9 Ball Banks - One Pocket - 9 Ball

There has been a lot of rumour and gossip, but now it's official. The same people who organise the incredibly successful Derby City Classic have hit on the superb idea to hold a similar event in the summer... Cue the 1st Summer Classic, to be held at Harrah's Tunica hotel and casino in Mississippi.

It's such a brilliant idea combining accommodation with a casino, it seems so obvious, but I'm not aware of anything like this in the UK. I'd love to be proved wrong, please contact me if you know of anything like this hotel/casino complex located in the UK that might be able to accommodate a pool tournament.

The Summer Classic will have a lot to live up to, as it's sister event has established a tremendous following worldwide, it's even on my own "bucket list" as one of the must-see events in the world.

You can expect similar playing conditions, and a virtually identical tournament format, the three pocket billiard disciplines leading to an all-around champion - but they've got a real unique bonus up their sleeve at this event... The first time I've heard of an event using some 10 foot long Diamond Tables! Visit their website for more information, including some hotel room special discount offers for players and fans.
