For Immediate Release
Dear friends of pool sports.
We have spent some weeks now, trying to persuade Eurosport International that the 9-ball Eurotour series belongs on Eurosport 1.
As you know, the Whole Eurotour 2006 series will be seen on the Eurosport channel 2 and from Austria onwards will also be streamed live via internet.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have succeeded in promoting the series to the level that Eurosport International recognise that Eurosport 1 is the channel for the Eurotour series.
Click on "Read More..." for the details.
From 17th June until 17th July, there will be no fewer than 7 showings on Eurosport 1 from the Dynamic Italian open, Dynamic German open and the improveyourpool.com Austria open. In addition to Eurosport 1, we have also between 10th June until 22nd July, a further 5 showings of the same events on Eurosport 2.
This sort of coverage for pool sports has not been seen before in Europe and will give everyone involved the opportunity to promote themselves and their sponsors on the biggest stage in Europe.
IBPF President David Morris, had this to say.
"A lot of work has gone into changing the Eurotour series over the last couple of years and it’s great to see the changes bringing rewards. To have the Eurotour on the largest sporting
channel in Europe is a great achievement and will benefit the sport tremendously. Being that the Eurotour is the hardest and the best 9-ball series in the world, it is only fitting that we
should be able to parade our talents in front of millions of possible viewers worldwide."
Below is the schedule for the upcoming tournaments on both channels.
