Topic: T9B Am Series Event 6 (28th June 2014)

**REMEMBER TO ENTER THE GRAND FINALS YOU MUST HAVE ATTENDED MINIMUM 5 EVENTS THIS SEASON**

The new Total9ball season is here and the Amateur Series is back for its 5th successive season and we must say it looks better than ever. During the close season T9B have secured a fantastic new sponsor of Dynamic Billiards. We are proud to have Dynamic Billiards on board and I’m sure you the players will enjoy the enhancements this sponsorship deal will add to an already brilliant series. Adding Dynamic Billiards to our superb current sponsors Hurricane Room, Kamui, Sanctuary Cues, Rileys and Ultimate Breakmasters shows The T9B Amateur Series is clearly the UK's biggest and best. Make sure your apart of this season, I promise you wont be disappointed.

Last season we used the 2x double chance format for a second season and again it worked very well with players gaining the maximum value money and getting the opportunity to play 9ball using one of the most fresh and exciting formats to ever hit UK 9Ball. This season we have decide to stick with the popular format and expect this season to be more popular than ever.

For anyone new to the T9B 2x format here is some info.

T9B double chance events seem to be the most popular format we use, we believe the reason behind this is because it offers unbeatable value, players are entered into the draw twice which means players can lose a match but still be the overall winner of the tournament, it guarantees each player a minimum of two tense knock-out matches and also means each entrance has the opportunity to get in the prize money twice. Feedback regarding these event has always been brilliant and therefore we feel using this format is the way to get the most players involved. Win all your matches and you can collect the Winners and Runners up prize money... a very nice days work. A beautiful glass trophy is awarded to the winner of each event and also to the overall winner of the rankings after the five event series.

GORMLEY TURNS UP THE HEAT AT EVENT 6!

28th June was the date for Total9Ball's sixth event of their ten event ranking series. Once again the 2x double chance format was used as over 20 players competed for prize money, ranking points and the beautiful T9B glass trophy.

Also at this event, there was the "roll-up" jackpot and "break-dish" up for grabs. So there was a massive amount of value on offer for all entrants.

The draw was completed at 10am with matches beginning shortly afterwards. It wasn't long before Nicole and Kim were busy with results behind the tournament desk.

Rich Gormley began the day with a 7-4 victory over Phil 'Wildboy' Wildman. This result at one stage looked in jeopardy as Gormley's tip flew off, the time out to re-apply the tip didn't seem to unsettle him as he returned to the table and finished the job.
