“PROPOSED 9-BALL EVENT” ------ Home Nations Invitation 9-Ball Cup


I’m trying to set-up a “HOME NATIONS INVITATION 9-BALL CUP” with 5 aside teams representing England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland for Amateur 9-Ball Players.


Would anyone from the above Countries be interested in getting involved by picking their own team with Ireland’s American 8 & 9 Ball Pool Tour taking care of the Irish Team.


England would be the best place to hold the first event in 2014 with a venue close to a air-port if possible……………..and I propose each Country pays £500 per-team (5 aside teams) with all entry fees paid out in prize-money for both team and individual events….(all above is only a proposal)


Would like to hear feedback to see would it work with the above only being a proposal which could be held each year starting in 2014.

“2014 EVENT” ------ Amateur Invitation 9-Ball Nations Cup


I advertised it away back that I was trying to set-up the following “PROPOSED 9-BALL EVENT” ------ Amateur Invitation 9-Ball Nations Cup and listed below is some brief details on the outcome.


I would like to thank both Andy Warden and Phil Wildman from the following English 9-Ball Pool Tours GB9 and Total9Ball for their support and help trying to make this event happen.


Andy kindly offered to include this proposed event as part of the GB9 Festival Of Pool on the Wednesday but this wouldn’t suit the Irish teams / players traveling due to work commitments etc so after long discussions by email with Phil Wildman we have agreed on the format and also agreed to hold the first event in London with Ireland staging the 2nd annual event in 2015..........................


POSTER:
We hope to have a tournament poster out over the next few days advertising this proposed event.


TEAMS:
We tried to attract teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland but we couldn’t fill all Countries so for the first event the following Countries has confirmed entry, England A, Rep Of Ireland, England B, N.Ireland.

Both England teams will be selected by Phil Wildman representing Total9ball Tour and both Irish teams will be selected by Ronnie Boyle representing Ireland’s American 8 & 9 Ball Pool Tour.

DATE: Friday 28th to Sunday 30th March 2014

VENUE: Hurricane Room, St. Albans, London, England

COUNTRIES: England A, Rep Of Ireland, England B, N. Ireland

TOUNAMENTS: Six Aside Team Event ------- Nations Cup Individual ------ Nations Cup Scotch Doubles

PRIZE-MONEY: £3,200 (based on 32 players ------ limited to 32)

INFORMATION: Contact Ronnie Boyle (c/o Ireland teams) ------ Contact Phil Wildman (c/o England teams)

Good luck with the event. Shame it couldn't have worked on the Wednesday as part of the festival of pool as we could have got sponsors involved and added a few hundred to the prize fund.

Thanks Cueman, it would be very hard 2get players off for three days during the week from work seen its a first time event..................if the event was set-up it might be different then.

We have been contacted by another few countries showing interest……………………if any new country is interested in competing in this event please make contact by Sunday week 24th November 2013 from the details listed below.
