2008 Universities Pool Council Nine-Ball Pool Championships
A monster weekend of pool unfolded at Solihull Rileys with the 170 plus university players battling it out in this 9-ball singles tournament. The race to five format, single elimination rounds whittled the players down to the semi finals on the first day, with the tables redrawn each round from the last 32 onwards, and in the meantime, eliminated players could enter a fun Scotch Doubles event. Team matches will began Saturday morning and concluded on Sunday, and the bonus is that everyone was able to watch The Mosconi Cup on Solihull Riley's massive projection screen - pool heaven!

Europe takes an impressive first day lead in Malta
Team Europe, captained by Dutchman Alex Lely, enjoyed a runaway start to the PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup as they sped into a 3-0 lead before being pegged back in the final match.
Wins for the whole team in the first match of the competition followed by a doubles win for the Feijen/Souquet axis and then a great singles win for US Open champ Mika Immonen set them up nicely for the final three days of competition.
Only a 5-3 win for Strickland and Archer in the final game of the session saved a whitewash and it will give the Americans some hope when play resumes at 8.00pm tomorrow with two doubles and two singles matches.
Europe went into an early 2-0 lead in the opening match, the one and only game where all ten players compete.

The Last Four World Champions Relied On Predator Shaft Technology
Four of the last World Champions: Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Ralf Souquet and Niels Feijen battled their way to victory with the accuracy and consistency of a Predator shaft leading the way.
Using his Predator 314² Shaft, Darren Appleton, of Great Britain, took first place out of 128 of billiard’s top players worldwide in the inaugural 2008 WPA World 10-Ball Championship. The reigning 2007 WPA World 9-Ball Champion, Daryl Peach, of Great Britain, also used his Predator 314² Shaft to secure his title, which he will hold until the next tournament in 2009. Ralf Souquet, of Germany, won the 2008 WPA World 8-Ball Championship title with his Predator 314² Shaft, and Niels Feijen, of the Netherlands, used his Predator 314² Shaft to break his way to victory in the 2008 WPA World Straight Pool Championship.
“To compete at the highest level, consistency and precision are key. That’s why I made the decision to switch to the best shaft,” said World 8-Ball Champion, Ralf Souquet. “The Predator 314² Shaft helps me stay at the top of my game.”

2008 Universities Pool Council Nine-Ball Pool Championships - Event Preview
The weekend of the 12-14 December 2008 sees forty-six teams and over 170 university nine-ball players descend on Riley’s, Solihull to battle it out for the Team and Individual Championships. This event has grown dramatically in the last five years, and with a further nine teams competing compared with last season’s entry, the event now boasts the title of the biggest annual nine-ball event in the UK.
“The UPC is very proud of the growth of this event in recent seasons and to see it now as the biggest annual Nine-ball Pool tournament in the UK is quite amazing” said UPC Executive Chair, Dr Iorwerth Griffiths. He added “this is a testament to our excellent venue partner, Riley’s, Solihull and the enjoyment the players get at our events. The vast majority of the players are under 25 and with this being the biggest annual Nine-ball Pool event in the UK shows the contribution the UPC is making to the future of the discipline in the UK.”
Editor's note: In a last minute deal, The Pro Shop is pleased to announce an exclusive year long sponsorship deal has been struck with the UPC, and Pro9 is hoping to carry reports from as many of these events as possible.

9TH CEP ANNIVERSARY TOURNAMENT
Another great event in the December sunshine on the Spanish Costa del Sol.
Following the last Eurotour of the calendar year, 100 foreign players decided to stay on for the annual CEP 8 Ball event.
The entry was limited to 192 players as time was short and several people including some top Spanish players, ended up on the waiting list.
This is becoming the norm in December, in the Eurotour, over 70 players were disappointed as that too was full some weeks before the event.
For the 3rd time in 9 years, German Oliver Ortmann carried off the spoils, a beautiful trophy and 4000 euros.
Oliver had been looking strong all through the event, he was taking no prisoners and won 61 of the 83 games he played.
“Daz” Appleton also had a largely uninterrupted run through the tournament, because of a walkover in the first round he didn’t have to play as many games as Oliver but with only 22 losses in his 72 games, Daz also impressed the large crowd of spectators.

Spanish Eurotour Champion, Niels Feijen from the Netherlands

Niels Feijen from the Netherlands wins the Spanish Euro Tour!
Niels Feijen has won his first Eurotour in 3,5 years. He was the player that got to the semi-finals most often in the same period so he must be feeling very happy and relieved (of the monkey on his back). The Spain Open, held in the Torrequebrada Hotel, in a beautiful set-up for both players and fans, always draws a big number of participants. This year, nearly two-hundred fifty players entered in an attempt to cash a part of the total €44K. Ralf Souquet had won the two previous Eurotours, after a three-year absence in the Eurotour winners circle... Was he going to score a triple?
A number of players really sent some strong messages in the earlier rounds. Craig Osborne from the UK looked in-form with clear-cut wins over Muratore and Nicholas Otterman. In the last sixteen, Craig ran into crowd favourite, small of stature but with the greatest of strokes, Francisco Diaz-Pizarro... 'the No-Like-Safe-Matador'. Sandor Tot is treating the Eurotour fans to some up-tempo, aggressive 9-ball again. After a two-year sabbatical and the birth of a healthy son, he seems to have become stronger. He always played fearless and attacking, but now even more so. He reached the semi-finals, winning against Feijen, Petroni and Engert. Chamat was the terminator of both Diaz' and Tot's hopes.

Thrilling Finale : World Team Upsets Team Philippines!
The World Team came back from behind the final day of the Quezon City Invasion against the awesome Filipino home team in a thrilling 9-8 finale fit for the history books. The event took place at the Tri Noma Mall and was also titled "The Grand Villar Showdown" in honor of host sponsor Senator Manny Villar who has become a staunch supporter of billiards in the Philippines. Premier management groups Bugsy Promotions, Puyat Sports, and Negros Stables helped organize the event under the sanctioning of the BMPAP. The Quezon Invasion paid out $60,000 in prize money between the two teams for 1st and 2nd place. The first team to win nine matches would be crowned champions in this race to seven games per match with alternating breaks.

QC INVASION: TEAM WORLD RULES
Philippines reached the hill first but could not get over it, squandering three opportunities to do it to allow Team World to escape with a 9-8 win and rule the Q.C. Invasion: Quezon City-Philippines vs the World Grand VILLARDS Showdown Thursday night at the jampacked activity center of Trinoma Mall in Quezon City .
After playing catch-up in the first two days, the Filipinos came out smoking in the final day to steal the driver’s seat from the foreign invaders and looked on their way to winning this event presented by Senator Manny Villar’s VILLARDS: Tulong sa Pagsulong ng Philippine sports and the Quezon City government led by Mayor Sonny Belmonte and Councilor Ariel Inton.
After Warren Kiamco lost to Thorsten Hohmann, 7-4, in the finals day’s first match, the home squad raked in four consecutive victories – Francisco “Django” Bustamante edged Raj Hundal, 7-6; Efren “Bata” Reyes subdued Rodney Morris, 7-5; the foursome of Bustamante, Alex Pagulayan, Dennis Orcollo and Roberto Gomez prevailing over the quartet of Hundal, Yang Ching-shun, Mika Immonen and Wu Chia-ching, 7-6; and Gomez blasting Charlie Williams, 7-3 – for an 8-6 lead in their race-to-nine duel.
But just at it seemed that the Philippines will once again stamp another proof of the country’s dominance of the sport, everything went awry.
