Feijen wins the 2014 World 9-ball Championship with a hard fought 13-10 win over Austria's Albin Ouschan

Finally, Niels Feijen snapped off the big one. And fittingly he did it in typical Niels Feijen style.

Putting in a career defining workman-like performance, the Dutch veteran, for years known as one of pool’s hardest workers, used every single tool in his vast arsenal, and grinded his way to a hard earned 13-10 victory over Austria’s Albin Ouschan to win the 2014 World 9-ball Championship at the Al Saad Sports Club in Doha.

The victory was Feijen’s first ever World 9-ball Championship and came 15 years after he first turned pro. Along the way the Dutchman has consistently played at the highest levels of the sport, winning tournaments and accolades around the globe. But he’s also had his share of near misses and bitter disappointments, most notably two straight finals losses at the World 8-ball Championship in 2010 and 2011, the former a hill-hill barn burner.

Feijen’s also had to deal with talk from some pool circles over the last few years that perhaps that he might never win the big one, and that he would be forever known as a great player who failed to reach the super elite. But as has been typical of his style for years, the 37 year old Feijen kept his nose to the grindstone, working hard on his game, adding missing details like a tactical game, psychology, and perhaps most importantly a family life with his wife and young daughter.

Taiwan's Chang, Austria's Ouschan, the Netherland's Feijen, and the Philippines' Haya storm into the semi-finals of the 2014 World 9-ball Championship in Doha

After a marathon day of pressure packed championship pool played at the highest levels, Taiwan’s Chang Yu Lung, the Netherlands Niels Feijen, Austria’s Albin Ouschan, and the Philippines Elmer D. Haya all barged into the semi-finals of the 2014 World 9-ball Championship in Doha.

Both semi-finals feature east vs. west scenarios. In one race to eleven, alternate break match, Chang will lock horns with Albin Ouschan. In the other semi, which will be played concurrently, Feijen will do battle with Haya. Both matches will begin at 1:30pm Doha time(GMT +3). The final will be a race to 13, alternate break and will begin at 5pm.

After the surprise elimination of six world champions, along with several other big names the day before in the round of 64, the race to pool’s crowning glory began the day perhaps more wide open than it has been in years. With the field being whittled down from 32 to just four all in one day, the scenarios and possibilities ranged wildly; would an improbable name emerge to suddenly snatch the crown? Or would a familiar name step up to make sure everything remained as it should be in the pool universe.

In the end, after nearly 12 hours of drama, action, crushing pressure and amazing perseverance, we ended up with a little bit of both.

LOCOMOTIVE CRUISES TO MAIDEN NORTHERN MASTERS TITLE

The 2014 GB9 Northern Masters has reached its conclusion with Phil Burford, Mark Lunn and David Hopkin reigning supreme at the De Vere Village Hotel in Blackpool.

The final of this year’s Northern Masters was contested by two professional opting not to participate in the World Championship in Qatar, those being Mark Gray and Phil Burford. Both players had contested main event finals already this season, with Gray victorious in May’s Paul Medati Trophy and Burford the losing finalist in the season opening Midlands Classic.

‘Granite’ Gray came up against and defeated Adam Clarke 9 racks to 5 in his opening match as he started plotting his route to the final. His round 2 match saw him come up against Dave Simmonds, but he had no answer to Gray’s questions and succumbed to a 9-3 defeat. Gray needed one more victory to reach the single elimination last 16 stage, and it was Andy Worthington who stood between him and that spot. It was another 9-3 score here, and once again a score in Gray’s favour. The next man standing in his way was . He hoped his unbeaten Challenge Cup record coming into this event would serve him well here, but a 9-6 win to Gray suggested otherwise. His opponent was Sam Hirst, playing in his first GB9 event of the season. Gray turned on the juice here to secure his spot in the semi-finals, and a 9-2 win saw him through to face Ipswich’s Craig Osborne in the final four. Osborne too had no response to Gray’s prowess, and a second straight 9-2 win ensured safe passage into his second successive final.

Shock upsets send the big boys packing as the field at the 2014 World 9-ball Championship gets down to the final 32

Pool’s next generation of superstars took a giant leap towards claiming their place in the sun today, producing a slew of shocking and unexpected results as the field at the 2014 World 9-ball Championship was cut in half from 64 players down to 32.

It was an extraordinary day given over to unknown upstarts, newcomers, fearless young guns, and a few wily but unheralded veterans, all of whom seemed to collectively state to pool’s elite that it was time for some new and different names to grab the headlines for a change.

So how bad was it for pool’s biggest names? Well, here’s a statistic that could come straight from the crime blotter; five former world 9-ball champions, and the defending champion Thorsten Hohmann all went down to defeat. Heavy favorites like the Philippines’ Dennis Orcollo and Lee Van Corteza also were sent home.

The remaining field still comprises two former world champions, and plenty of pool’s top ranked players. And when they set off tomorrow with all these fresh faces in the mix, the results are likely to remembered for some time to come. That’s because Thursday’s breakneck schedule will see the remaining 32 players whittled down to just four by the end of the day. The semi-finals and finals will them be contested on Friday.

Another 32 players battle through Judgement Day nerves and tension to grab a spot in the Final 64 as the real race for World 9-ball supremacy begins

With plenty of cueing arms shaking, nerves frazzling, and careers hanging in the balance, 32 players kept their hopes and dreams for 9-ball magnificence alive today, as the field for the Final 64 at the 2014 World 9-ball Championship finally took shape at the Al Saad Sports Club in Doha.

The race to pool’s most prestigious prize now takes on a completely different complexion beginning Wednesday, as all matches become do or die single elimination contests. The action and drama is guaranteed to heat up as the tournament will reach its sure-to-be explosive conclusion in just three days. All matches down to the final are race to 11, alternate break. The Finals, which will be played just after the completion of the semis on Friday, will be a race to 13, alternate break.

Even a passing glance at the Final 64 bracket is enough to make the most jaded pool fan stand up and take notice. Many of the big names from the sport who came to Doha have made it through. The field also comprises a host of up-and-coming sharp shooters who have a solid chance at becoming the sport’s next superstar. There are also dark horses aplenty who could upset the apple cart. Even a bunch of newcomers from countries not normally associated with pool made it through, and these players too could very well make some noise.
