New wheelchair players invited to Northern 9 Ball event
2012 promises to be an exciting year on the BWPPA tour, as for the first time in many years, there is a genuine battle for the No. 1 ranking spot, as Tony Southern needs to finish ahead of Roy Kimberley at the first event to snatch the top spot.
There will also be a fierce battle for selection for the European Championships in Luxembourg in March/April 2012 and the World Championship in Fujairah (UAE) in September 2012.
The tour welcomes players of widely ranging ability with its two division structure that means that non-elite players can battle amongst themselves in the "Challenge" division as well as having the opportunity of matching themselves against the top players on the tour in the main ranking event.

OVERVIEW
In 2012 the BWPPA will be running a six-stop tour. Each weekend of pool will consist of two tournaments. A main ranking event spanning the Saturday and Sunday and a Challenge-Cup event on the Sunday.
CHALLENGE CUP
This is an open event to all wheelchair players who do not qualify for the second day’s play of the main event. The event will be single elimination. At the end of the season the top Challenge Cup ranked player will receive a prize from our sponsors. The draw for the challenge will take place at 10.30am on the Sunday.
MAIN EVENT
The main event will be used to derive all UK rankings – the number 1 player on the main event will be known as the UK number 1 wheelchair player.
The main event will start on the Saturday after the registration and players meeting at 10am. We will play up until 6pm on Saturday and if the last round of matches hasn’t already started by this time then they will be played at 9.30am Sunday morning. The semi finals and final will be held on the Sunday starting at 10.30am unless there is a 9.30am match taking place in which case the semi finals will start 10mins after that round.
Main Event will be double elimination until the quarterfinal stage if over 16 entries otherwise it will be DE until the semi-final stage. All races in the winner’s side will be to 7 racks. All races in the one loss side will be 7 racks.
