<b>Here's a last minute chance to qualify for the US Open 9 Ball Championships!</b>

Originally designed as a way of getting a Scottish representative into the US Open, last year's winner Paddy McLoughlin put the "kibosh" on that, and so although it's still primarily a Scots promoted event all entrants are welcomed.

In 2007 this event had 67 runners, and a delighted Paddy McLoughlin was the recipient of a fabulous trip to the US Open 9 Ball Championships in Virginia, with his flight, hotel, $500 entry fee all paid for by the SAPPA organisation.

<b>Pool Training Camp in Moscow hints at great strength in Russian Billiards future</b>

Johan Ruijssink, the coach of the Dutch National Team and of the winning Team Europe in the Mosconi Cup, together with former European Champion and multiple Eurotour winner Alex Lely have organized a bootcamp in Moscow, Russia from June 27th till July 1st.
 
The concept of the very intense camp is to work very hard for five days. The mental and physical reserves of the participating players are severely tested and so is their commitment to becoming a better player. The average ten hours of training per day during the camp is not a yearly average to strive for, but when done two, three times per year for a five day period it leads to a phenomenon, already accepted in many other physical sports, where modern trainings methods are more established: <i>supercompensation</i>. After such an intense period of training all systems in the human body recover quickly. The human body also anticipates for future challenges and thus the supercompensation leads to a heightened level of technical, physical and mental skills.

<b>Millership and Czapski split the pot at Nottingham Open</b>

Alan Millership and Bartek Czapski made the "pro choice" and split the pot after reaching the final at the Rileys Nottingham Open today. The alternate break format with groups stages and then a single elimination last 16 knockout event, organised by Kevin Simpson was a popular affair.

Those that didn't make the cut were permitted to enter a plate competition with a £100 prize fund - won by Adam Clarke.

<b>Set your alarms for 1AM London time tonight for two LIVE Matches!</b>

The International Pool Tour announces that Alex Pagulayan will not be playing in the challenge match against Karl Boyes on June 24, 2008.  Pagulayan's management informed the IPT today that he  lost his passport. In a statement released by management at Puyat Sports, Pagulayn said "I am very sorry but I will not be able to make to the exhibition match this coming Tuesday, June 24th. I lost my passport in a car mishap last week. I have applied for a replacement of his passport with the Canadian embassy and the foreign affairs department here in Manila."  The International Pool Tour wished Pagulayan good luck in resolving his passport issue. 

Replacing Pagulayan will be professional pool player Tony Robles.  Mr. Robles contacted the IPT several days ago about taking part in a future broadcast. When the IPT was informed of Pagulayan's inability to participate, "Robles seemed like the natural choice" said Deno Andrews, Director of the International Pool Tour. Andrews also said that "we are delighted that Mr. Robles flew across the country on hours notice to participate. Tony is a true champion and one of the game's nicest people." The IPT thanks Mr. Robles for his participation.
 
The match airs live at www.internationalpooltour.com Tuesday, June 24th, at 8pm (eastern). The match is free for all viewers.

<b>The Locomotive steams home from Barnsley with the trophy as passenger</b>

Phil "The Locomotive" Burford, the former Under 18 Junior UK Champion, has won The Barnsley Nine Ball Open with a stunning 10-9 victory over the two-time English 8-Ball World Champion Chris Melling.

The youngster from Darlington appeared to tear through the single elimination stages of the event with a very strong performance producing some very one-sided results in his favour, but without doubt the toughest match was the final, going to a tense hill-hill deciding rack.

The Barnsley Open isn't just about the main event though, as Friday night saw a Challenge Match between Richard "Indiana" Jones and Darren "Dynamite" Appleton - the second leg of the challenge that started with a win by Jones at Mickey Flynns, his home club in Cambridge.

This time the match went to Appleton, leading most of the way despite a strong mid-match rally by Jones which saw him level the scores at 11-11. The final score, a dominating 21-15 win for the Yorkshireman saw calls for a "decider" to be played at Cambridge!

Finally, one of the most fun challenges at this event, the fantastic speed-pool tournament. Two tables set side-by-side, and players have to clear the table faster than their opponent on the next table. It's great fun to watch, and now, Craig Dixon knows what it's like to win it too!
