The 8-Ball Battle of Scandinavia
Biljardsport is proud to be organiser of “The 8-ball Battle of Scandinavia”, which will take place between the 17th to the 20th of January 2007.
The tournament will probably be one of the biggest 8-ball tournaments ever organised in Scandinavia, and with Bwin.com as partner for this tournament there will be at least 30 matches broadcast live at Bwin.com. It is free to watch the matches, and Bwin.com also offers live betting on those matches, and you can also bet on who you think will win the tournament.
As a player you are guaranteed more matches than normal in Open tournaments in Europe, because of the choice of group stages in the first round. Every player has some bad matches sometimes, but with group stages you can still proceed to the next round if you manage to turn bad rolls into good rolls, even if you start with some bad results.
"Read more" for the details.
Some very good players have already announced their participation, so if you would like to test your skills against the top players in the world this is your chance! In a race to 5, alternate break, anyone can win against the pros! Even better: If you proceed to the knock-out stages, there will be best of 5 short sets, instead of long matches. In long races to 9 or 11 the best players are always favourites, but since each set will be a run to 3 with alternate break, the chances for some surprises increases dramatically! The players who first win 3 sets proceed to next round.
With this system it will be more exciting for both spectators and players! Every rack is deadly important, and you will almost get the feeling as playing double-hill all the time!
If a full field of 256 players, the first price will be 15 000 Euro, and the grand total will be 39,000 Euro! The biggest 1st prize for a European Open tournament!!! With 160 players there will be 9000 Euro for first place and 23,900 Euro in grand total. Also the biggest 1st prize in a European Open tournament… The player who makes the most break & run during the tournament will receive a prize of 500 Euro, and the best woman player will receive 200 Euro!
Do not wait till it’s too late, register today for a superb pool week in Norway!
