GB9 Leagues, Great Britain's Official 9 Ball League is delighted to confirm that the mouth-watering £25,000 prize money in it's inaugural season is now guaranteed.
Teams of three players compete against each other in singles and scotch doubles action over three periods of twelve weeks, culminating in a Regional and National series of finals. Each player's final ranking within the weekly updated National League table will determine who goes forward into the National Finals.
"Read More..." for the details.
The innovative system will see the table split into ten equal divisions and the top point scorers from their respective division will be fighting it out for a percentage of the guaranteed £25,000 prize fund. This means players ranked highest in the top division come October 2010 will be cueing for a share of a cool £9,000, whereas players placing highest in Division 10 will be fighting for a share of £500. The pay-out structure is aimed to encourage players of all abilities and the previously unheard of idea that is rewarding grass-roots enthusiasts.
GB9 Leagues Chief Executive, Tony Weafer, commented, "Having the prize fund guaranteed is an amazing result. Our vision is to promote the sport of American Pool in Britain to heights that many believed it couldn't reach. By guaranteeing the £25,000, we want to send a message out that GB9 Leagues is the future...and a realistic one for every player. The good news doesn't end there either, we'll be announcing details of our primary sponsor within the next week, to say I'm excited would be playing it down".
