BWPPA TOUR ‘ESCAPES’ TO BARNSLEY AS SEASON CONTINUES
The 2013 season got off to a flying start in Birmingham in March as Tony Southern regained the coveted No.1 ranking spot, by just edging out Ireland's Fred Dinsmore in the final. Dinsmore got his revenge though, beating Southern to the Gold Medal at the recent European 9-Ball Championships in Slovenia.
The rest of the new season promises to be just as exciting, as we expand our venues to include the ‘Escape Pool Bar’ in Barnsley for this event, and hopefully later in the year, a permanent home for the tour at Stoke Mandeville.
Several players who have not played on tour much in the last year or so will be returning, and visa permitting Russian Alexander Prokopiev will be returning as will Polish player Leszek Blumczynski, who is currently living in the UK.

OVERVIEW
The 2013 BWPPA tour will feature five events. Each event will be held in a crammed weekend of pool, which will consist of two tournaments, a main ranking event to be played over the Saturday and Sunday and a Challenge-Cup event on the Sunday, open to all players who haven’t made the second day in the Main Event.
CHALLENGE CUP
This is an open event to all 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 (race to 6 in 10 ball). All races in the one loss side will be 7 racks (race to 6 in 10 ball).
